John Wick: 1969 Mustang Fastback

Street Muscle

Ah, John Wick. This movie is one of my favorites of recent years, for one simple reason: its ridiculous coolness. Starring Keanu Reeves as a retired hitman with a brutal reputation who gets back into the game to hunt down a crew of mobsters who stole his car and killed his dog, it has it all. The firefights are vicious, the world it creates fantastically deep, and it also pays a good amount of attention to its cars. One car that gets a lot of screen time in particular is Mr. Wick’s Mustang, which also features in the sequel. A ’69 Fastback that attracts a lot of attention from all the wrong sort of people, the car is the vehicular equivalent of the titular character: brutal, efficient, and unmistakably badass.

The car is portrayed in the movie as being a Boss 429, but there are a couple of giveaways that it isn’t. The car features a smaller hood scoop than the Boss 429’s, and also features a small rear spoiler and chin splitter. The engine that was under the hood is unknown, and all of the cars that were used in the film have since been destroyed. Whatever its true spec was, there’s no denying it’s a hell of a car. Featuring hood pins, Magnum 500s and a daunting paint scheme, it’s probably the only car fit for John Wick.
