Brad Gibbs’ 1967 Ford Mustang Coupe "Dream Car"
If you had the chance to build one last race car to finish out your drag racing career what would you do? Would you build something that just fit your needs, or would you build a car that checked every box you ever wanted in a race car? When it came time for Brad Gibbs to make that decision, he went all-in and built an immaculate eight-second 1967 Ford Mustang.
For over 20 years Brad’s racecar of choice was a fox body Mustang that he started building when his son Brendyn was just three months old. That car held a special place in Brendyn’s heart, so Brad decided to give it to his son when the time was right. The only problem was that now Brad was without a race car, so he went in search of something to build that would be his final ride.
Brad found exactly what he was looking for in April of 2019, which meant it was time for a road trip from Ontario to Ohio so he could pick up an original steel body 1967 Mustang coupe.
