Just yesterday, Justin released the first photo of this brand-new build. This 1967 Mustang is set to be a purpose-built NPK car, featuring a screw-blown Hemi engine. It’s clear that Justin is pulling out all the stops for this new project.
Justin Swanstrom, known for his extensive car-building experience, arguably leads the largest racing operation in NPK. His lineup includes notable cars such as Prenup, Bad Blood, and Side Piece, which is now known as Sir Vincent. Sir Vincent is actually Todd Fallon’s new NPK car. Together, Todd Fallon Racing and JNS Racing make up a formidable team with four NPK-capable cars and a Pro Mod. Their operation is massive and continuously growing.

For the next season of NPK, Justin’s ride will be this new 1967 Mustang. Bad Blood will serve as a backup car for both Justin and Todd Fallon. Sir Vincent, equipped with a similar Hemi combination, will be Todd’s primary ride.
Interestingly, there’s a trend of 1967 Mustangs making their way into NPK. Another new 1967 Mustang, set to debut in Washington this August, will also feature a screw-blown Hemi with a PJ’s combination. Additionally, Jerry Bird is running a 1967 Mustang built by Whistle Race Cars, the same team behind Justin’s new build.

We’re seeing numerous racers like Scott Taylor and Doc also unveiling new cars. Despite the uncertain future direction of NPK, these builds suggest that there’s still significant momentum and anticipation for upcoming seasons.
Building an NPK car isn’t a simple task. These cars are meticulously designed and constructed with NPK's specific requirements in mind. While Justin was able to repurpose Prenup as a radial car, most of these cars are built solely for NPK, from the chassis to the weight distribution.

We’re excited to see how Justin’s 1967 Mustang will perform. With a strong combination under the hood and Justin’s expertise, this car is sure to be a fierce competitor. Stay tuned for more updates and let’s see how this new build turns out!
