by Juan Sanchez built a 2005 Mustang on a 1968 chassis, and he is selling it for $30K.
The car was built over the course of more than a year with attention to every detail.
The result is a stunning black Mustang that combines modern reliability with a classic look.
To fulfill a dream, one needs courage, persistence, and endless patience, especially when that dream involves transforming two outdated Mustangs into a single attention-grabbing car. Most people only talk about it. Juan Sanchez actually did it, and now he is offering the final result—a stunning 2005 Ford with the body and soul of a 1968 classic for $30,000.
Sanchez started the project in March 2024, simply posting a few photos and saying, “there’s no turning back now…” At the time, the chassis was almost empty. He cut the pillars, the windshield was missing, and the only body part left was the hood.
“To be honest, I feel bad cutting up a ’68… the floors and front frame were in great condition,” he says. Nevertheless, he didn’t waste anything, as he was able to sell the parts he didn’t need to others who did. However, the entire project nearly fell apart. Sanchez used space at a relative’s house for most of the work and had to move in the middle of the project.
It also wasn’t finished. The 1968 body was on the 2005 chassis, but the body was in terrible shape, and the passenger side and trunk were also incomplete. Fortunately, he found a way to continue working and realized he needed to add wheel arches for safe installation. After that was done, he added a front belly pan to the Mustang’s front end and began working on the details.
He tucked away the rear bumper, paid close attention to panel gaps, and made sure every hole was well-protected from the weather. Initially, he considered red paint, but at the last moment, he decided to go with classic black. The result is impressive.
During an interview about the most challenging part of the project, Sanchez told Carscoops: “The hardest part was trying to make everything look as if it were original, with minimal modifications… except for the arches—they weren’t necessary but made the car look more aggressive without appearing wild. Another very unique process was extending the rocker panels, especially reinforcing them.” This attention to detail is evident when you look at the finished car.
Now that everything is ready, he is selling it. With such a price, it’s no surprise that he already has an interested buyer. The old saying “don’t buy another man’s project” might come to mind, but this looks different. There’s no doubt—this is a masterfully crafted labor of love. Sanchez is even open to taking orders if someone has a similar project in mind.
Thanks to the fact that under the hood, it remains a modern car with modern components that weren’t modified to work with other chassis parts. Would you dare to take on something similar for $30,000? Let us know in the comments below!
