Stumbled across this. We've had alot of people askng about this lately, and, while I admit i shot down the idea... on this restomod, it looks pretty damn good.

Custom hood is sharp too... looks like the standard turn signal hood with the shelby scoops mounted overtop

I agree it looks pretty darn good!

[sm=drooldude.gif] Look pretty good

SWEET!!! ok so this is probably very stupid, but: what year is that? looks to me like '67+.

That is sweeeeet. Badass. yes it is a 67.

WOW !!!!!!

Wow, that looks incredible!

haha you can see how shiny the floor is cause u can see the details of the underside of the engine lol.

but 8 headlights is a little overkill wouldnt you say??? i vote get rid of the eleanor tiny blue LEDs next to the normal headlights...

I like it.

stripes are a bit too far spaced, but REALLY like the treatment of the racing stripes around the front valence...overall i really like the car. Cold for $209,000 has a 427 block with a 4sp toploader.

It looks okay now, but I generally dislike it when people do those sort of exterior mods. As time goes on and that grill is no longer used on new mustangs, that 67 will look bad.

Anytime I'm looking to buy an old classic car, I hate it when some idiot in the 80s or 90s trashed it up by putting something like that on it. It's like all the guys in the late 60s who cut out the spit window on their rare 63 corvette coupes to make them look newer. Or the guy who put the 70s pimp-like interior into a 64 mustang. Or the guy who painted their classic car hot pink or fluorescent yellow in the 80s because that was cool at the time. Or hacked the roof to give their classic car "Delorean" type doors in the 80s. I'm sure it looked cool at the time, but now the car is just ugly, and totally devalued.

I get the feeling a 1967 with a 2005 grill will feel the same way in 10yrs or so.

I think that looks a little better than a hot pink car.

I think that it is pretty ballin personally.... I wish mine looked that good.

man, i would love to find that vallance.

Where can I see more pics or info on this restomod?

What wheels are those?

Looks alot like the normal fiberglass valance with a little touch up to me.. Not much difference.. what does the rest of the car look like?

I hate to see people tear up a classic or a rare car. But it's your car and your money.

If you want a pink car it's your bussiness and no one eles's.

And this one looks awesome.

I didn't know this was 1 of the Pit Vipers. I saw Pit Viper #5 I think at Barrett Jackson in Palm Beach.

Yep I saw Pit Viper #5. Here is a pic of it. http://www.barrett-jackson.com/staging/carlist/items/Fullsize/Cars//63920/63920_Front_3-4.jpg

I like how the grille works, pretty attractive, but not a huge fan of the hood.

8 headlights is WAY overkill. It's a good thing then that this car only has 2 headlights.

The outboard lights are the traditional headlights.

The next set of lights are PIAA Fog lights that are controlled independantly of the headlights by a toggle type switch.

The large center lights are PIAA driving lights, again controlled independantly from the headlights. Some owners wire these driving lights into the high beam side of the headlights.

The small lights on the lower valance area are turn signal lights.

davesanborn... if your son ever wants to sell his car, please let me know the price. You both have amazing cars. And personally I like the billet grill better than the 05+.

In regards to the OP, this car is beautiful. Looks like a work of art to me. I think the grill works just fine, and the reality is that anyone who is in a position to drop over $200k on a car is not going to have trouble ponying up the dough to update or modify the grill down the road if it starts to look "dated".

I hope I have a car like that someday, even if it starts life as a dynacorn shell. :D
