Overview

1967 Ford Mustang

Not a clone. Never a clone. Ruffian cars has established not only a name for itself in the custom car world, but a genuine identity. Never making two of the same. Ruffian Cars uses unmitigated imagination as design inspiration and painstaking attention to detail to be the signature of every build.

The FIA Fastback is a beautiful blend of the two cars every owner wishes they “would have kept”, the Shelby Cobra and the Fastback Mustang. This amazing blend began life as a 1967 Fastback with an incredibly clean body.
As stated, this build was design first with a dash of engineering and plenty of fabrication. 3” flares were needed to fit the Cobra 289 FIA competition wheels. The firewall was modified to move the engine further back. The nose was dropped similar to the 69 and 70 trans am cars to increase aerodynamics. The shock tower braces and cowl were reinforced to reduce effects of added chassis flex from the increased power, traction, and aero.

A 6 point roll cage and bead welded fuel tank cover add safety to the street purposed FIA Fastback Mustang. The design of the roll cage allowed the ability to add “speed holes” or gussets to reduce weight and beveled to add strength. A 20 Gallon Fuel Safe Fuel Cell with a fabricated fuel cell support frame blends safety and usability.

The heartbeat of this Fastback is a Shelby Engine Company 364 Crate Engine. An Aluminum 289 Shelby Block punched out to 364 Cubic Inches and topped with Webers, making 500HP and mated to a Tremec 5 Speed Manual Transmission. It's the perfect drivetrain for a 289 FIA Cobra. So why not the FIA Fastback?

This 1967 Ford Mustang FIA Fastback could possibly be the finest Mustang ever imagined, ever built, ever owned. Available for $699,950.
