"Copperback," a low, sleek 1967 Ford built by the Ring Bros of Spring Green, Wisconsin has been selected by Jack Roush himself as the national winner of the 2007 Ford in a Ford award. As winners, the Ring Brother's will receive a 515- horsepower Roush 402R motor as well as two leather letterman's jackets courtesy of Roush Performance.

Copperback, which gets its name from the custom blend burnt orange color, a custom mix by the Ring Bros, was built as a personal car for the Jim and Mike "to enjoy and beat on." Powered by a Fuel injected 427-IR Roush Racing engine, Copperback features over 70 custom machined parts (including the the super trick side vents, taillight bezels, hinges and lots more trick parts!) Air Ride bags all around, a Chassis Works total control front end & steering rack, a heavy duty Tremec 5 speed tranny, I Forge wheels, Baer 6-Piston brakes, a nice leather interior with Rockford Fosgate sound system and of course an ample supply of Ring Brothers carbon fiber body components including the hood, deck lid, front & rear bumpers and quarter extensions.

The car was selected as the Ford in a Ford regional award winner at this year's 18th Great Lakes Nationals held at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison, Wisconsin before being crowned as the national winner this week. Roush Performance will again present the Ford in a Ford awards program at all 2008 Goodguys national events.

I had not seen these Ring Brothers Mustangs until a week ago. I have never seen better work. The Reactor is the best looking Mustang by far. Maybe I should cancel the KR and just have these guys build something special.

The KR is a great car if you don't plan on driving it. In my opinion, it simply can not justify the cost unless its purchased purely as a non-driving investment. There are many better Mustangs for far less money. However, if you truly want something unique, then giving the Ringbrothers a call wouldn't hurt. Ask for Jim Ring and tell him Matt at Motorator.com sent you. Contact info: http://www.ringbrothers.com/about/contact-us/
