Vehicle Description
This is a Chameleon car on multiple levels. Depending on how you
look at it, it's a Classic, or a Street rod. It's Old School, or
Current Gen. The paint of course, defines the term and looks
awesome. Check out the balance of respect for this original Pony
car, with select upgrades that change its character. No matter how
you look at it, this car is a winner.
As you approach this car from a distance, or as it drives by, the
paint will be the first thing you will notice. And the second, and
third. It was expertly applied and the effect as it transitions
from Gold through Purple is slick and smooth. But one of the
reasons it looks so good, is that it is highlighting the classic
lines of a Mustang. It catches the light around the headlights and
leading edge of the front fenders that are underlined by a thin
chrome bumper. The hood, with leading edge scoops, hood pins, and
vents, offers plenty of curves for the light to play off of. As it
transitions down the side of the car it is particularly dramatic
and resolves nicely as the fastback blends into the trunk. The
iconic triple taillights with a Mustang gas cap fit right in and
are underlined by another sharp looking bumper. Set it all on a set
of chrome 18" Weld Racing wheels, and you have the perfect blend of
Classic and Current.
That theme continues in the interior too. Open the door and you are
greeted by a classic Mustang interior that has been refurbished
with new black carpet and upholstery. There are pleated door panels
with splashes of chrome and the new vinyl on the seats looks like
it just rolled off the showroom floor. A deep dish, three spoke
steering wheel with a chrome Mustang center sits in front of a
black dash with fine chrome piping outlining the gauges. But then
we get to a few updates. There is tachometer mounted on one side of
the steering column with a clock on the other, also known in the
early Mustang world as a "Rally Pac." A stock looking Mustang radio
is really a face plate for a Custom Autosound head unit, and the
stock temperature controls for the ventilation system also control
the Vintage Air A/C with under dash vents. Mounted on the floor is
a shifter for the 5-speed manual transmission which hints at the
performance orientation of this car.
Pop the hood and some of that performance will be on display. More
Classic and Current here. This car was delivered with a 289
4-barrel from the factory. Lately it has been updated a bit and
there are tons of receipts on the engine build, so ask your
salesperson about them. It now sports a K&N air filter with a
Holley 4-barrel carb handling the fuel mixing duties. An Edelbrock
Performer RPM intake gets the mixture to trick heads that breath
much better than the original units and Magnaflow mufflers make it
sound great. MSD ignition components assure good spark and new
plugs, cap, and wires get the job done from there. The chassis and
suspension also received some upgrades with cross member bracing,
frame rail connectors, and with a couple of beefy sway bars added
to keep it cornering flat. New bushings and heavy-duty shocks help
it handle the extra cornering loads with grace and Wilwood 4-wheel
disc brakes provide the stopping power needed to haul it back down
from speed.
No matter how you look at it, this car is a winner. Come on down,
check it out, and you might decide to look at it as yours.
