Between the muscle car themed premiere episode of The Grand Tour Season 3 and the announcement of the 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, the eponymous pony car has been on everyone’s mind this week. Mustang on the brain is only going to get worse when you see this 1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1 restomod from RK Motors out of Charlotte. Following in the footsteps of their completely absurd Operation Fearless Ford Bronco, this 1970 Mustang Mach 1 restomod crams a whole lot of power into a vintage style car. When we say a whole lot of power, we’re not talking about just dropping in a modern Coyote engine. We’re talking about cramming a Jon Kaase Racing Engine outputting 912 dyno-proven horsepower between the fenders and mating it to a Hughes Performance 4-speed automatic–without having to sacrifice precious air conditioning for the warmer months. The power and performance aren’t the only selling points because, as you can see, it’s drop dead gorgeous. And at the end of the day, who hasn’t wanted to own a vintage Mustang? If you’re going to pick one up, it might as well have almost 1,000 horsepower.
