BangShift.com has learned of and acquired renderings of a new specialty Mustang to be offered by Ford Racing which has been deemed by company officials as the “Retro-Jet”. Featuring a stack injected version of the 5.0L Coyote engine, front mounted Moon fuel cell, solid front axle with leaf springs, no front brakes, fender well headers, lexan windows, a 9-inch Ford rear end, and a Top Loader four speed, the machine should really appeal to the nostalgic drag racing fans out there. The car was going to stay under wraps for months but as we have learned, Ford officials were moved to action by the recent revelation by GM that they would sell COPO Camaro rolling chassis for a short time.

An unnamed source at Ford was quoted by BangShift contributor I.P Daly as saying, “When the Chevy guys made a big deal out of the LAMO…I mean COPO rolling chassis thing we were all like, ‘Bitch please’ and that’s when we decided to leak the existence of this car out.” When asked how the company could get away with selling a straight axle car with no front brakes another Ford Racing employee said, “Meh…the back brakes are pretty big so we should be good. The leaf spring deal was a no brainer. The guys on the truck side are making so much money with the pickups that we just paid a couple workers on the production line to swipe every third set of rear springs and leave them on a loading dock. Boom! We’ve got free front suspension. Granted we have no idea what springs we’re getting so basically some cars may get F-150 springs, some F-250, and a few high riding mothers will have F-350 springs up front. Those should sure drive great” The Moon tank, which appears to be mounted ahead of the front bumper and protected only by the Holy Spirit has been a point of contention among the engineering staff. “So the safety guy starts having a fit when he sees the rendering (shown below) with the tank out there in front of the car. When he wouldn’t shut up about it we yanked his underwear over his head, shoved him in a locker, and have not checked on his condition in several days. There’s a smell coming from that area now…”

No word on cost as of yet, but since Cobra Jets sell for a shade over $70,000 these Mustangs should come in below that. When asked how many were planned for the production run the unnamed Ford Racing employee said, “That depends on our ummmm….spring supply. Assuming the plan holds up, we’ll sell as many as we can before the upper brass learns about the project and fires us all.”
