Kindig-It Design<\/a> spent 18 months building this 1965 Mustang for the Optima Street Car Challenge<\/a>. Rising up through the custom hood is a naturally aspirated 6.9 L V8 built by Jon Kaase Racing Engines<\/a> capable of 800 hp. Exhaust is routed through a set of custom stainless steel headers, 3-inch piping, and Borla mufflers. Behind the motor is a Tremec six-speed manual transmission and independent 9-inch rear end. The Mustang rides on a Roadster Shop Fast Track chassis<\/a> featuring C7 Corvette spindles and hubs, RS SV Fox coilovers, and parallel 4-bar rear suspension. A set of Pirelli PZero tires surround B-Forged 600 wheels (20×9, 21×14). Kindig-It Design created the exterior with a custom valance, flares, hood vents, floor, firewall, rear deck lid, and quarter-panel extensions. They painted the body in Modern Classikk<\/a>‘s “Killer Tomato”, “Black Hole Black”, and “No Strings White” paint. JS Custom Interiors<\/a> covered the interior and Recaro seats in black Hydes leather. <\/p>\n
