The 1969 Ford
Mustang Mach 1 is an iconic muscle car and Ringbrothers has used one as the
basis for their latest build. Named UNKL, the one-off model has a widened body
which is one inch (25 mm) longer on each side. This is a subtle change, but
Ringbrothers says it gives the car a more aggressive stance without
compromising the classic looks.
Besides being
wider, the car has been outfitted with modified bumpers, billet components and
a front splitter. The model also features a custom paint job and a “mixture of
carbon fiber and steel panels” that have been carefully reshaped. Last but not
least, there are 19- and 20-inch HRE wheels that are wrapped in Michelin Pilot
Sport 4S tires.
The unique styling
continues in the cabin as the car has a custom interior with Recaro seats, a
Momo steering wheel and Classic Instruments gauges. Drivers will also find
billet switchgear and an infotainment system.
Under the hood,
there’s a massive 8.5-liter V8 engine from Jon Kaase Boss. It’s naturally
aspirated and produces 700 hp.
The engine is
connected to a six-speed manual transmission that sends power to the rear
wheels via a carbon fiber driveshaft. Other highlights include a Flowmaster
stainless steel exhaust and an Aluma-Frame front suspension from Detroit Speed
Engineering. The model also has a QUADRALink rear suspension with RideTech
shocks as well as special front and rear sway bars.
