BUILD IN PROGRESS

ETA: SEMA 2023, October 31st

1967

Mustang

Serial number: 002

Overview: Ruffian's second build takes everything Chris learned from six years of building and owning the 1970 OG Mustang and lovingly pours it into this 1967 Fastback.

Personality: A love letter to the Shelby Cobra - it's light, it's simple and it's vintage but it oozes with style. The goal is to put a big dumb smile on the driver's face. It's a car built to be fun first, and we think that makes it the coolest mustang around.
