We look forward to the day when 2011 and up Mustang GT's litter our scrap yards like Fox body Mustangs do today. It'd be nice to see these motors be more affordable and used in more swaps. We won't call this car a swap, but we love the application of a new 5.0 in a an old roadster body. Check out the auction to see pics of the glorious chassis and all the amazing suspension work the Factory 5 puts into their cars. We've got a thing for cantilevered/pushrod suspension in unexpected places. This car should be an absolute screamer on the street and track. We'd daily this roadster in a heart beat. That's not to say this car doesn't need some tlc at the moment. Judging from the pics, the frame hasn't been powder coated or painted yet and it looks like the body hasn't been sealed either. We're curious to see what this car goes for in it's current condition. Find it here, in Gainesville, FL, with current bidding at $24,100 reserve-not-met and 2 days remaining.

We've got two very different approaches to chopped top roadsters from the opposite coasts of the US. From the East Coast comes a '52 Chevy with miles of welding and metal work and from the West Coast comes a '64 Ford Galaxy that has been tastefully cleaned up. We love how wild the Chevy looks and can imagine the massive amount of attention it would draw when finished. We also love how sleek the '64 Galaxy is with it's clean and simple lines. They're both spectacular vintage spaceships ready for that dream cruise down the coast! Find all of the info for each car in the links below.

We've spent a lot of time praising South Pasadena for having high high quality and impossibly rare cars such as the 300SL Gullwing, and a trio of orignal Shelby Cobra Roadster, but the quality of custom cars is really what blew our minds.
