In this episode of Wheeler Dealers, the team takes on a classic American muscle car: the Ford Mustang Fastback. The Fastback was introduced in 1965 and quickly became an icon of the muscle car era with its sleek and powerful design. However, finding one in good condition is not always easy, and this particular Mustang is in need of some serious love.
Mike and Ant head to a farm in Wisconsin where they meet up with the owner of the Fastback, John. John has owned the car for over 20 years and has done some work on it himself but admits that he doesn't have the knowledge or skills to take it to the next level. He's hoping that Mike and Ant will be able to work their magic and turn it into the classic car of his dreams.
The guys start by assessing the car and quickly realize that it's going to need a lot of work. The body is in rough shape with rust and damage throughout, and the interior is worn and outdated. The engine has some issues as well, and Mike and Ant have their work cut out for them.
They begin by stripping the car down to its bare frame and start working on the body. They replace some of the damaged panels and spend hours sanding and smoothing out the rough spots. The car is then given a fresh coat of paint in its original color, which really brings out the classic lines of the Fastback.
Next up is the interior, which is completely gutted and replaced with new seats, carpet, and door panels. The guys also install a new sound system so that John can really enjoy his classic car experience.
Under the hood, the engine is completely rebuilt with new parts and tuned to perfection. Mike and Ant also add some performance upgrades to give the Fastback even more power, which is sure to make John smile when he takes it out for a spin.
The final result is a stunning Mustang Fastback that looks and performs like it just rolled off the factory floor. John is thrilled with the car and can't wait to take it out on the open road. Mike and Ant are happy to have brought another classic car back to life, and viewers are sure to enjoy the journey as well.
Overall, this episode is a great example of the dedication and expertise of the Wheeler Dealers team. They take on a challenging project and turn it into a true classic car masterpiece. Fans of classic American muscle cars are sure to love this episode, which showcases one of the most iconic cars of the era.
