Ford's SEMA restomods: R125 1966 Mustang Fastback and 575-hp 1985 F-250
Ford's SEMA restomods celebrate Ford Racing's 125th anniversary with two builds that keep their original chassis and character. The R125 starts with a 1966 Mustang Fastback and a 347-cubic-inch fuel-injected V8 making 360 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque, driving through a Tremec TKX-600 five-speed manual, built to showcase Ford Racing Parts. The 1985 F-250 was built by Matt Johnson of Doc Johnson Restorations, who bought the abandoned ranch truck for $800; it now runs a Ford Racing 460-cubic-inch V8 making 575 hp and 575 lb-ft, on modified Twin Traction Beam suspension and 37-inch tires. Both were built to be driven, not trailered.
