The first-generation Ford Mustang has long been an iconic car, but even among thousands of restomods and show cars, this particular example stands out. A unique 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback, built by the Mustang Brothers workshop, will be auctioned by Mecum in Glendale in March 2026 and is already attracting collector interest.At first glance, it appears to be a meticulously crafted restomod, but its main feature is a panoramic roof with a patent application pending. This allows passengers to enjoy the sky view and comes with a removable Thunderbird Sports Roadster-style tonneau cover to shield the rear cabin from the sun. The structure is reinforced with internal dampers to maintain body rigidity.Externally, the Mustang is painted in signature Brittney Blue Metallic with Wimbledon White stripes and fitted with custom Forgeline wheels on Nitto Invo tires. The interior is equally impressive: a right-hand-drive layout using Australian components, custom seats, digital gauges, Bluetooth, power windows, and a custom audio system.Under the hood lies a 5.4-liter supercharged V8 from the S197-generation Shelby GT500, paired with a six-speed Tremec TR6060 manual transmission. The suspension has been completely reworked, with frame stiffeners, adjustable dampers, a rear Watts link setup, and a 9-inch Big Dog differential. A Wilwood braking system with six-piston calipers underscores the project's serious nature.This Mustang has already appeared at SEMA 2024, been featured in specialist magazines, and collected several awards. Now, the car is ready for a new owner and, given its execution level, is poised to be one of the auction's most talked-about lots. Projects like this prove that a classic Mustang can be more than just a nostalgia piece—it can become a true art object where engineering and design push far beyond the original.
