Legendary, award-winning builder, Troy Trepanier, and his shop "Rad Rides by Troy", in Manteno, IL were commissioned to take on the eBay Motors FastForward Fastback project.

so they bought this 1967mustang and started striping the car apart to transfom it into this:spaz:

The idea was to take the much-loved Mustang Fastback and update its style with body, paint and interior mods as well as to completely rethink the power and road-holding capabilities of this soon to be modern classic. Troy and his band of merry, muscle car madmen were more than up to the task.

How much did Troy pay for this Fastback? Well, Troy was playing with other people’s money so he was fairly aggressive in his bidding, but at $10,100 for this clean driver with a rebuilt, non-numbers 302, we’d say he got a pretty good deal on a pretty nice car.

Troy: We like to stagger the sizes a bit front to rear, make them bigger in the rear... 18's or 19's in the front, and 20's in the rear, for example. We try to get the rim as close to the wheel lip at ride height. On the eBay Motors FastForward Fastback Mustang, it will be nice to get the rim right at the wheel lip. It's all stance and tire fitment.
