How does a $120,000, 50-year-old Mustang with semi-modern internals sound?

http://blog.caranddriver.com/drive-like-its-1965-revologys-repro-ford-mustangs-have-us-salivating/

The Revology Mustang sits atop a modernized chassis with a new MacPherson strut front suspension and a three-link rear suspension, power rack-and-pinion steering, and vented disc brakes front and rear. Under the hood is a fuel-injected 302-cubic-inch Windsor V-8 with 265 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque, a 2008-ish vintage Ford engine that was chosen on account of its modernity—relative to the original Mustang, anyway—and ease of packaging in the existing engine bay. Not only does the car achieve 18 mpg (on premium unleaded), according to Revology, but the engine, transmission (five-speed manual or four-speed automatic), and 3.70:1 limited-slip rear differential are warranted for three years. A one-year bumper-to-bumper and five-year body-corrosion warranty also apply. And the car can easily be serviced at any Ford dealer. The body also features modern details such as LED head- and taillamps and LED parking and reverse lamps. The standard 15-inch wheels are fitted with Falken tires measuring 205/60 up front and 215/60 in back. Any original Ford paint color can be applied, says Revology. Oh, and don't look for an antenna—it's hidden. Inside, there's a power driver's seat, three-point safety belts, and a dashboard with modern, LED-lit gauges, including an integrated tachometer, digital message center, and even performance timers. Additional items found on the Revology Mustang that you'd never see on an original Stang include LED interior lighting, remote keyless entry, side-impact door beams, Bluetooth connectivity, and even available hidden AUX and USB ports. You knew a hand-built Mustang restomod wouldn't be cheap, and alas, the base retail price for the Revology Mustangs start at a rather dear $119,500 for the fastback and $122,000 for the convertible. Options include the GT appearance package ($1495), a premium audio system ($2495), a 3.89 rear diff ($395), and a 4.11 rear diff ($495).

NICE.  However like other typical muscle car fans, I would have to settle for a semi-rotted Craigslist car at a fraction of the price, and my mouse at the ready to order parts from Year One and Hotchkis...

I love the execution of it. I'm not a huge Mustang guy but I love what they've done.

I'd be all over one if I had the cash and boring taste in automobiles.

If I had the cash, I would get the fastback,,,,,basically it's almost what the guys are doing with the "resto-mod" cars

wonder if they are gonna do a Charger next?

Well there's definitely passion for the 2nd 'Gen, but I don't think it's "common" enough of a car in the classic world to warrant being available like those ground-up Camaro's and Mustang's.  I reckon we'd see a ground-up Chevelle before we ever see anything Mopar-ish...

How credible is your press release that announces a "new" 64 1/2 Mustang when the photo car has a '66 grille?     :smilielol:

I hope not. Part of what makes our MOPARs so desireable and cool is that they are relatively unique and rare. Granted, the likely high price tag of the repro means that not everybody and their uncle is going to own one. But it may get to the point where, like a Cobra, whenever you see one you're already 95% sure its a replica/kit car.

there are already way too many Mustangs and Camaros that everyone and their uncle does own one, so these repros don't affect the car's rep too much anyway.
