It's not difficult to get a hold of a Ford Mustang GT. The 2018 model has an impressive 460 hp, hits 60 mph in 4.4 seconds, and includes an optional magnetic suspension for less than $45,000. By all means, it's a worthwhile vehicle. But what it doesn't have is that classic feel of a vintage Mustang.

Thanks to Classic Recreations, you're able to drive a vintage Shelby Mustang. Their products are more than just a cleanup, however. The tuner has a modern car underneath its classic body. Now CR has been given the green light to start restoring the 1969-1970 Boss 302, the 1969-1970 Boss 429, and the 1969-1970 Mach 1. CR owner Jason Engel said the following in a statement.

“We chose to offer these new models because we wanted to expand our Ford offerings beyond just Shelbys. The Boss 429 is one of the coolest and rarest Mustangs ever produced, but they have gotten so valuable that most owners won’t drive them. This offers people the chance to own an incredibly rare car that they can actually drive, and with modern chassis and engine tech these cars will actually be faster and easier to drive than the original.”


You'll have your choice between a '69 or a '70 Mustang body. Alternatively, you can order a new, Ford-licensed body instead. Classic Recreations then gives it a custom engine, with modern software and amenities. The Boss 429 will only be available with a 429 cubic-inch engine, but the Boss 302 can be ordered with either a Coyote V-8 crate engine or a 363 cubic-inch stroker engine that’s built using a 302 block. The Mach 1, on the other hand, comes with any engine CR currently offers, including Ford’s 2.0-liter EcoBoost unit.

Given the level of effort put toward these vehicles, they're going to cost you a fair bit more. Classic Recreations hasn’t released pricing on the latest additions to its lineup, but its GT350CR starts just under $170,000, with plenty of room to rise. Expect the others to be similar.
