Noted tuning company and custom car builder
SpeedKore, has just unveiled a bespoke 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 302 built for
Robert Downey Jr. at SEMA.
The hugely-successful actor commissioned SpeedKore
to create the heavily-modified Mustang and according to the company, was
involved heavily in the making of the muscle car. With a mixture of original
parts and modern-day technologies, it is something special.
The beating heart of the car is a Ford Performance
Aluminator 5.0-liter V8 with a Stage 2 Ford Performance/Roush supercharger. No
horsepower and torque figures have been quoted but we do know the engine is
mated to a Bowler T56 transmission that sends power to the pavement through a
Detroit Speed 9-inch rear differential.
Like other recent projects from SpeedKore, Downey
Jr’s Mustang has been adorned in lightweight carbon fiber body panels,
including the hood, bumpers, fenders, quarter extensions, and front and rear
spoilers. The exterior was then painted in PPG Khaki yellow.
In the cabin, Gabe’s Street Road Custom Interiors
worked its magic and fitted a pair of bucket seats, stunning dark brown
leather, a bespoke steering wheel, and a unique air conditioning system.
