Vehicle Description
Summers almost here! Check out this stunning Red on Red Mustang and
see why they are about the best-selling convertibles of all time.
They are sporty, handle well, and are just all-around fun to drive.
Everyone recognizes the classic good looks of an early 'Stang too,
so it's bound to attract attention wherever you go.
This car started life as a sweet ride with Fords unique 2041-A Lime
Gold paint. During its refresh and reconditioning, the decision was
made to be dramatic, so it was drenched in the glossy red paint you
see here. At the front of the car, a thin chrome bumper leads the
way with a galloping Mustang in the center of the grill just above
it. There are also factory fog lights dressed in their trick chrome
bezels on each side of the grill. The hood has a unique feature
with cutouts containing blinker indicators so that the driver can
see when they are operating. At the rear of the car, you have the
iconic 3 tail lights on each side dressed nicely in their chrome
bezels and surrounded by a thin chrome strip across the top, and
the straight as an arrow bumper below. Some splashes of flash also
trim the wheel wells and along the rocker panel. Chromed steel
wheels and Red Line tires are the perfect complement to this red
paint.
The interior of this car is a perfect combination of painted metal,
rich red upholstery, and fine chrome highlights. Open the door and
will immediately get the idea by checking out the horizontally
pleated door panel with its chrome pin stripe outlining it. Turn
your gaze to the seats, and you will find vertically pleated seats
that have an exposed chrome frame supporting the back. There is a
rich red boot to neatly dress the power convertible top while it is
down, and red carpets underlying the picture. A black two spoke
steering wheel with a Mustang center and a chrome half circle horn
ring sits in front of a dash panel that is hooded from the glare of
the sun by a vinyl dash pad. Two large and three small gauges are
nestled in a black panel trimmed in chrome that extends all the way
to the passenger side. A Kenwood stereo sits in the center with the
T-handle shifter for the automatic trans just below it.
Remember that decision to be dramatic made during the
reconditioning process? Well an upgrade to a 351 was one way to
ensure some drama when desired. These engines were torque monsters
just the way they were delivered from the factory, so a stock
rebuild was all that was needed to launch this light little ragtop
down the road with plenty of speed at the press of the go pedal. It
is nestled in a neat and clean engine bay and dressed in the
correct Ford Blue colors. A chrome air topper and embossed Ford
valve covers add a nice touch to the look. Power steering and power
brakes all around work through a front suspension of control arms
with coil springs with a sway bar, and in the back, leaf springs
with coil over shocks offer a bit of extra control to handle the
power from that 351. The rubber meets the road through 195/75R14
Red Line tires on all four corners mounted on those shiny chromed
wheels.
