FAQ

What is the Revology Mustang?

The Revology Mustang is the world’s first reproduction of the original Mustang.  It looks like an original Mustang but is designed and built using modern technology and materials for significantly improved performance, reliability, and comfort.

How is the car sold and registered?

The Revology Mustang is sold either as a replica rolling chassis, without engine or transmission, or as a restored original Mustang.  The Revology Mustang replica rolling chassis is not a new automobile.  It is sold as a set of parts required to build a new replica automobile.  The parts set consists of a new rolling chassis and the parts required to install the engine and transmission in the rolling chassis.  The engine and transmission are sold separately.  The end user is responsible for purchasing the engine and transmission and installing or contracting for the installation of the engine and transmission in the rolling chassis.  After the installation of the engine and transmission, the vehicle may be registered as a kit, replica, assembled from parts, or other classification, depending on the state of registration.   The Revology restored original Mustang is restored from an original donor Mustang, to Revology’s specifications.  The Revology restored original Mustang is sold and titled as a used vehicle.

Can the Revology Mustang be registered in California? 

Yes.  After the powertrain is installed, the Revology Mustang replica rolling chassis may be registered for use in California under the SB100 Title and Registration program. The Revology restored original Mustang may be registered in California the same way as any other used vehicle.

What do Ford and Shelby think of Revology?

All Revology Mustangs and Shelby GTs are officially licensed by Ford and Shelby, respectively.  Revology Cars is the first and presently the only company authorized by Ford to build reproduction Mustangs from 1965-1970.  Revology is one of only four companies worldwide authorized to build licensed reproduction Shelby GTs.

Does the Revology Mustang meet current Federal Motor Vehicle Safety (FMVSS) standards?

No.  It is impossible to meet current FMVSS given the constraints of the 1960s vehicle architecture.  However, the Revology Mustang platform features many passive safety improvements not available in the original cars, including three-point driver and passenger seat belts, a dual-circuit braking system, a collapsible steering shaft, a fuel pump inertia switch, an aluminum and composite trunk floor, and optional driver and passenger head restraints.

Does the Revology Mustang have airbags?

No.  It is impossible to fit airbags without substantially altering the appearance of the car.  However, the Revology Mustang platform features many passive safety improvements not available in the original cars, including three-point driver and passenger seat belts, a dual-circuit braking system, a collapsible steering shaft, a fuel pump inertia switch, a 16-gauge steel trunk floor, and optional driver and passenger head restraints.

Does the Revology Mustang have ABS brakes?

No.  Although it is theoretically possible to design an ABS brake package for the Revology Mustang platform, the high development cost cannot be amortized over the low production volumes of a limited edition, hand-built automobile such as this.  However, the Revology Mustang platform features many active safety features not available in the original cars, including four-wheel power disc brakes, power rack and pinion steering, performance radial tires, and bright LED exterior lighting, including brake lights approximately 10 times brighter than the originals.

When was Revology founded? By who?

Revology started operations in 2014 and garnered extensive publicity and praise for the quality and execution of its 1966 Mustang convertible concept, exhibited at the prestigious Amelia Island Concours in 2015. Revology was founded by Tom Scarpello, whose long career in the automotive industry includes experience as leader of the Special Vehicle Team at Ford and senior management roles at Jaguar, Nissan and Infiniti. This background gave Scarpello the experience and deep knowledge of the many automotive industry disciplines, from manufacturing to marketing, needed to start a car company of his own.

How many employees are there at Revology?

As of May 2024, the company has 143 employees, including a six-member leadership team with extensive OEM experience from brands including Ford, Nissan, Honda, General Motors, Stellantis (formerly Fiat-Chrysler), Mercedes-Benz, Lucid Motors, and others.

How many cars have been delivered so far, and how many cars are in production?

As of May 2024, Revology Cars had delivered over 223 cars to enthusiasts in twenty countries throughout North and South America, Europe and Asia.  At any given time, the company has 25-30 cars in production.  All cars built to date are listed on our Registry page.  To see our builds, please check our Revology Registry page.

What is the production lead time and is there any backlog?

Vehicle production takes 24 weeks.  The backlog varies, but typically a new order will start production in 4-8 weeks, for a total order-to-delivery time of 28-32 weeks.

What is the warranty coverage?

The Revology Mustang bumper-to-bumper warranty is for one year with unlimited mileage. In addition, the powertrain (engine, transmission, and rear end) carries a two-year warranty and the body is covered for five years against rust and corrosion.

Will Revology offer reproductions of other generation Mustangs and/or Shelbys in the future?

As a rule, we don’t talk about future products.  However, we are here to serve our customers, so we will build whatever our customers want.  If there is enough demand for the later models, we will build them.

Does Revology sell parts?*

We regret that we are not able to sell parts at the present time, as we are focused on meeting customer demand for our new replica rolling chassis and restored original vehicles.  However, we recognize that many Mustang restomod builders worldwide want access to properly engineered and carefully matched components and systems that operate in harmony to deliver an unbeatable combination of performance, reliability, drivability, and comfort, with improved safety, and we are committed to re-launching our parts division, Revology Performance, prior to the end of 2024.  

Does Revology build hot rods and custom cars?

No. Revology is not a hot rod shop. We are a manufacturer of new replica rolling chassis.  Our vehicles are built in low volume series production, which delivers the highest quality product at a price that represents the best value in the industry.

How can I have confidence that the quality and workmanship will be of the highest standard?

We encourage prospective clients to visit our Orlando factory and see for themselves what makes Revology different from anyone else in this industry.  All Revology Mustangs use the same set of proven components and go through a standardized build process.  We have made a large investment in the development of our 1965-68 Mustang platform to ensure the highest quality, reliability, and durability.  Revology has produced more 1960s Mustangs than anyone since Ford in the 1960s.  As they say, do one thing, do it well.

Can I test drive a Revology Mustang prior to buying one?

Yes, we highly encourage prospective clients to visit our factory and test drive a Revology vehicle.  However, availability is limited, so it is important to arrange an appointment in advance.   

What is the payment schedule?

Payment is made in three equal installments. The first 1/3 payment is made upon submission of the initial production order.  The next 1/3 payment is made when the body is painted, and the final payment is made upon delivery.

What is the resale value of the Revology Mustang?

The Revology Mustang has excellent resale value.  Most Revology Mustangs and Shelby GTs are sold through our Certified Pre-Owned program, and typically retain 90-110% of their original price after two years and 2,500 miles. Resale value is a function of supply and demand.  We know we build a luxury product and exclusivity is an important part of that.  We will always be demand-driven, not supply-driven.

Where can I have my Revology Mustang serviced?

Revology Mustangs can be serviced at any Ford dealership, and indeed at virtually any independent shop that is capable of servicing both early and late model Mustangs.

Where can I have warranty work performed?

Warranty work can be completed at any participating Ford dealership in the U.S. and Canada or any independent shop that is capable of servicing both early and late model Mustangs.  Warranty claims are paid by Revology directly to the service provider so the process is seamless for the customer.

What engines do you offer? 

Revology Mustangs and Shelby GTs are available with the 460hp Ford 5.0L Ti-VCT DOHC “Coyote” engine or the 710hp Ford/ROUSH Performance 5.0L Ti-VCT DOHC “Coyote” supercharged and intercooled engine.

Would you install the engine of my choice? 

No.  The Revology Mustangs and Shelbys were designed and tested with the current production engines and are only available with these engines.

What type of fuel does the Revology Mustang use?

All Revology Mustangs are designed to run on Premium Unleaded fuel, 91 octane rating or higher.

What type of mileage can I expect?

Revology has not run the official EPA cycle, but our test cars typically turn in an average of 16-18 mpg combined city and highway, depending on how they are driven.

What colors are available?

Virtually all of the original Mustang colors, from the 1960s to the present, are available. Custom colors can be specified at extra cost.

After I make my first installment payment, what assurance do I have that my car will actually be built on time, as specified?

Revology Cars will keep you notified of the production status of your car through a password-protected owner portal. When your car goes into production, photos will be posted periodically so you can monitor progress. Just like in the Ford factory, all cars are assigned a factory build sheet when the customer order is signed off.  All cars will be built strictly according to the factory build sheet.

Does Revology offer factory tours?

No.  As much as we would like to, at this time, we are not able to accommodate the many requests from Mustang and classic car enthusiasts for a factory tour.
