Baby boomers, your ride is here: Classic Design Concepts "Flashback" Mustang
Click above image to view a gallery of the Flashback Mustang
Classic Design Concepts has announced it will be debuting two of four new Mustangs targeted towards baby boomers at the 2007 SEMA Show. The first is a recreation of a base 1967 Mustang using all Ford licensed products with a few extras thrown in. The second, which is CDC owner George Huisman's personal car, is codenamed "Flashback" and features classic styling with modern amenities. Far from being a simple restoration, the Flashback is actually a brand new car built from the ground up. It features a Dynacom Ford-authorized body that has been altered by Classic Design Concepts with a modified front fascia, fog light package, bright mesh grille, rear fascia, and functional lower side vents. The best part is that the Flashback isn't a one-off show car. Customers will be able to order full Flashback Mustangs directly from Classic Design Concepts.
The base car comes with a 302 ci V8 engine with 375 horsepower mated to a 5-speed transmission, although a 347 ci V8 with 450 hp and a 5.4-liter supercharged V8 with 600 horsepower are optional. The base package also includes leather seats, air conditioning, a JVC head unit and Rockford Fosgate sound system, stainless steel brakes, and Ford 9" rear end. Four suspension and brake packages are available as well as different hoods, wheels, and even stripes.

I wonder how much this is going to be. I think somewhere around 70k little more?

I'd bet a lot more than that. Restorod Challengers are $100k-$200k, depending on options.

Automatic transmission = useless. Also such a peculiar intake snorkel placement, Cold air from the... wheel well?

the last 3 vehicles I've owned (2 GM SUVs and a Dodge Ram) have had the intake running to the fender like that.
Ricky 3:57PM (10/26/2007)
Maybe it is just the lack of front shots, but it looks like there will not be a nice big intake hole on the front fascia to accommodate that fender intake. Still, I'm sure that supercharger will find some way to get enough air sucked in.

"Automatic transmission = useless"
Agreed, but what does your statement have to do with the manual transmission they're putting into these cars?

"The base car comes with a 302 ci V8 engine with 375 horsepower mated to a 5-speed transmission"
Does not denote automatic or manual transmission.
However, I figured this lever of a shifter could only be for an automatic.

That's a hurst T-handle shifter on a manual trans- not an automatic.
You can tell from the shift boot, the left lean of the shifter and the undercar shot of the trans (automatics have a pan, this is a manual).
So your automatic=worthless comment is moot.

Did you notice the clutch pedal in the pics?

I am not a baby boomer, but I'd pick one of these over new Mustang or Corvette or any other coupe in this price category any time. Interior seems nicely done and looks great.

That's the ATM machine lever so you can pay for this thing.
