A classic 1960s Ford Mustang has been fully electrified to bring the historic model into the 21st century.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Successful motorsport engineers at Alan Mann Racing (AMR) have fully restored the iconic model with a new electric car powertrain and modern chassis.<\/p>\n

From the outside, the glistening orange model looks like a Mustang which rolled off the production line 60 years ago.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, the new powertrain gives the car a new lease of life and rubber stamps its place on the road for many years to come.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Henry Mann, son of founder Alan Mann, and director of AMR explained: \u201cWe have been watching the incredible growth of so-called resto-mods with interest.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve seen cherished cars that owners want to improve, and we\u2019ve seen those that owners want to future-proof, and we believe our new 1960s Mustang Coupe meets both needs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis particular model played a large part in the history of our company and is close to our hearts. It was the first racing Mustang to achieve international success for Ford, and, back in 1964, it was all prepared in-house by my father\u2019s operation.\u201d<\/p>\n

The base car can be sourced by AMR or provided by the owner and sent in for upgrade works.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Experts will then carefully remove the internal combustion powertrain while the remaining mechanics and bodywork may also be stripped.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The whole vehicle is then rebuilt around a new state-of-the-art compact electric motor and a modern racing-standard chassis.\u00a0<\/p>\n
