It’s getting close to the
holidays and what better gift than a classic convertible Mustang. Nothing is like the wind in your hair and the
sound of a true muscle car in your ear. This car is a great example of what cruising is all about. Listed below is a snapshot of what I have
done to this beautiful car.
General –
I
am the second owner of this car. I
purchased it in 1991 with 38, 000 miles and started to restore it. I put in a rebuilt engine and transmission (0
miles) and painted it. It was then
garaged, only to be driven about once a year. In 2001, I got serious about restoring it and this is where most of the
upgrades have come from. It currently
has a complete power steering setup installed; it will come with a complete
manual steering setup also, so you can decide which you prefer. I have put approx. 783 miles on the car since
2001. I have invested substantially more
in this car than asking price. I have
left out many items that have been fixed or replaced for length sake, however, nearly everything in it or on it has been replaced. It is a blast to drive and gets lots of
looks.
Engine –
Rebuilt
302 and C-4 automatic (approx. 783 miles); Edelbrock carb., cam and intake;
Mallory Unilite distributor; Canton windage tray and oil pan; Carter fuel pump;
new 3 core radiator with electric fan; Hedman ceramic shorty hedders connected
to 2 ½ inch aluminized exhaust pipes with Flowmaster delta flow mufflers.
Chassis
–
Power steering with rebuilt pump, reaction valve and cylinder. All new tie rods and upper and lower control
arms. Power front disc brakes; 1 1/8
inch front sway bar, 7/8 inch rear sway bar. 620 lb. front coil springs (which lowers front 1 inch), 5 leaf mid-eye
rear springs (which lowers rear 1 inch); rebuilt 8 inch 3:55 open rearend; KYB
shocks. Both driver and passenger side
front and rear floor pans replaced.
Interior –
New
dash, speedometer and bezel; original Rally-Pac (clock works occasionally);
original full length center console; Mach 1 seats (seats are black cloth and
velvet); wood steering wheel; new convertible top and carpet; aftermarket AM/FM/MP3
radio (still have original, if wanted).
Exterior
–
Paint is a candy apple red put on in 1991 when I first started this project, so
there are some rock and accidental chips. The hood and side scoops are added on, this is not a Shelby car, the hood scoop is functional and
the sides are not. The underside is
undercoated.
Wheels –
Edelbrock
454s polished 17x8 with 225/45R-17 tires.
It is a shame to see it
sitting in my garage not being driven, which is why I have decided to sell
it. The car looks good in pictures, but you must see and hear it in person to really get the true beauty.
If you have any questions or
want more pictures don’t hesitate to e-mail me and I will answer them promptly.
Thank you.
