Tony Arme: 1968 Ford Mustang

Tony Arme's 1968 Ford Mustang is custom from top to bottom. The Mustang features a Ferrari F430 V8 motor with twin turbos, carbon fiber accents, air ride, huge brakes, and endless detail. "We wanted to do something different," mentions Arme, "and move the bar up a few notches."

The car was built at American legends, owned by Arme. "After sitting for 12 years it was time to complete it," states Arme, "and make the run for SEMA in 2018 was plenty of inspiration."

Arme has built numerous other hot rods and muscle cars.
