This 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Fastback sounds as mean as it looks.
Built by 47 Garage, this Gulfstream Aqua fastback packs a 428 Cobra Jet V8 wears top-end Edelbrock parts and an MSD ignition, with side-exit Trans-Am pipes and a Momo wheel for a vintage race-car feel. Bilstein coilovers on a race-ready suspension and a Ford 9-inch rear (with gold wheels on BFGoodrich tires) keep big-block muscle planted—it all came together beautifully to complete a car to marvel over.

A 2006 Volkswagen Touareg V8 that has absolutely no business being this capable.
Morgan from @blackforesttechnik rigged this ride with @eurowiseoffroad 3" lift, rock sliders, spare tire carrier, roof rack, rear bumper cut, and a full chrome delete. Inside, ESAPI ballistic plate seat backs and a @blackforestindustries knob keep things intentional. @rotiform STLs wrapped in 35" @ironman_tires MTs do the rest.
Gets 5mpg, four wheel drive, center locked and ready to party all while sounding like a Cup car. We wouldn't have it any other way.
