Old cars are like books. They all come with a story – some more interesting than others. But every once in a while you stumble across something that really makes you utter a simple, yet very honest, ‘wow!’ This 66 Fastback Mustang was such a car, but it took me a while to actually get to the point of realising just how special it was.

After many visits to Mustang Auto Parts and hundreds of work hours, Justin completed his dream fastback. This beast is a perfect representation of American Muscle paired with Australian Engineering – I had to ask Justin if we could take it out for a drive and line it up for a shoot.
Here are some words from Justin!
“I found the fastback at a swap meet. It wasn’t pretty, but I thought to myself, this is the only chance I have of owning one.
After a complete rotisserie build, here we are.
I remember being in a mate's tuff XP wagon and racing a Cortina at power cruise. I said what’s in that thing he said a barra, and from then on I wanted one. I was looking for a cortina when I found the mustang I thought why not do the Barra? Cheaper than a v8 and has been there and never had a big turbo. “
We are incredibly impressed with this masterpiece and look forward to seeing it hook up at future drag events!
