It’s no secret Australians love a good V8 muscle car but we never thought there would be enough demand Down Under for Ford’s stunning GT supercar that a company would actually starting converting them to right-hand-drive for the local market. Actually, two companies, Crossover Car Conversions and Mustang Motorsport, based out of Melbourne, have converted their first Ford GT and have already taken it to a race track for testing.
The car is now going through the formal approval process to meet Australian Design Rules, and is expected to be delivered to its lucky owner within the next few weeks. “Handing this car over is going to be a proud moment, both in terms of the quality of our work and also just for the fact that the Ford GT is such a phenomenal car,” Mustang Motorsport’s Craig Dean said recently.
The car sells in Australia for half a million dollars, roughly $452,000USD at current conversion rates, but so far only six cars are scheduled to be modified and all have already been pre-sold. If you live in Australian and still want an American Ford muscle car, the company also offers a Mustang GT conversion.
