We all loved building this one. Goal was to integrate all of the engineering prowess developed for the ICON BR, but to finish it much closer to stock. An “Old School” styled build, if you will. So while we took many liberties with the design details, all was done with a more retro feel than the ICON BR approach. All finished to concours quality standards. Now the client has the best of both worlds, classic styling, and modern performance. Timeless utility too! • 2015 Mustang GT 5.0 Coyote fuel injected V8 • Aisin Warner AX15 five speed transmission • Atlas II transfer case • Dynatrac Dana based axles (44 front, 60 rear) • Stop Tech four wheel Sport Brakes, power assist • Custom two tone gloss body colors • Retro vinyl and houndstooth cloth interior • Removable matts over Polyurea coated floors • Subtle yet effective LED interior lights • Modern A/C, subtle vents • Modern audio integrated into ash tray • Custom Old School CNC'ed wheels and hub caps • Fox racing coil-over suspension with Eibach colis • Front and rear sway bars • Custom MIL Spec wiring harness
The front seats are not "correct", but they match the era of design and improve safety and comfort. Actually, they are GM car seats, that we then restored and recovered in this cool blue & black houndstooth and matched blue vinyl. Carpet is removable.
Again, we broke the rules and fit a non-stock rear seat. Three-point seat belts were a must. We then modified the seat so that the head rests matched the altered front seats.... Cargo panels trimmed in the stock design, using our materials, integrating LED interior lights, speakers and bass.
The stock stereo was restored and modified so that the original volume knob controls the modern audio systems volume. It even lights up as if it worked. If I told you what the other knob did, I would have to kill you....
We designed these wheels to appear like the old steel 15" wheels, but now they are CNC'ed here in Caifornia in 6061 aluminum, 18" to clear our modern axles and brakes. Reproduction vintage Ford hub caps complete the look.
We enjoyed this build so much that once we catch up with existing ICON BR orders, we are considering making a new style package called "Old School", based on this design.
