1965 RingBrothers Mustang “Espionage” is Perverse Power

Via Gear Heads

When performing a cloak and dagger operation, it helps to be not only cunning and quick on your feet, but to also be subtle and understated. That is, in a sense what we see with the RingBrothers 2015 SEMA creation dubbed Espionage. It is an immensely powerful and well accommodated 65 Mustang with all the modern amenities you could desire, yet it isn’t flagrant about it. This is no Liberace lowrider, but more of a P-51 Mustang ready to battle ME-109’s and Zeros in a high performance dogfight.

Packed with a 7.0L LS7 fed by a 2.9L Whipple Supercharger to the LSA heads makes this power plant produce 959hp/858ft-lbs. Take this brunt and place it through a Tremec T56 and on to a Detroit Speed Ford 9″ rear means that power can be planted solidly and reliably. When it comes to handling, the Bros used Detroit Speed’s Quad-Link and Aluma sub-frame and chassis components in order to plant this beast to the tarmac. Knowing full well that some meaty shoes would be necessary meant placing 18×11’s in front and 19×12’s in the rear. Although this is more rubber on road than some, this much power means that the first three gears still provide the possibility to over throttle and lose traction. To stop this crazy train, the Brothers used Baer’s 6-Piston calipers and 14″ rotors all around giving it a nice symmetrical look and plenty of braking power.

The only bit I would change on this Mustang would to be too inset the RacePak cluster into the dash for a smoother finish and possibly put leather or carbon fiber around it so that it looked more of an OEM “like” install than an afterthought, that is all. I seriously do not what to know the price tag for this build as you can imagine that just pricing out parts would nearly send you into six-figures not to mention the “cheesehead” touch on top of it. Either way the brothers have once again managed to deliver a truly remarkable Mustang that we can hang posters of in lieu of our wedding photos.
