Maybellene GT690 GW Fastback Mustang
Few things are cooler than a Classic Mustang updated with new technology. While many car collectors prefer to restore their work with stock parts and go after an original look, some die hard car guys prefer the ‘restomod’ approach. Gene Winfield and Leonard Compton of Maybellene Autosports fit into the latter category.
Starting with (your choice) a 65 - 68 Mustang, modern technology and new design are crafted into this muscle car of yesterday. The Maybellene GT690, as they’ve dubbed it (originally known as the Anaconda Project), is comprised of state of the art 2006-2007 Ford Racing component technology wrapped around a classic body.
Virtually everything functional on this car has been updated to be modern and comfortable enough for a daily driver. From the custom high-back leather seats in the high tech interior to the coilover suspension… this is no trailer queen - rather a purpose built series aimed at enthusiasts of the Mustangs that started the craze.
The foundation is based on a powertrain similar to the GT500, a 5.4L DOHC 4v engine fitted with a roots style blower. I don’t know if you’ve ever tried to fit anything bigger than an old small block in a classic Mustang, just take our word for it that it took much of Compton’s 44 years experience and Winfield’s two Monster Garage appearances to shoehorn it betweeen what used to be the shock towers. Read on for more pictures and some of the highlights of the Maybellene Mustang.

Gotta say that looks nice and needless to say I can imagine one with 690 horses being quite a fright to drive.
