![]() His other 2015 Ford is a Mustang GT Convertible, also designed and assembled by Chip and Modern Muscle Design, but this time to commemorate first model’s 50th anniversary. Posted by The Official Chip Foose on Friday, June 4, 2021 Have a great #FooseFriday!With the custom #FooseDesign 2015 #Mustang #convertible#foose #chipfoose #fordmustang #mustangs #stang #custommustang #2015mustang #mmdbyfoose #americanmuscle When it comes to appearances, certain enhanced details such as the ‘front chin spoiler, hood scoop, rocker panels, side scoops, quarter-window louvers, and rear spoiler’ give an ‘aggressive’ look to it, as MotorTrend reports. ![]() While this particular car was leveled-up in power thanks to additional 2.9 liter superchargers, added to its custom designed wheels by Foose. His Ford Mustang GT was built in collaboration with Modern Muscle Design in 2015, before being introduced to the general public in that year’s Mustang Show held in Pennsylvania. That’s the case of the two 2015 Ford Mustangs in Chip Foose’s collection, which are actually quite different, despite being almost the same vintage model. Sometimes collectors have unique pieces in their collections, but other times they can have two different versions of the same vehicle as well. Image sourceĪlthough the performance of Chip’s Ford T is unknown, having this car in his garage is probably more a matter of sentimentalism, given how crucial the development of this particular roadster is for the industry in general, being the first attempt from Ford to mass produce an affordable car, that is, on an assembly line.Ī century later, there aren’t many T Models in existence, and very few look as well preserved as the one in Chip’s collection. Unlike most vehicles in his garage, this Model T’s design isn’t modified in the least, besides the paint job which keeps it looking as stunning as when it was released in 2013. Of course, owning a history-relevant car is every collector’s dream, and Chip Foose is no exception. That being said, it’s doubtful that Chip would ever want to sell such a special gift. The vehicle’s dark silver colored exterior with white and orange details adds to this GT’s tasteful combination, of which Chip was undoubtedly so proud of that he exhibited during 2014’s SEMA event.Īlthough it’s unknown what Chip’s car is valued at, according to AutoTrader, the price of a common 2006 Ford GT is over $250,000. While some performance fixings were added to it, the most extreme changes were to its appearance, focusing on making its bumper almost unnoticeable, while adding other details such as decorated frame extensions, and his own Chip Foose-designed wheels, with aluminum alloys and orange-stripped. Although the 2006 Ford GT was originally designed to look slick and daringly modern, Chip put it upon himself to enhance its best features with his personal style. In 2013 Chip Foose hit the 50-year-old mark, and to celebrate it, his wife Lynne wisely gifted him another car for his collection, one he had always dreamed of owning. The car is powered by Lincoln’s V12 engines, plus brakes and other parts, without forgetting eye-catching details such as real B-17 seats.Īlthough Chip built the Street Fighter in the late 2000s, it wasn’t truly shown to the public until SEMA’s 2017 exhibition. ![]() Taking direct inspiration from the long-range P-51 Mustang fighter, Chip used what little free time he had from filming “ Overhaulin’” to create this car, using the aforementioned parts, and adding his own aircraft-style nose design. ![]() Other inspiration sources worth mentioning are the twin piston-engined P-38 Lightning fighter, and the 1932 Ford Highboy. The Street Fighter was born from an idea which wouldn’t leave Chip alone, as his website states: ‘what if a pilot returned from the war and missed his plane so much that he built a hot rod to emulate his old aircraft?’. Such is the case of the P-32 Street Fighter, a hot rod born from a 1932 Ford chassis on which is mounted the body of a Brookville Roadster.įlying into the weekend ✈️ #P32 #foose #chipfoose #foosedesign #32ford /LDa7JPUiTp 1932 P-32 Street FighterĬhip is known for being an innovative designer, even while bringing to life classic-looking vehicles. The green-colored model which Chip keeps in his garage is undoubtedly one of the most eye-catching in his collection. It was unveiled in 2006’s Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) exhibition, becoming so popular that five of them were produced with an impressive price of $298,000 each. A post shared by Chip Foose the first the public knew about his original design was in a 1991 Hot Rod issue feature, it didn’t become a reality until 15 years later, when Chip teamed up with Metalcrafters to finally produce a full-size Hemisfear, the most loyal in design to his original concept to date. ![]()
