Description

Attention serious collectors! This car is not a tribute or a clone, t's the real deal and here's your chance to own this piece of HOT ROD Magazine history ... a one-of-a-kind 65 Mustang Fastback project car dubbed "Mustang Magic". This story began in the 1970s when a pooped out pony was purchased by HOT ROD magazine's editor, ruce Caldwell, hen transformed into a super street wide-body stallion by custom designer Eddie Paul. FYI, ustang Magic is100% metal except for the Shelby style fiberglass hood. Each phase of the project was featured in 8 issues of Hot Rod from Dec, 978 to Jan, 980 with a cover shot on the Aug, 979 edition. The entire build was then consolidated into a 28-page article in the "first" edition of Hot Rod's MUSTANG MAGAZINE in 1980. If you have access to the #1 issue of Mustang Mag, ook it up.You'll be impressed with the work put into this car including a 289 engine blue-printed at the Edelbrock factory in California. Magic also graced the cover of Petersen Publishing's Shop Series book titled "Engine Swapping".
In addition to the car's rich magazine lineage its notoriety doesn't stop there. Mustang Magic's builder, ddie Paul, as a very impressive resume including builds for Hollywood movies like "E.T.", Grease" and "Star Wars". Later he built the "xXx" GTO as well as all the cars in "The Fast & The Furious" and "2Fast 2Furious". Eddie also brought Lightning McQueen, ater & Sally Carrera to life for PIXAR by creating full-sized versions.
As you can see this car is a heavily documented collectible and should bring top dollar at venues such as Barrett Jackson's Celebrity Auction. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding!
