Pat’s story started when he bought a totaled 2017 Ford Mustang GT350 that only had 56 miles on the clock. The Mustang had seen better days and had fallen off a car carrier that crushed the roof. Mechanically the Mustang was still perfect. “I never thought about doing a body swap until I found this car.

Vuil Van Zyl has had his fair share of Muscle cars over the years. I have always had a soft spot for vintage cars and one cannot argue with the smooth lines of classic cars. They just dont build them the way they used to. The cars of today have no soul. Take a look at the rear of a car for argument’s sake hips for days and days.

I mean, when was the last time you saw an ugly super car? These speed machines capture our imagination with their beauty and raw power. They are meant for two things, to go fast and looks amazing.
