The Ford Mustang GT was modified specifically for filming cars such as the Bugatti Veyron in its most intense chase scenes.
Ford Mustang GT was upgraded with a Saleen supercharger to produce 625 horsepower. The saleen-branded Ford Mustang GT also features a 3.73 rear gearing and 14 inch brakes. The icing on the cake is a six-speed manual transmission. This Mustang GT’s modifications don’t stop at its mechanical parts. To meet the demands of a proper camera car, a customized roll cage and Corbeau bucket seat were added. Additionally, the front airbag was removed in order to make space for electronic equipment.
The most obvious modification is the glass hatch at the back that allows for a camera operator. There are camera mounts for the rear and front bumpers. All you need is a professional camera and a car to film it with. A car that has been so extensively modified doesn’t come without its quirks. The trunk door and passenger airbag icons remain on. The weird rear glass is the best part. If you like the car and the 7,791 miles seem appealing to you, please visit the eBay link and give the seller a shout.
