Turning heads and ticking off Ford purists, the rulebreaking, allsteel widebody 1970 Fastback Ford Mustang, with its 625 horsepower aluminum block stroker 427ci LS3, was designed after the TransAm race cars from the late 60s and early 70s. The Ruffian Mustang is artist Chris Ashton's first car build, which has propelled him into the automotive spotlight. Nicole takes an autocross Detour in the "Boss 427", properly experiencing its T56 Super Magnum transmission, Hoosier racing slicks, lowered front control arms, 3link rear suspension, and gforce meter at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California.
