Lusting after a 1969 Ford Mustang, but can’t afford one? Dream Customs India has got your back with this Hyundai Accent conversion
Yes, this is a 1969 Mustang, but only from a distance. It's actually a 2009 Hyundai Accent with a plastic surgeory done by Dreams Customs India
As expected, many things give it away, such as the absurd front overhang, overall fit and finish, and funny stance
Strangely enough, the back end looks quite convincing, apart from the trunk lid handle position
Inside, the first thing you notice is the steering wheel position. Classic Mustangs were left-hand-drive-only. This changed in 2015
Actually, they've mimicked the "double hoop" dashboard design quite well. However, the cheap Hyundai Accent center console ruins it
The two-tone leather interior looks weathered. We're not sure whether it's intentional or if they've simply used an old one
Oh, I'm sorry, were you expecting a V-8? The replica still uses the Hyundai Accent asthmatic four-banger
They've at least made an effort to modify the sound appropriately. It vaguely resembles a V-8, but there's no fooling anyone
On the upside, if you see it from a far, you'll wonder how some rich Indian YouTuber has managed to import a 1969 Mustang to India
