Over its six generations, we’ve seen several iterations of the Ford Mustang. In its first generation alone, the Blue Oval pony car underwent several changes. But if you’re in love with the original Mustang produced from 1964 to 1966, then you’ll love Ringbrothers’ latest creation – a restored and modified Mustang convertible like no other, nicknamed CAGED.
At first glance, you might think this is an all-stock restoration of an original 1964.5 Ford Mustang convertible. That’s not the case as nearly every component here was made by the Wisconsin-based custom car maker.
In fact, Ringbrothers said the only factory part left here is the wheel center cap set.

From an original 1964.5 Mustang convertible, the chassis was converted to a unibody platform, while the body length and width were extended by an inch. The front grille was redesigned and moved back two inches, feeding air to the 5.0-liter Ford Performance Coyote V8 crate engine, hence the 302 badging near the front fender.
“The customer was very involved in the process and insisted on maintaining a subtle, stock-like appearance,” said Ringbrothers co-owner Mike Ring. “Everything was modeled after the original Mustang design, but we refined the lines and added a number of 3D printed details to make it truly unique.”
The modern V8 engine features Ringbrothers headers and a Flowmaster exhaust system. Power is sent to the wheels via Ford’s 10R80 10-speed automatic transmission. Speaking of wheels, the EVOD Industries 18-inch wheels follow the styling of Mustang rally wheels. Penske Racing Shocks RS Edition performance coilovers are found front and rear, while a set of Baer brakes are fitted for stopping duties.
Pricing for the restoration and modification was not disclosed in the release. Over 4,200 hours have gone into this unique Ringbrothers build.
