Rejean Desjardins

Two decades in the making. Rejean Desjardins’s 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback started off as someone else’s rescued project that originally began in 2003, but the end result was well worth it. Throughout 2023, it was a Riddler Award Great Eight finalist in Detroit, the Grand Champion in Toronto, a Goodguys Street Machine of the Year finalist in Columbus, a Triple Crown of Rodding top-30 winner in Nashville, and a Best Engineered Vehicle of the Year contender at the 2023 SEMA Show in Las Vegas. It’s equipped with a carbon fiber roof and hood, powered by a stack-injected Ford Performance 5.0L Coyote V8 mated to a Tremec TKO 600 5-speed manual transmission, and rides on a custom suspension with rear Watt’s link and Moser 9-inch rear end, Wilwood disc brakes, Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires, and 18×8/19×10 Forgeline forged three piece SC3C wheels finished with Matte Bronze centers & Transparent Smoke outers.
