This ’67 Ford Mustang built by Josh Gosnell made a bright-red splash as one of the Top 10 hot rods in the SEMA Battle of the Builders Competition at the 2021 SEMA Show.
A modern 5.0L Coyote engine fitted with a blower sits in a properly tucked and shaved engine bay. JC Customs valve covers and Hose Candy sleeves are the finishing accoutrements beneath the hood. A six-speed manual transmission lets the driver row through the 700 horses at their disposal.
The entire front end is hand-built for a modern feel and the front and rear bumpers have been deleted. Some chrome remains with the Ringbrothers billet door handles, billet mirrors and a few appointments in the cabin. Behind the Billet Specialties half-wrapped steering wheel are Dakota Digital gauges, which are snugly fit into the custom dash.
