Episode 2: 1969 Mustang Fastback Restoration
In Episode 2 of Guthrie’s Garage, Jim Guthrie and his team take on a classic 1969 Mustang Fastback that has spent years on the road and gradually fallen into need of a full restoration. What began as a well-loved driver is transformed into a project that blends careful preservation with thoughtful modernization.
Throughout the episode, the Guthrie’s Garage crew carefully disassembles, restores, and rebuilds the Mustang while introducing upgrades that improve performance, reliability, and drivability. The goal is not to change what makes the car special, but to enhance it—keeping the spirit of the original Fastback alive while making it more enjoyable for today’s roads.
The finished result is a revived American icon that honors its muscle car heritage while benefiting from modern craftsmanship and engineering. This episode showcases the attention to detail, passion, and respect for classic cars that defines every build at Guthrie’s Garage.
