Ford Mustang Stealth Mods - 20 Stealth Mustang Mods

Some call it restification. Others call it restomod. Anyway you look at it, it is the fine art of keeping with a Mustang's original lines while making it safer, faster, and more fun to drive. Twenty years ago, the focus was on restoring a stock, original museum piece you could drive on and off the trailer, occasionally driving it to keep the oil circulated. When Wall Streeters and the faint-of-heart abandoned the classic-car market in the early '90s during the Gulf War era, thoughts and values turned more toward having real fun with these cars. Used trailer sales skyrocketed. So did the sale of used biased-ply reproduction tires and stock exhaust manifolds. The '90s made us feel comfortable with driving (and modifying!) our Mustangs again.

So what to do with a retired trailer queen? How do you turn around a stiff, stodgy concours trophy winner and make it a fun-to-drive automobile? You stick your toe in the water with stealthy modifications no one knows are there but you. Stealth mods make a Mustang fun to drive without wrecking its classic lines.
