The site said: MacPherson strut front suspension ensures full tire to road contact and increased stability
Whait, whut?

Works fine on my 330ci...
, I can think of better cars to spend $114k on.

And well enough on my E46 also... BUT I wouldn't single out "full tire to road contact" as the primary benefit of a McPherson strut.
114k and you dont even get a twin turbo coyote? Lame..that said im sure they will sell to rich housewives in cali-for-nia

1964-66 Mustang owners would.
So... it's like Singer for Mustangs?

The primary benefit is low build costs and space requirements, which are hardly relevant to the car's owner
He could say "MacPherson strut front suspension ensures better handling than a solid axle or swingarm would offer"

This!!! Its going to drive alot better than the original.
I'm somewhat digging it.....but I'd rather build one myself with an I6 from germany or japan in it.
yeah, cool is all i can say. I would rather build my own as well vs 120k.
Price is laughable when a nice original is much less, and will be worth more in the long run.

Seems that way. Considering the super wealthy are lining up to buy Singer 911's (they can't keep up with orders) and ICON Landcruisers for 4x the money, I'm thinking they have a good idea. The question is if they can build it right and manage operations well.
If you were to buy one of those reproduction Mustang body shells and take it to your local shop to have them build a restomod, after they sourced or fabricated all the rest of the parts, bolted it together and painted it, chances are it would end up costing $114k anyway. Of course you could buy a mint original for a lot less than that, but that's not the point.

You haven't seen the camber curve on a 60's Ford, have you? It seems that the intent was to prevent any accidental tire contact with the ground.

This, its a new production shell with a bunch of modern alterations in the name of safety/drivability/livability built by a shop that offers a warranty.
The thing that gets me is the engine.
Based on the spec, it's just a pushrod 5.0. Not that it's a bad engine, but there are better choices for this kind of coin.
There are four 5.0 aluminum engines that you can get in a crate, from $7400 up to $16,500.
And they would be very appropriate.
But that's just me. Once the baby boomer pass, the market for this kind of car will go away.
I think the price is unreasonable, not because it didn't take that much to build it, but because it's still a basic mustang. I agree with Alpha that the engine is fairly unspectacular based on the price as well. But there is a company that is re-making Jag E-types and selling them for around $1m, so you have that.
Still, most replicas cost less than the originals. While they may be on to something here in that it was an immensely popular car when new, I personally don't think so. I have a basic Mustang fastback, and while the special versions like the K-codes, Shelby's and the like have gone up a lot in value, the values of the basic mustangs have remained pretty flat for a long time. I've owned mine for over 15 years, paid a little more than it was worth at the time to get the car I wanted, but might break even on it if I sold it now (and it's a LOT nicer now than it was then). And mine has the original paint and is a very honest car. I'm just not convinced there is a big market for a $100k+ Mustang with an aftermarket suspension and a basic 5.0 engine.
serious crackpipe. Why
If they could sell it for $60000 or maybe $70000 there might be a market. I suspect they went with the SBF because they wanted it to "sound right", but for over $100k, I'd want something more exciting under the hood.
Too much for a car that is 30-35k in the current market. I know they are trying to market it to the more money than sense crowd but there is nothing I even see in the build that is special. Yeah they reworked some things, yeah its EFI, but a singer is crazy good drive based on a car that is 130k for a #2 car. I mean this is gt350 money. This doesn't have the rarity that a gt350 offers.
I don't see
Its just the latest in "ultimate" versions of classics. There are versions of classic Astons, E-types, Porsches, etc etc etc.
Move along folks... Nothing to see here

Are they Windsor all aluminum engines? Because "way" is spelled W-A-Y. There is no F in Way that a Coyote or any other DOHC V8 is going to fit in a '64-66 without losing the shock (now strut) towers. A 289/302 barely fits in there and a 351W is a negative-clearance shoehorn fit.

I have to laugh at this, but at the same time I totally understand.
Can you get one with an LS3?
