- You've probably figured it out by now that we're massive fans of Chris Ashton and his Ruffian Cars team. This might be my favorite build they've done to date. So many amazing details and that naturally aspirated Shelby crate engine with the Weber carburetors is intoxicating to drive so sit back and enjoy the ride...

The smaller wheel diameter with vintage race tires makes a huge statement. Chris sure has an eye for aesthetics: line, color, texture, depth, contrast. Very well done.
Qqhieievejdjkjjjjjjjjjjjj la mañana y no tengo ni un eu te dije que no me
Old cars need sidewall.
I can’t stand a car from the 60s with 20s on it. It’s an abomination.
@@literallyshaking8019You’ll
Never be able to afford one, not even build one of that caliber. So take that useless opinion and shove it in the back of your grocery getter and beat it.
His attention to detail is spot on
yes, the wheel color/size/tire combo makes the car. What a spectacle of a car. Give that car against any modern Ferrari any day of the week.
May be the coolest Mustang build ever. What a thoughtful build. Huge fan of this dude’s work.
I think I saw his gt40 vid first and I was hooked right from jump! So unique it's refreshing
I’m a massive fan as well
Agreed. I love how some might grumble over flairs but he is still purists making it enjoyable and special. Steve strope vibes love it.
I can see Steve McQueen loving this car. That’s how cool it is. The colours, the shape, the lines, the drivetrain. All his choices are cool on their own, but the whole thing together is just so right. This is easily one of the nicest 60’s Mustang I’ve seen, maybe even the nicest.
I already know it’s gonna be insane just by seeing the Ruffian name
And it is…wow!
Chris really gets it, love everything he designs. This might be my all-time favorite Mustang.
I’m with you all the way
Shawn, when it comes to the Ruffian cars you give off a ‘Kid on Christmas morning’ vibe’. You’re not alone.
the best restomodded 67 mustang ever. Hands down. Period.
Ruffian knows how to make some killer looking vehicles. It looks meaner than the average Mustang
Can't beat a combination of classic original styling styling with modern refinement & technology ... the fact that he didn't go LS is what makes this car that much more special .
I was impressed with the intro, that Mustang is incredible. I agree with Chris, vents and scoops should have a purpose or they are not needed.
OH my my my ! I literally JUST ordered the entire set of build books Chris has on their site. Perfect timing Shawn. 💪😎🤙
Awesome, thank you so much!
Those books are so beautiful. Like his builds there’s no detail left alone
That’s a beautiful car! Wow!
I’ve watched this twice now. The second time to pause my tv so I could check the details. What an awesome machine! Ruffian knocked this way out of the park!
Ruffian is the build team to be watching. Amazing work and design from Chris and his team
I just couldn’t stop from smiling and grinning the whole time. A genuine car, and a genuine person. It shines through. This is my favorite car! So freaking cool. Thank you for sharing
Glad you enjoyed and get a sense of how special Chris is. Happy to know him and his crew
Chris and his Ruffian crew are fabricated and building some fabulous looking cars ❤😎😁👍👍🤙
Real life Shaggy if I ever saw one.Great skills with the man. Plus a Ford guy!
so happy this was an hour long. amazing car thanks for taking your time on this one Shawn!
Thanks for watching. I was nervous when I saw the time on the final edit until I watched. It had to be that long to try showing every detail
Ruffian has it going on right now. Using early 60's on up road racing styles as inspiration and taking it further with an "open class" modern flare is 🔥🔥. The cars, with their original style frames instead of a complete 1 piece frame with inboard brakes, 5 link rear, etc give the owners a sense of what it was exactly like to have an open class road racer back in the day but with modern safety, reliability, and modern power. A long with that look everybody loves. The look we all got into cars for.
Ruffian is on fire right now.
Ruffian is crushing the game! I’m a huge fan as you can tell
The 8 webers and equal length headers gives that car such a great, clean sound. I love this car.
4 webers, they are two barrel carbs:) They share float chambers. Common misconception I only know from having weber DCOE's and dellorto's in the past, sidedraught carbs but very similar
@@troubluke5030 I didn't look close enough. I thought they were one barrels. Regardless this car sounds incredible.
I absolutely love how much passion he's bringing to the scene
Same for me
Ruffian is just brilliant!
This would be my daily driver!!
It really was built to be able to do that job, and what a head turner it would be too.
That car is fantastic. I love the appearance with 15 inch wheels and tires.
The Shelby mag 15" wheels with big sidewalls, the open grille, the classic paint job, the retro gold interior, the 289 with webers,. The leather straps over the spare tire, Great!! This car is just plain stunning. this is a man of taste. Love it.
The amount of little details when he goes through everything is crazy. They need to film a new Bullitt chase scene with this car in the starring role.....love the sound of the car
Love it! Maybe one day!
Wow! Just wow. I love this car more and more every time I see it!! Chris & his team have truly built a masterpiece with the FIA Mustang. 👌🏼👌🏼. Shawn, the ATLA production team absolutely knocked this episode out of the park! I totally get what you were saying…even at an hour, the whole episode keeps you engaged and intrigued. Chris’s work of art got its due attention. Great show! 🙌🏼
Thanks. It couldn’t be any shorter or we would’ve cut something that mattered. Truly a work of rolling driving art!
I owned a 68 Fastback once racing Camaros and fellow Mustangers! Beautful and well done Ruffian! Just saw Jay Leno going thru the paces of the Revology 1968 blue Mustang GT 2+2 Fastback Cobra Jet all brand new car!
Bad ass car - Love it - this guy is the Bud Moore of the 21st century
Hah! I don't know about that but I do love to build and drive em. 💚
This is as close to a "Perfect" build as it gets. Wow. Congrats to the builder.
This car is dripping with personality so much! Love the homage to vintage racing, but still making the car drivable. I can see why Chris considers this the most "accurate" build - accurate to his intent. Love it. Inspiring build and incredible talent. And, great filming!
Awesome car.
This guy is my favorite fabricator. I like his engineering. I saw the video of his other Mustang a couple years ago and I was fascinated with his engineering.
I would love for Chris to come full circle and bring this and the Galaxy to Goodwood Revival ❤
I think this is the best sounding mustang I've heard
Equal length long tubes, h-pipes and four glass packs with side exits - hard to beat!
Absolutely the best sounding mustang ever!
I love how it sounds at 6k! Really sweet sound!
Chris is like a method actor in the building world, a *_Method Builder,_* if you will. I mean this in a complimentary sense that, like an actor who will go hungry for weeks to lose weight and live the life of the character they are portraying, Chris has the ability to understand the character of the car he's building, each component and how they all relate to each other and influence the whole experience. In essence, he becomes what he builds along the way. Plus he's a mad scientist of sorts, so you gotta love that. 🙂
Never go full retard. Tropic Thunder.
He’s a special one that’s for sure. I really enjoy getting to understand how he thinks
Really appreciated. I love this little car so much. I'm glad that others are getting the same vibe!
When you hear the thought and process that went into this build its cerebral its mind blowing in its execution for a modern vintage mustang gotta love it.
I agree. Ruffian is truly impressive in their approach and execution
Absolutely Stunning Ford Mustang powered by FORD 🇦🇺
Big props to Chris on this build.
All the upgraded / modified parts are not just asthetics but changed for a purpose and function, as well.
I have one thing that does bother me about that design and i'm glad to hear Chris say what I was thinking and that would be the delete of the wind wings in the doors. To me, personally wind wings were so cool and their presence is what defines the year of the car. They also are very convenient when you just want some fresh air without cracking the window and getting that wind tunnel noise. They do make it easier to break into a car (you can tell I'm from L.A.) but I've owned two '67 Chevelles and a '66 Pontiac Bonneville wagon and a '67 Camaro and a '66 428 Thunderbird all have wind wings.
Chris even said that he wished he left them in the doors and wouldn't even as an option leave them out for his next build.
That 289 aluminum block and heads punched to 361 or whatever he said is the way to go and the Webers is the frosting on the cake, as long as you have a guy who really knows how to adjust those things. If you don't have that guy you'll have nothing but problems. The cool factor is huge and the exhaust is insane.
Hey, kids ... don't let your parents tell you that video games are a waste of time. Become a game designer and you too could be a multi millionaire and have a custom car shop as a hobby before you turn 35 years old.
Chris and his team are truly impressive. He doesn’t miss any details
@@AutotopiaLA --- you are absolutely correct about that. The first time I saw Chris and one of his cars was on Nichole Johnson's channel and I was really impressed with his work. You put it right in this video saying he is an enthusiast, not just a builder/fabricator. He loves his cars. They are being built for him, not for some client, well he has clients now but those cars are his personal toys and it shows. I have an '06 Dodge Magnum R/T 5.7 Hemi in fantastic shape but a blown motor. It's sitting at a friends ranch in Lancaster because I have no garage and he's not chatging me to store it. I'm hoping to donate or partner up with someone to do a build with that wagon. I've been told I have 2 - 10 years to live, I'll be 59 this year and I'm 3 years into that 2-10 window. I want to do some things before I die and getting that car set up to road race or drag or something is one of those things. To enjoy the process and then drive it would be so cool.
Love everything about this Mustang, especially the color and the rims selected. Wow what a machine… love it
Sweeeet, thank you!
45:10 after which you and chris just look at each other and laugh. Thats the experience you'll never get from a electric car. It will always be the most satisfying.
I’m a GM for the most part, and I like my fords for the 20’s-40’s. But when this thing debuted at SEMA it grabbed me and hasn’t let me go. It has occupied so much of my brain space over the last couple months it’s wild. When you guys did the galaxie video I fell in love with all the details and engineering of that car, and when you said you’d be doing a video on the mustang I waited anxiously for this one to drop. Love your videos and love Ruffian cars. Amazing stuff.
I’ve been following Ruffian for a few years now and I thought the 1970 was my favorite until he built this 67. 1967 is my favorite Mustang anyways so this is so damn badass!
sitting here thinkin' to myself, imo, the 67 fastback has always been a favorite. 67,69,70 are to me the best-looking bodystyles they ever had. Then that 70 pops up . Of course, he has 1970 too lol. Ive been into drag racing my whole life, but the older trans-am series and style of car has always got me. Cars like this just look evil on the street and most of the time will hang with about anything you run into today. That no-grill oil cooler look is badass. Those lines frame it in and make it look like it has one.
Best body style mustang
Getting really difficult to find too.
Damn!! As a rabid Mustang fan, this is one fine Mustang, I will buy one if I win the lottery. That sound, Ford small blocks are one of the best sounding engines.
Shawn, I love the videos, but to tell the truth they’ve been hard to watch lately. It’s hard not to be jealous and impatient about the opportunities to build and drive yet to come. I’ve dreamed about building a car worthy of your show someday. It’s such an inspiration to see what people have done with historical cars like these. I hope the day I sit behind the wheel of a homemade dream car isn’t too far away. Love the channel!
Thank you and I go through the same thing daily…I need a lot more $$$$!!
wow those wheels
One outstanding build after another a true legend in the making..
Let me add, your 289 setup ( bored/stroked) with that carb choice is perfect. Years ago a friend had a .60 over 289 with webers, throttle response was insane and sounded so damn good....
Small block with webers is forever cemented as one of my favorite motors of all time.
What did his rev to?
That's very COOL!!!!!!!
I sure respect the details and Chris also knowing when it’s enough.
Thanks! We tried to keep it really tasteful and edited.
@@chrisashton7133 Any idea where I can find 275/50 15s and 265/50/15 in a treaded tire?
Cooper stopped making them and tired of drag radials all the time. Great build..and agree on the fun factor of using the carbs .
Just finished watching . Another absolutely genuis build Chris. I literally cannot stop smiling. Bext up........TORINO.....TORINO.....TORINO ! CONGRATS ON IT ALL !
He’s got some really cool builds under way but this will be hard for anyone to top. But just watch what they do next…
Just gotta find a good donor!
One of a kind art on 4 wheels. Build books are unique and extremely well done. I recommend getting a set.
Nice, thanks for the kind words!
My kind of build! This thing is retro traditional vintage on steroids!!! Beautifully designed and turned out!
Congratulations, Chris. You have built a beautiful car. You're little touches are so fantastic. I really do like your taste.
I have a 57 cube. I wish I could let you rework for me. But I don't have the money so that it gonna happen. But it would be a real honor to let you work on it. Again, you are a fantastic builder.I'm so happy to see what you do.Thank you again
He sure does amazing work and his team is right there every step of the way. Truly impressive
Thank you so much!
What a stunner. If I ever win the lottery, this is it - dream car.
If only all Mustangs looked like that!! Incredible build.. just looks so right
This car is so well done. Crazy.
This Mustang is perfect! Best looking one, in my personal opinion
Such a sharp fastback 🎉 That's one of my dream cars
This guy have a brilliant mind when it comes to building a proper car.
Man that's a rad Mustang. Great choices all around in the design too.
I love that you're taking the time that these cars deserve.
Spectacular !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chris & Ruffian cars just keeps knocking out these amazing builds. Wiithout Autotopia interviewing & going over all the amazing work & details, there would be no way to soak it all in.
Can't wait for next one Chris & his team creates
Well, I´ll just make it a habit to press like whenever it says Ruffian in the headline. Another masterpiece. Damn, this guy can build cars!
Been waiting for this one Sean.
Chris is such a cool guest/builder...just a great video and an incredible build!
I’m a massive fan of Chris and his team. They just get it in every way possible
love the drama of the intro
Gorgeous automobile
Outstanding car! The attention to detail is amazing. Sloping the fenders and hood down one inch makes a huge difference. The wider rear axle looks great and the look is captured by the videographer in several rear view shots on the road.
Nice Ruffian again! GREAT COMPANY.
This car is so sick. I’ve been waiting for months for you guys to get it and go through it. It’s so awesome!
Another great production.
Chris is such a wonderful car nerd. Perfect for the 21st century.
Shawn, this was one of your most interesting and well planned shows. Absolutely amazing! Bravo!
Phenomenal video! Love the in depth look and explanation of the car. Felt equally as educational as it was entertaining.
Love hearing this! Thanks
The respect paid to history is my favorite part of these phenomenal builds. Bravo.
So great to see properly sized wheel and tire on this car, no goofy cartoon hoops.
Those body line match so well
Im definitely not a Mustang fan. But would love to own this car. This build was done just right. Every modern upgrade was taken to the right limit. Not over the top. Every modification to the car was done to just the right level. Nothing over the top. This is truly the best Mustang build for me. I love the theme for this car.
Beautiful! Just beautiful!!!
Another absolute beauty. You can see these cars are built with passion
One of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. Period.
It's so well done that it's hard to believe it's real. Like the Mona Lisa. You see what I mean. It draws you into its world and you can't resist. Chris Ashton, you are not just a creator, builder, artist, you are a magician. I am a big fan ! And thank you Mister Davis for showing us all this wonderful work. Best!
This is the level of detail and approach I would love(and wish) to have thrown at something like my 64 Mercury. Truly appreciate the use of classic parts and going for a period what if kind of build. Absolute work of functional art.
Nailed it: Me likey!
This one of the best modified Mustang I ever seen , well done sir .
Dig the new intro! Every time I watch one of these videos, I'm reminded that I need to buckle down and make mo money.
I reminded of the same thing lol! Let’s go!!
This guy is killing it. Another well thought out, purpose build.
That’s a sweet idea for the brake pedal support. Package it and sell it, I’ll get one.
Really smart idea
I never was a buff on yellow headlights. But I'm making one for my new custom bicycle project. Because yellow headlights means two things to me; 1. Racing. 2. Muscle. I love this car. He really knows how to make a beefy car, complete beef, but never going over the top and making it tasteless. It is one awesome looking AND sounding car, that's for sure! Love those tires. The entire vehicle just says "GO", like every car this man builds. BEAUTIFUL!
Ruffian is definitely crushing with their designs and builds
@@AutotopiaLAI love muscle cars, oh boy. But i love that he doesn't do a specific build, per say. He builds what it takes to make car that says "GO". His GT for example = "GO". But the tires on this one takes me back to all American touring cards. Plus the buff. Ruff! I love it! And for the yellow headlights...... Oh Yeah! AgIn B.E.A. utiful car!
This is one of those rare custom cars that just has the right sauce through and through! Well done Chris and crew and fantastic job from Shawn and the team at AutotopiaLA for putting together this stellar video!
Green cars and bronze wheels go together like peanut butter and jelly.
Truth!
Nothing cooler than Trans Am or FIA tributes
Amazing builds !!! Each car is getting better than the previous one. His vision is refreshing to say the least.
Next level incredible. *chefs kiss
I’d love to work in this guys shop.
Great cars.
Okay, I just spit coffee all over my laptop. There's something I love about American cars that were set up for European road racing.
@34:08 like Shawn, all of us bald guys are used to seeing the chrome. This is the most gorgeous Mustang and easily my new favorite.
Sure is another exceptional build from Chris and Ruffian crew
Damn , there is something magical by these old Mustangs ... first it was Dave's Shelby GT350 and now this masterpiece !! Bullitt has returned . what a car , what a Masterpiece build ! thanks
Super impressed with the cars Chris builds .. particularly this one.
