Ringbrothers unveil the menacing 'Kingpin' Mustang at SEMA, leaving a lasting impression.
The automotive world is buzzing with excitement as the renowned Ringbrothers reveal their latest masterpiece, the 'Kingpin' Ford Mustang Mach 1, at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas. This custom-built muscle car is a sinister twist on a classic, leaving enthusiasts in awe and sparking debates among car lovers.
The Ringbrothers, known for their exceptional craftsmanship, have outdone themselves with this 1969 Mustang. Building upon their previous Mach 1 creations, 'UNKL' and 'PATRIARC', the team pushed the boundaries even further. They widened the car's body, lengthened the wheelbase, and crafted a bespoke roll cage, transforming the chassis into a unibody structure. But here's where it gets controversial - some purists might argue that altering the original design so drastically strays from the essence of classic car restoration.
Under the hood, a Coyote V-8 engine with a Whipple supercharger roars to life, a significant departure from their previous builds. This powerhouse, built by Wegner Motorsports, produces over 800 horsepower, making it the most formidable Mach 1 yet. The six-speed manual transmission and high-performance Brembo brakes ensure an exhilarating driving experience.
The 'Kingpin' boasts a unique aesthetic, thanks to its BASF Bootleg Black paint job and custom 3D-printed details. Jim Ring, co-owner of Ringbrothers, explains their design philosophy: "We wanted to capture the essence of a movie villain's ride, something straight out of a John Wick film." And they've certainly achieved that, as this Mustang could easily be the choice of transport for any big-screen bad guy.
As the SEMA Show continues, the 'Kingpin' Mustang is sure to turn heads and spark conversations. Will this custom build be a hit or miss with classic car enthusiasts? And what does the future hold for the Ringbrothers' unique brand of automotive artistry? Share your thoughts and join the discussion!
