Okay, buckle up gearheads, because Trick Rides just dropped the mic on the restomod world with their 'Scorched' 1969 Ford Mustang, and honestly? My inner car nerd is doing backflips. 🤯 This ain't your grandpa's pony car, folks. It's like they took a time machine, scooped up the pure essence of '69 Detroit muscle, blasted it straight into 2025, and wrapped the whole glorious thing in aerospace-grade carbon fiber. Only 20 lucky souls will ever get to park this masterpiece in their garage, and after seeing it, I kinda wanna cry knowing I'm probably not one of them. Credit where credit's due – Trick Rides has pulled off the impossible: making heritage feel shockingly futuristic.

The Shell: Where Heritage Meets Hyper-Modern

First things first: it screams Mustang. That iconic silhouette? Pure '69 magic. But get up close, and whoa Nelly, the details blow your mind. Trick Rides didn't just slap on some carbon bits; they built the first-ever carbon fiber widebody 1969 Mustang. Every single exterior panel? Handcrafted pre-preg carbon fiber, left gloriously raw. No paint hiding that intricate weave pattern – it's like wearing the car's skeleton on the outside, and it's stunning. They didn't just eyeball this beauty either. Oh no. We're talking precision 3D scanning, obsessive CAD modeling, and actual wind tunnel testing. This isn't just a pretty face; it's got genuine aerodynamic chops whispering sweet nothings to the wind. Talk about overkill in the best possible way!

The Devil (and the Angel) is in the Details

This is where Scorched moves from "cool build" to "unicorn territory." Trick Rides sweated the small stuff like their reputation depended on it (and honestly, with this, it kinda does):

• Flush-Mounted Glass: Sleek, seamless, like it's part of the carbon skin.

• Ringbrothers Billet Hardware: Because even the bolts deserve to be jewelry. ✨

• LED Taillights & Carbon Bumpers: Modern illumination meets raw carbon aggression, perfectly matched front to back.

• Seamless Fascias: No awkward gaps here; everything flows into the carbon bodywork like it was grown, not bolted on. This pony ain't horsin' around – it's dead serious about looking cohesive.

Cockpit Couture: Luxe Meets Legacy

Think they phoned in the interior? Think again! Stepping inside Scorched is like entering a time capsule that got a serious luxury spa treatment. Trick Rides lavished as much love on the cabin as the carbon shell:

• High-Back Bucket Seats: Ready to hug you through the corners.

• German Square-Weave Carpets: Because your feet deserve the good stuff.

• Custom Door Panels & Center Console: Tailored perfection, no off-the-shelf junk.

• Alcantara Headliner: That suede-like goodness dripping from above.

It’s a masterclass in blending old-school muscle car vibes with modern, high-end luxury. Feels... finished. Like, properly, meticulously done. No half measures here.

The Thunder Beneath: Pure, Unadulterated Muscle

Alright, enough ogling the looks. What about the go? Scorched doesn't just talk the talk; it roars the roar. Trick Rides gives buyers a deliciously tough choice – three iconic Ford powerplants, each a beast in its own right:

1. VMP-Supercharged 5.0L Coyote V8: Modern muscle, forced-air fury.

2. Jon Kaase 429ci Boss Nine: Old-school cubic inches, big-block attitude. 🤘

3. Ford Performance 427 V8: The legendary side-oiler, reborn.

And here’s the glorious kicker: No flappy paddles! Every single Scorched is paired exclusively with a Tremec T56 six-speed manual transmission. Pure, unadulterated, driver-focused analog goodness. Thank you! 🙌 To ensure the soundtrack matches the spectacle, Stainless Works headers and MagnaFlow mufflers handle the exhaust notes. Trust me, it’ll bark loud enough to wake the neighbors... and probably the next county over.

Chassis Chops: Corner Carving Cred

All that power needs a chassis that can handle it. Scorched sits on a foundation built by the wizards at Roadster Shop:

This ain't just a straight-line hero. With that suspension, massive grip from the Contis, and brakes that could probably stop a small moon, Scorched is built to carve canyons with terrifying competence. It’s a proper driver’s machine.

The Ultimate Flex: Exclusivity Has a Price (A Big One)

So, how much for this slice of carbon-fiber heaven? Trick Rides is keeping it ultra-exclusive with only 20 examples ever to be built. The price tag? A cool $429,000 each. Yeah, you read that right. That's bona fide supercar money. But let's be real – what supercar offers this blend of raw American muscle heritage, cutting-edge carbon construction, manual-only purity, and sheer, head-turning presence? Exactly. Scorched is in a league of its own. If you gotta ask, you probably... well, you know. The very first one is set to blow minds at the 2025 SEMA Show in Las Vegas this November. Mark your calendars, folks. This is history rolling onto the stage. Trick Rides didn't just build a car; they built a legend. My hat's off. Seriously. 👏
