Tokyo Drift Mustang For Sale

I’m sure most of you recall the bastard vintage Mustang in the latest Fast and Furious film, Tokyo Drift.

I’m sure most of you recall the bastard vintage Mustang in the latest Fast and Furious film, Tokyo Drift. To make a quick summary of the car, the plot went as follows: A rebellious gear head teenager gets shipped to Japan as an army child due to causing so much trouble in America. He goes to Japan and battles the drifters in one of the drifter’s cars. He bashed that car up and in turn, owes a gang who’s uncle is in the Japanese mafia – the Yakuza. A bunch of things happen and he needs a car to race. All thats left is an RB26dett powered Nissan S15 (240sx) that he had wrecked earlier in the movie. Luckily, his jarhead dad owns a 67 Mustang shell in Japan and keeps it in his 5x5ft garage to restore. Son takes Mustang, puts in Skyline GT-R motor, and does work.

Anyways, this was more controversial than our LSX powered new Mustang. The vintage and domestic car enthusiasts spitted at the fact that a vintage Mustang’s heart was ripped out and replaced with a Japanese motor. The Japanese guys were complexed by why such a godly motor was put in to something so unworthy. I can see both sides as I’m a fan of both.

Anyways, one of the actual movie cars is for sale. The Volo Auto Museum is selling one of the actual movie cars.
