http://fastcache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/12/2011/07/xlarge_v12mustang5.jpg Even though this 2005 Ford Mustang may look like your average custom American muscle car on the outside, it has a secret. Underneath the hood of this Mustang is a technically British heart in the form of a Ford built 6.0L V12 from a 2001 Aston Martin Vanquish. http://fastcache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/12/2011/07/xlarge_v12mustang1.jpg This exercise in bastardized brilliance was originally built for SEMA in 2006 and accordingly has all of the oversized wheels and custom interior touches you might expect. It also has a name, Vanquish'd, which by our own admission is a little more clever than most custom car names. http://fastcache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/12/2011/07/xlarge_v12mustang3.jpg From the 2000kms on the odometer it seems after SEMA and countless magazine features, this car did quite a bit of sitting. With a current asking price of $79,900 we have a feeling there might be some more sitting in this unique Mustang's future, even if it does have one of the more interesting engine swaps we've seen in a while. *NOTE THE LICENSE PLATE* http://fastcache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/12/2011/07/xlarge_v12mustang.jpg http://realperformancemustangs.com/s197-1-2005-2009/your-chance-to-purchase-a-ford-mustang-with-the-v12-heart-of-an-aston-martin/msg23690/?topicseen#new

Holy crap, a V12? Wonder what sort of 1/4 mile time this baby does? Check out the crazy dash too.

That car is more a Auto-Cross car than a drag car. Shannon had it in Saskatoon for the IMM a few years back and the local sports car club was competing at the arena parking lot, they inserted a few of us Mustang guys for intermission entertainment (most of us had never tried Auto X before) and Shannon ran the best time with the Vanquished Stang among us but also ran the best time of the entire sports car club as that car stuck like glue to the track.

All in all a very nice modified car.
