Drop dead color combo, a performance motor, a 4-speed and air
conditioning! What a combination. Very nicely restored from the
ground up. True "A" code designating it was born a performance 289,
well it has a bit more performance now!
EXTERIOR: The classic fastback design is sleek. The body on this
one is arrow straight with no visible rust or damage. They deleted
all emblems making it even more sleek. The Raven Black paint is
polished smooth and glossy. You can shave in its reflection. It was
dressed up with Shelby style mirrors and a billet grill. Of course,
those sparkling chrome wheels really pop. They are staggered size
US Mags, 17s in front, 18s in back and are wearing performance
sneakers.
INTERIOR: Wow, the red is amazing against the black! To make it
even better it is a pony deluxe which includes molded door panels,
deluxe upholstery, and wood grain dash. It all looks new from
carpet to headliner. The rear seat folds flat and everything back
there looks great. The dash area is all restored. Interior lights
work. Let's not forget about that Hurst 4-speed sticking out of the
floor!
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Performance built 289 making 300+ hp. It has an
Edelbrock kit which includes aluminum heads and intake and a cam
kit with roller rockers. The air is sucked in through a Holley
Brawler 650 carb with electric choke and the air is blown out
through a set of tri-y headers. Upgraded Pertronix electronic
ignition system. It's dressed nicely with cast aluminum Ford Racing
valve covers and air cleaner. It features power steering and a dual
reservoir master cylinder. A new Classic Auto Air a/c system was
installed too. Everything else in the motor compartment looks new
and proper. It's even finished off with reproduction hoses and
clamps, Reproduction Autolite battery and the Fomoco washer fluid
bag is hooked up.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and jamb are painted slick.
New weatherstrip. Inside is clean metal painted black. Complete
with trunk mat, tire cover and spare. You know the back panel opens
into the interior on fastbacks.
UNDERSIDE: The front end steering and suspension looks completely
rebuilt and has an upgraded swaybar. The rear suspension was
replaced, it has lowering springs and new shocks. Upgraded with
drilled and slotted front disc brakes. E-brake is hooked up. The
fuel system was replaced. Custom aluminized exhaust with Flowmaster
mufflers and the tips exit through the valance. Looking up at the
motor it is fresh: new starter, alternator, fuel pump and a
Mororcraft oil filter. Correct 4-speed trans with a new clutch kit
and a Hurst shifter. A rebuilt driveshaft connects to a rebuilt
rear end with 3.50 posi gears. The floors and frame rails look rock
solid.
SERVICE: We inspected the car and aligned the power steering belt,
adjusted the carb, replaced speedometer gear in trans, adjusted the
turn signal canceler, adjusted and lubed the trunk latch and bled
the brakes.
Slick version of a classic Mustang. The colors are killer and make
it exciting to look at. The performance 289, 4-speed and a/c make
it a blast to drive!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to
assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are
answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video
that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are
displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car, make an
appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment
there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car,
your admission will be refunded, and you will be given a 1 year
membership.
