These veteran SEMA builders know how to build a muscle car.

Restomodding is huge in the aftermarket scene, and few do it better than Ringbrothers. This Wisconsin-based shop is known for creating some of the coolest resto-mod creations around, and we've covered a ton of Ringbrothers builds including its Hellcat-powered Charger. And who can forget that amazing Chevy K5 Blazer? Ringbrothers is well-known for working on Ford Mustangs, new and old, and this 1965 Mustang Fastback is the perfect example of what this shop can do when the owner has deep pockets.

Clearly inspired by Eleanor from Gone in 60 Seconds, this 1965 Fastback was built by Ringbrothers between 2004 and 2005 and is now for sale on Bring A Trailer. The car changed hands a few times in the last couple of years and was eventually returned to Ringbrothers in 2018. This Mustang's spec sheet is as impressive as it looks: the exterior features a custom gray metallic paint job that was completed in 2019, and a carbon fiber roof. The carbon fiber hood gets a few scoops and that iconic grille surround is matched up with some custom sail-panel pieces. From LED turn signal bezels to sail-panel fuel caps and a custom rear spoiler, there's tons of attention that went into this 'Stang. The car rolls on a set of Multi-piece Ringbrothers Forgeline wheels that hide a set of Baer calipers paired with 13" slotted and cross-drilled rotors. Everything is held together by an Integra coilover suspension system.

The interior features leather-trimmed Recaro bucket seats, Ringbrothers billet interior accents, a Vintage Air front runner air-conditioning system, and a Kenwood sound system with Apple CarPlay, navigation, six speakers, two 12-inch subwoofers, and an amplifier. The Stewart-Warner instrumentation shows off a 160 mph speedo and an 8k rpm tachometer. Possibly the tackiest aspect of this build is the NRG steering wheel, which was added by the previous owner.

Under the hood, this Mustang packs a 408 cubic-inch Ford Windsor V8 engine with aluminum cylinder heads, an Edelbrock intake manifold, and a Holley 800-cfm double-pumper carburetor. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a Tremec TKO-600 five-speed manual transmission and a 3.55:1 rear end. The car has covered less than 5,000 miles since it was first built, and the current bid is sitting at $100,000 with bidding ending in two days. Make your move.
