1968 Mustang Fastback from Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift on Ebay


The 68 Mustang Fastback in The Fast and the Furious : Tokyo Drift stole the show at the end of the movie, but purists surely scoffed when they realized that it was powered by a Nissan Skyline GT-R turbocharged motor.

Surely one of the only, if not the only classic Stang powered by a GT-R motor, this car is now for sale on Ebay. As of this moment the bids are up to $45,000 and the reserve has not yet been met.

A list of some of the modifications done to the car include: Wilwood four wheel disc brakes with 4 pistons up front, Volk GT-7 19 x 9 wheels up front and 19 x 10 in rear, Toyo Praxes T1R tires, KYB shocks, Flaming River rack & pinion steering, Sperco Intercooler, G Ready manifolds, N1 Magflow Exhaust, Fuel safe fuel cell with stainless lines, Global West upper lower control arms, Wenco drive shaft, 9" Currie rear end, Year One interior including new replacement seats, Hurst shifter, and front power windows.

Since completion of the movie, the fastback has been on display in a museum near Chicago. This car was only driven around 200 miles for filming purposes and was not the stunt car.
