Details

This custom 1965 Ford Mustang is powered by a Mast Motorsports aluminum 427ci Harrop Black Label engine producing 700hp and more than 500 ft/lbs of torque over the power band. The engine is mated to a Quaife QBE69G sequential 6-speed gearbox and is controlled by a Geartronics GCU1 paddle shifter for 55-millisecond shifts, up or down, full throttle or partial, without the clutch. Complementing the driveline, the suspension is a Cortex Racing Xtreme-grip in the front and rear with Radial-X spindles, Ohlins shocks and Eibach springs. It utilizes StopTech brakes with Forgeline GA3 20x12 and 19x10 wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Super Sport ZP tires. The project was carefully implemented over 7 years by Ryan at Kertz Fabrication and includes a roll cage, wheel tubbing and extensive chassis customization to accommodate the new components. Filip at Cortex Racing provided components and considerable advice during the project. The body and paint were done by Ken's Custom Auto Body, well-known in California for his work on Cobras and GT40s. Modern supercars are manufactured in low numbers, but 'Potent Pony' is one-of-one, with great care taken in the quality of the build to match its capabilities. The project was finished in July 2022 and a few test miles have been logged since completion.
