Vehicle Description
Calypso Coral exterior, Brown leather interior. 598ci Big Block
Ford V8, 6 speed manual transmission. Jon Kaase engine, No expense
spared, $200k plus invested. This is the Mustang dreams are made
of. This highly modified 1969 Mustang started life as a 351 car and
remained parked inside for 30+ years before the complete tear down
two years ago. Every piece of this car has been touched and every
nut and bolt has been replaced. Starting with the Calypso Orange
paint that was available from Ford for the year, the body is
straight as an arrow and was taken down to bare metal before paint.
The interior has been finished in quality brown leather with all
new seats, carpet, headliner, and dash. Dakota Digital gauges fill
the dash and keep you informed with style. Underneath this Mustang
is just as clean as on top. The front suspension consists of a
Heidts unit that includes beefy Wilwood disc brakes, coilover
shocks, tubular upper and lower control arms, and rack and pinion
steering. The rear also uses a Heidts independent rear suspension
unit that has inboard Wilwood disc brakes and coilover shocks. All
this makes this car handle unlike any other vintage car around.
Rolling stock includes a set of 20" US Mag forged wheels front and
rear with 315mm wide rear Continental tires. The engine is built to
have great street manners while still retaining a race background.
All specs and parts were acquired by long time professional engine
builder Jon Kaase. Assembly was done by Brian Maloof of Maloof
Racing in Carnesville, Ga. The engine started life as a new 429ci
big block Ford and then was machine to 598ci with an estimated
950hp. The transmission is the most popular Tremec T56 6 speed
manual with a high rated clutch and pressure plate. The exhaust
itself is a pure work of art. The car was taken to Kooks Headers
and Exhaust in North Carolina. Everything was done in-house and is
completely custom from headers to tail pipes. Some other parts
consist of a new steering column, oversized aluminum radiator,
interior nut and bolt sets, weather stripping and rubbers,
re-chromed or replaced chrome trim and bumpers, windshield, and
much more. This build is only 2 years old and has only been driven
a handful of times. The owner has over $200,000 invested so his
lost is your gain. If you are looking for a street machine that can
win races or car shows, this is your car. Come out to see this
beauty in person today!
