The Appeal

The first-generation Ford Mustang needs little introduction, and thanks to its regular appearances in pop culture, it's become a popular project car for recreating famous movie liveries. This example, for instance, was inspired by the iconic car from the 2000 film Gone in 60 Seconds, and is thus finished in Pepper Grey with black racing stripes. As you might expect, it cuts a striking figure on the road.

Imported from the United States and now registered in France, this Mustang passed its Contrôle Technique with a favourable result in April 2025 and, under the collection vehicle schedule, does not require re-inspection until 2027. French registration documents, an FFVE certificate, and a collection of invoices accompany the car.
