SEMA 2015: 1969 Ford Mustang by Goolsby Customs

1969-mustang-goolsby-customs-profileDo you remember Goolsby Customs from Bessemer, Alabama? A while back, we covered their 1969 Camaro Convertible build from SEMA 2013. They were back at SEMA 2015 with an all-new creation: a 1969 Ford Mustang. The car belongs to Tim and Cici Spencer, and we couldn’t wait to check it out!

Every good hot rod starts with a body, and the ’69 Mustang is a beautiful car to start with. This one has been given a full custom treatment with a handmade front and rear valence, custom ground effects, and custom exhaust tips recessed into the neatly tucked rear bumper. The drip rails have been shaved for a smooth look, and you might notice that those are not stock door handles, either. The car’s badges, side vents, and other accessories have all been CNC machined for that extra touch of class.1969-mustang-goolsby-customs-rearThe attention to detail continues under the hood, where a fresh 5.0 liter “Coyote” V8 engine has been installed. With 435 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque, it is more than enough to get the car moving! The engine has been coupled to a Getrag 6-speed manual, as one would expect to find in a muscle car. It’s incredible what a nice job they did routing the hoses and wiring, and the smoothed firewall adds to the car’s clean look.

The interior is a completely custom job as well, done by M&M Hot Rod Interiors of Holly Pond, AL. From leather to metal to the red stitching, this interior features high quality materials in addition to great craftsmanship.1969-mustang-goolsby-customs-interiorThis car received a Mother’s Shine Award at SEMA 2015 – the highest honor of the show. A panel of judges voted this car to be the Best among all the cars on display at SEMA that year. Congratulations to Goolsby Customs and to Tim and Cici Spencer on their amazing build! We hope to see more from Goolsby in the future.
