The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift — 1967 Mustang Fastback

The Fast and the Furious Wiki

The third installment of the Fast and Furious franchise, Tokyo Drift is my personal favorite from the bonkers series. It was the first one of the movies that shifted to a radically different setting and shone a light on the art of drifting. Despite it not being a drifter, the Mustang in the movie manages to beat the expert racer Takashi using it. It may be a ’67, but it was actually made from a pair of ’68s. It also doesn’t feature any of the V8s you’d expect to find in a muscle car. Instead, it features a 2.6 liter twin-turbo straight six as found in a Nissan Silvia S15.

The engine was outfitted with an Earl’s Performance braided line and hooked up to a BeCool radiator. B-pillar scoops were added, and the suspension was upgraded with Global West control arms and KYB rear shocks. Wilwood disc brakes were attached to the JDM wheels. Miraculously, all but one of the six Mustangs survived filming and were sold, with prices ranging from $14-22K.
