Lot #1039 - Built as a collaboration between Barrett-Jackson Builds and Fender Custom Shop, this 1969 Ford Mustang Resto-Mod was designed and built completely in-house at Barrett-Jackson and marks the first time a Barrett-Jackson Builds vehicle will be offered at auction. The Mustang is accompanied by a matching 1969 Fender Stratocaster designed by Fender's Custom Shop director and Principal Master Builder Ron Thorn. The Mustang is powered by a BluePrint engines 347ci V8. The stroked Ford small-block produces a dyno-proven 419hp and 436 ft/lbs of torque. The V8 is fed via a FiTech Fuel Injection system. Speedway Motors provided a set of custom headers and a full exhaust system, and power is handled by rebuilt automatic transmission that sends drive to a 9-inch posi-traction rear end with 3.50 gears. The Mustang grips the tarmac thanks to a set of Continental Extreme Contact Sport tires wrapped around a set of custom painted 18-inch Rocket Attack Series wheels. Bringing things to a halt is a set of Wilwood 12-inch-diameter vented brake rotors and 6-piston Dynapro calipers. The ample stopping power is backed up by a Wilwood Compact Tandem master cylinder. For the ultimate in handling and performance, the Mustang uses a RideTech bolt-in 4-link rear suspension, HQ series coilovers and steering kit. Every panel was sanded and polished to the bare sheet metal and painted in gloss black with a contrasting matte hood and trunk. The hood sports a custom Boss 429-inspired scoop, and Billet Badges created special Fender badging and lettering. Some of the world's best automotive performance brands contributed to bringing this Resto-Mod Mustang to life, including Eddie Motorsports taillights and hood hinges, an Old Air Products climate-control system, Steele Rubber Products weatherstripping, Vibro Solutions sound-deadening, Airaid/K&N Engineering intake and air filter, Classic Instruments gauges, Kicker Audio speakers and a trunk-mounted Fender Deluxe amplifier. **BECAUSE OF MARKETING COMMITMENTS RELATING TO THIS BARRETT-JACKSON BUILDS PROJECT, THE NEW OWNER WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE POSSESSION OF THIS CAR ON JUNE 1, 2021** **RELIABLE CARRIERS WILL SHIP ANYWHERE IN THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES FOR THE WINNING BIDDER**
