1969 Ford Mustang Mach 40 Concept 5.4L Mid-Engine Build Project
Mustang Mach 40
Originally a 1969 Mach 1, the goal was to create a what-if mid-engine concept car. The idea: put a '69 Mach 1 and 2006 GT 40 super car together, incorporating the modern Ford technology into the body of a Mach 1.
The car was being built to be a one off, but also built to perform. The power train, a 5.4 liter dual overhead cam GT super car motor, was upgraded so it has a Wipple 4 liter super charge along with drive by wire throttle. In addition the motor was converted to a flex-fuel system.
The base horsepower can be dialed in, literally there is a dial control in the car, from 600 to 850 HP. It also has auto and manual traction control.
It was important to keep the body style a true-to-its-roots 1969 Mach 1, they did not want a modern looking car.

This video purpose is to tell world about amazing car build project and to inspire ever growing car builder community around the world. So if you're inspired in building your own car and want to learn more about how to do it in best way, don't hesitate and read build source page so you can learn something new and if something is not clear you can always ask builder some questions about the build.
im really happy there are people out there crazy enough to build things like this.
For the young and the old these projects help the young learn and the old to feel young again ! Nice job !
*Wow. One thing to have a great old muscle car. Another thing entirely to have one so unique no one else on planet earth has one.*
This is probably the only "mustang" in existence that I like. Some very talented people put this car together. Excellent, what more can I say.
It took me 2 days to watch this video cause i didn't want to miss NOTHING!!Awesome!!!
When you combine fine taste, talent and high skills, you can come up with a masterpiece like this! Great job!
Jesus the craftsmanship in this is just unbelievable!
That's one serious amount of talent right there... Artwork
I don't know why everyone keeps commenting on their opinion of the wheels. They are just an upscale version of 69 Mustang Mach 1 wheels. If it really bothers you guys this much, when you buy this car, which you won't be able too, its 20 lugs to change them to whatever you want. It's not the end of the world. This is the best built car I've ever seen shared, just amazing.
What a Joy to see such fabulous work. Amazing fabricating by true craftsmen who can do anything with metal. A beautiful Mustang like no other anywhere made by anyone. There aren't enough complimentary things to say. I'm stuck on Amazing. The best of the best is a good description of this master piece of engineering and fabrication. Wish it was mine. Just to look at it gives me pleasure.
I have watched this video 3 times and everytime I am literally amazed! I just dont have the words I guess, just stunned!!!!
The skill & time involved in that build,
Wow I mean just “WOW”. This thing looks like it’s built better quality than most half million dollar Exotic cars out there. Beautiful job guys.
They probably have more than a half million involved in this mid-engine mustang believe it.
You put more effort into that hood than i put in my whole life
I feel your pain
Like totally
Lol wow! Harsh!
The engineering and build quality have left me speechless... Thanks for the wonderful inside look at that masterpiece! Frank Parks in Summerville, Ga.
...why would anyone "thumbs down" this work of art!?
They are mustang purists
Maybe cause it had corvette wheels in the thumbnail ?
@@yaseenamin8056 ....Good Call.👍😉👍
Awesome build!
jealous?
Your vision is truly unparalleled.. Matched only by your incredible fabrication skills. You guys are so much fun to watch. Keep up the amazing work!
Thank You for this fun look at your amazing work. I understand all the work it took to create your master piece and it amazes me. TRUE craftsmanship is so rare. Great work man ! Looks Great. Please don't ever sell it. This creation should be owned by it's creator to admire forever.
I am not much of a stang guy but this one is a work of art. I can't get over how much the rear of the car looks like the Ford GT. Well done guys, beautiful car.
Creative people
Oh. My. God! This car is real?!? I saw it a year ago on Facebook and thought it was a rendering. Not a REAL CAR!!! Absolutely beautiful!!! Great job guys!!
Looks like a mustang and Ford GT40 mixed together. Looks solid. Ford is by far the best design in the modern era
Make it half electric and have badass . You guys are the best builders in the business. Shelby messed around with things . He was a dream maker that’s how ford took down the world with his concepts. You guys are the future
Great car
This might just be the most perfect thing I have ever seen in my life
How good you gotta be to build something like that! I mean how freakin good you gotta be!! job beyond well done!
Gorgeous! My favorite year of the Mustang. My first car was a 69 Mach1 with the 351W 4bbl. Love watching the build, the attention to detail, the craftsmanship, the concept, and of course the performance. Just wished you would have left the clock in the passenger dash pod because it's a defining feature of the Mach1. I know, I know, no one's stopping me from building my own... Man, that car is sexy!
This is a BEAUTIFUL machine. I’m disappointed in the boring color choice, but the car is absolutely amazing. The attention to detail is flawless!
Ford design executives are looking at this and facepalming saying, WE SHOULD HAVE DONE THIS! Bravo - well done!
Looks like a Cuda from back, Ferrari from side, GT40 on steroids up top. All I can say is "WHOA!" Outstanding!
Masterpiece of a lifetime. Unreal.
The amount of adverts I've just watched has payed for this entire build.
Astonishing skills guys , im totally blown away by your craftmanship. i used to be in crash repair so fully appreciate this video!
Good to see some blokes actually doing the job!
4yrs later and it looks better than ever.
I've read else that this was built on a Ford GT chassis.
I can see here it wasn't. A great build, well done. Great work.
Every time I see B is for Build's mid-engined Mustang and this Mustang I just can't help but laugh at the difference. 😆
This by far is the badest most kick ass build I have ever seen! WOW on steroids!! You guys rocked it!! Drive on!! What a f'n build!!!
I’m not a ford, or mustang guy by any means. This is AMAZING
To the blokes/bloke/blokettes who built this gorgeous car, your fabrication skills are second to none. Kudos to you for an excellent and absolutely exquisite piece of the car builders Art.This would be my all time favourite Ford inspired build.
This makes me rethink my love for Chevrolet....
Lol i can't blame you. This is probably the baddest mustang i've ever seen.
Took a classic pony car and made a unique futuristic supercar this is an extreme level of badass
Ford would be very smart to make a generous offer for the design rights on this
Fantastic engineering and fabrication work. There is nothing on this car I would change except for MY name on the title.
WHEN U BUILD A. FORD THE RIGHT WAY IT CAN BE AN EXOTIC KILLER...IF THIS CAN BE MADE BY FORD ,SHIT A MASTER PIECE THAT CAN PUT DEMON,LAMBO, & OTHERS TO REST!! .. THIS GIRL GOT A WHOLE NEW MOMMY MAKE OVER & THEN SOME! SHE WAS A OLD WOMAN WHO WAS TURNED INTO A YOUNG GIRL WITH BEAUTIFUL CURVES!
Love it! Like many of the others not to impressed by the wheels. The test wheels looked better. :)
They stayed with era wheels. perfect. just a matter of opinion.
This is LITERALLY the most Beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life! My wife is a Total Smoke Show but I'd rather be in THIS than her! I've never believed in love at First sight but this video single handedly Shattered that belief! I need MORE! Where is this car now? Who owns it? WHO BUILT IT? How much to buy it? How much to just Stare and Drool on it!? I NEED Answers!
All the fan and radiator mockups in foam very cool
Just opinion, but I love the wheels. I was not going to watch a 40 minute video of pictures, but I am glad I did.
Thanks for posting it.
When the mustang fan exceeds ford manufacturing.
I am sure the stories and lessons learned arr countless. The best part is to see the end as it looks very capable on the slalom course
HELLO MR. FERRARI--I HOPE THIS GIVES YOU NIGHTMARES !! IF ONLY FORD WOULD HIRE HIM ! CARROL WOULD BE SO PROUD !!!!
Thanks guys for maiking this beast for me i just enjoy it in gran turismo sport on my ps4!!!
Sin palabras para describir este trabajo lo único que puede decir es que es la obra de arte de la ingeniería más increíble que e visto 👍👍👍👍👍
Forget the Mona Lisa, this Mustang is real artwork! Simply beautiful!
*THUNDERPONY*
⚡⚡⚡🐎⚡⚡⚡
Best Mustang build i've ever seen
Beautiful car but really needs some color.
This is an absolutely incredible beautiful build, what an incredible display of skill and talent!
Might be auto p o r n right there. reminds me, (in a good way) of the Mid Engine Concept car Ford did in the 60's. Beautiful job Gents..
That is pure artistry in iron right there! That is a serious amount of body work went into that "Mach 40"! It really does look like a perfect blend of a Mach 1 Mustang and a GT40!
Looks amazing. Incredible craftmanship. I am just going to wipe up the drool, I may be a while.
For a 1969 fifty year old concept this car still looks stunningly modern and way ahead of it’s time! 👍
What amazing engineering and craftsmanship! Forget the haters. This is an incredible car.
Reminds me of a Foose build. I mean that in the most admirable way possible.
Wow Ford should make these. I really was hoping for a different color but still a beautiful piece of work. Good job!
Pure sheet metal artwork & much more!
This looks like what they were trying to do with the new mustang but failed. The nose of this car is sick.
Awsom build👍i like watching a build by sombody who knows what they are doing...just awsom
Beautiful workmanship!
I've watched vtuned and b is for build's videos but, this is definetly something else.. GJ
The engineering and craftsmanship that went into this build is to be commended; your workmanship is beyond reproach. It is a simply beautiful custom build and I bet anything that the owner was pleased beyond words.
Finally - ELEANOR has been one-upped!
What a great build ???!?!? One of a kind.
This car is soooo awesome, looks sweet, sounds mean, should handle well...............and then you see the TURRRIBLLLLLE interior and all the rest just gets watered down.
i see all these comments i don't like this or that or how it looks or the wheels look bad. That's fine if you don't like it go and build what you like and put it on CZcams . You should all be impressed with the build and skill it takes to make something like this .I will remember the tinfoil trick next time i'm marking a mold off a car that's been filled and built up .very nice job and well done guys
Martin....You took the words out of my mouth. The level of craftsmanship and detail, most folks would wish they had the ability to deliver, such a flowing masterpiece of perfection. She's Breath-Taking....dripping in silver no less!
It's just opinions. That's the whole idea of the comment section. There is no way I have the skill to build anything close to this car and It is without a doubt an amazing build. I love it! With that being said, I think the wheels look stupid and I don't like the color.
Dean Muse exactly
Love this, it's not just the amazing craftsmanship, but being able to imagine the concept and build it. I'd have kept the GT40 theme going on the wheels though, black 6 spoke with a silver spinner at the centre just like the originals. When I hit the lottery jackpot I'm getting one of these
Martin Hulse when something is put forth to the public then people have a right to comment on it always good or bad. hopefully intelligent comments of course. They don't have to build there own cars
All Star talented people, car building at it's finest
The Mach 40 was a bold concept, ..executed with precision. Masterfully done..
I found it wild that he had it sitting on C6Z wheels for a duration of the build lol
Looking like a Ford GT, probably not the best car to drive with this configuration, but an awesome project. Congrats!
What a machine!!!!! I love everything about, top to bottom, even the wheels!!!!!
I give a thumb down to all those who give a thumb down... unique mustang
This is like the aston Martin db10 of mustangs one of a kind so sick
Never realized how much I wanted one of these until now!
This is incredible. The body lines have the flow of a Ford GT and at first I didn't like the wheels but they grew on me. I loved watching this video.
A thing of beauty.
And the craftsmanship dedicated to building it, no words would be enough to describe it.
Well done my good sirs.
Ridiculous amount of effort. Maaaaaad skills. Every car guys dream. This dude is an artist.
This is sick .watched the video about 10 times amazing skills talant imagination incredible love it .
Tu; uma idekkj foi graças graças
Nice money and time saver with the shaped foam and foil to get an idea of what the finished panels will look like. Hell of a lot cheaper than clay modeling!
By putting that engine In the rear... you already won everything 🙌
That’s professional sheet metal work, great show car; not so much race car lol
So what should I make it to be: a mustang or a GT
How about both??? Lol
You guy absolutely killed it with this mustang, I love it
People should really shut up about the rims as well because these match the car perfectly
JUST CALL IT FERRARI KILLER , THAT WOULD BE SUFFICIENT !
The rims look like the come off a matchbox car. It doesn't fit the mustang at all.

I love the low, lean body of the original mustangs, and it looks like this one takes that to a whole new level. I guess when you don't need to cram a massive V8 in the front, you can go to that extreme even harder here, and it looks great.
Great look great craftsman ship this is more than just a car it's a piece of art .
awesome level of craftsmanship, but looks like a gt40 with a mustang front and rear
Frank Chapa I’m pretty sure that was the plan. 😁👍🏼
Ford originally designed the Mach series Mustangs after the GT40. A mid engined Mustang prototype was even made under the name Mach 2, though the idea was later scrapped.
Ya. I agree.
was thinking the same thing
its supposed to, hence the name.. MACH (gt)40
Most amazing Mustang EVER!!!
Nice, I miss my 428 Mach1 ram air...I dont miss watching the gas gauge go down when drag racing lol
One word "SUPERAWESOMEEXTRAORDINARYBOOMBASTIC"
very impressive metal work
the crossbar between the rearlights make it look like a dodge for some reason , the rest of the car looks awesome
Imagine the cabin noise with that engine behind you
pardon-i can't hear you.......
If Ford knew hownto build a mustang these days, this is how it should be done. Wish Ford built a car like this!
They could if they wanted to. The bigger question is who in the hell could afFORD one LOL!!
well, there's the GT, so.....
You have taken 2 of the most beautiful cars and made the most amazing peace of art ! Ford should look to you guys for design ideas. It is absolutely the most beautiful car I have ever seen.
a tour de force in engineering work and manufacturing work. But it reminds me of the Ford Pantera and the Ford GT 40, and in a sense is recreating something already achieved in the past.
they brought the car back the way it was presented back in the day, all factory looking parts, remember this was a concept car everything was factory from the scoops, front n rear to the console and wheels. concept means it was an idea just never made it to the production line
