"Coachbuilt muscle car" really isn't a thing. If you have enough money to want a full custom body on your vehicle, you're likely thinking of something expensive and European. Muscle-car customizers generally work with a lower budget (and still impressive results.) Today, Los Angeles dealer-tuner Galpin Motor Sports unveiled its unique venture into that uncharted space with a car it's calling the Rocket, penned by the man behind the Fisker Karma.
The Galpin-Fisker Rocket starts with a 2015 Ford Mustang GT massaged to 725 hp, then draped in a hand-built, carbon-fiber skin designed by Henrik Fisker. The founder of the failed, eponymous automaker, Fisker had previously penned coachbuilt variants of BMWs, and approached Galpin in August with the design of the Rocket.
