Old Mustangs are not the beginning of revology. Rather, they create brand-new automobiles from the ground up. This entails modern engineering, Ford Performance engines, and brand-new steel bodies. The outcome? A car that drives like a contemporary masterpiece despite having an antique appearance.

Fixing the Boss 429’s Biggest Flaw

The original Boss 429 was a beast on a straight line—but cornering? Not so much. Its massive iron-block engine sat way up front, making the car nose-heavy and a little… nervous in turns. Revology’s solution is genius: they dropped in a supercharged Gen 4 Coyote V8, the same engine in the Mustang Dark Horse.

  • Power: more than 710 horsepower
  • Weight: 3,980 pound (425 pounds less than the 2025 Mustang GTD)
  • Balance: Front-heavy feel gone, corners feel planted

Jay himself notes, “It feels like my GTD!” The car now rewards smooth inputs rather than punishing you for daring to drive hard—a transformation that turns a once-frustrating classic into a joy on the road.

Modern Engineering Underneath the Classic Sheet Metal

Revology didn’t stop with the engine. The chassis is all new, built with CAD design, automated spot welding and structural adhesives. The result is a frame that’s far stiffer than anything Ford built in the ’60s. That rigidity improves:

  • Ride quality
  • Steering precision
  • Noise control
  • Safety

Even on bumpy road the car feels rock-solid—no squeaks, no flex just pure confidence.

An Interior That Matches the Muscle

Step inside, and the cabin keeps the classic vibe but adds subtle luxury touches. Forget flashy infotainment systems—this Mustang focuses on craftsmanship:

  • Genuine walnut veneers
  • Bespoke metal controls
  • Rolls-Royce-grade leather

Even the electrical system is modernized. A hybrid CAN bus reduces wiring by 75%, improving reliability while supporting modern amenities like power mirror and a Harman Kardon audio system. The interior feels like a luxury coupe that just happens to wear vintage clothes.
