Vehicle Description
It sure is a great time to be a pro-touring fan at RK Motors
Charlotte! Over the past few weeks all kinds of high-dollar builds
have rolled through our doors. And the most recent addition, this
killer Mustang, might be the nicest one yet. It's easy to see why
with sinister Charcoal highlighting a supercharged 302/5-speed
drivetrain, a thoroughly modernized chassis and supple red leather.
And, in fact, the amount of detail that went in to this Ford's
construction is simply remarkable, as there's virtually no piece
that hasn't been smoothed, polished, massaged or upgraded in some
way. If you're in the market for classic good looks and spectacular
modern performance, this clean Ford is your best option!
BODYWORK & TRIM
The beneficiary of a professional restoration that was completed by
the staff of Timeless Kustoms of Camarillo, California, this slick
pony features a seamless layer of Charcoal base that's highlighted
by a satin hood stripe and sealed in glossy clear. Take one look
down the sides of the car's laser-straight body and it becomes very
obvious that great care was taken to ensure every panel is aligned
to better-than-factory standards. Step closer to that body's
mirror-like pigment and check out its straight and ripple-free
surfaces, which are a product of both clean OEM sheetmetal and high
quality replacement panels. Grab the pivotal pieces of that
well-adjusted sheetmetal and experience the kind of excellent fit
that's right at home reflecting a summertime car show. Then step
back to admire one very well done pro-tourer that's built to
exacting specifications.
Back in the day, Ford designers made sure every year of the first
generation Mustang had plenty of visual sizzle. And in the 21st
century, it doesn't get much better than this drop-top's masterful
combination of aggressive accents and well-placed trim. At the
front of the car, a monochromatic mesh grille centers HELLA driving
lamps between modern headlights, a Shelby-style valance and an
aggressive chin spoiler. Behind that grille, a shaved hood anchors
a small scoop in front of polished windshield wipers, tinted
greenhouse glass and color-keyed, stainless frames. At the sides of
that glass, small hot rod mirrors reflect a fully shaved profile.
And at the back of that profile, a shaved valence balances a
color-keyed bumper between a shaved trunk, flush-fit four-bar
taillights and monochromatic exhaust tips.
ENGINE
Hoist the car's snug fitting hood and you'll find 302 cubic inches
of Ford Performance Boss V8 that, thanks to a color-keyed Vortech
V1 supercharger, twists 486 rear-wheel horsepower into 487 lb./ft.
of stump-pulling torque! Cast from diesel-grade iron, and designed
with added material in key areas, Ford Performance Boss blocks are
far stronger than any Ford OE block ever produced. At the top of
the Jet Black mill, monochromatic pipes shuttle wind from a remote,
fender-mount air cleaner to a polished throttle body and sleek
Trick Flow intake. That intake coordinates with electronic fuel
injection to feed Edelbrock Victor Jr. heads. When that air/fuel
mixture floods the cylinders, a proven Motorcraft distributor
sequences fire through sleeved Prestolite plug wires. As that fire
turns into compression, resultant gases are jettisoned through
ceramic-coated, long-tube headers. That compression's cooling is
provided by a big radiator, which stores water in front of two
Perma-Cool puller fans. There's a modern serpentine system that
spins a painted alternator opposite a painted AC compressor. And
overall, the car's braced and polished engine compartment is
exceptionally well done, featuring first rate ancillaries like a
K&N breather, an Aeromotive fuel regulator, an Auto Gage
pressure gauge and clean Trick Flow valve covers.
DRIVETRAIN & SUSPENSION
At the bottom of this Mustang, a freshened undercarriage houses
solid, undercoated floors that are bolted to a roster of top-notch
components. Behind the snarling 302, a Tremec 3550 5-speed twists a
powder-coated Ford axle. That drivetrain rolls on a Total Control
Products 4-bar that's fitted with a 5/8-inch sway bar and
adjustable VariShock coil-overs. Opposite that 4-bar, a Total
Control Products front-half employs a 1-inch sway bar and two more
VariShock coil-overs. That hardware is augmented with Flaming River
power rack-and-pinion steering. Braking is equally class, with a
proven Wilwood master cylinder wrapping beefy Wilwood calipers
around four drilled and slotted rotors. The aforementioned headers
dump spent gases in to 3-inch, ceramic-coated pipes that employ an
H-shaped crossover in front of throaty Pypes Street Pro mufflers.
Torque strikes the ground through 18-inch Boze Pro Tourings that
twist 245/40 Nitto NT05s in front of 285/35 Nitto NT05s. And
everything, from the car's deep-sump oil pan to its welded subframe
connectors and quality Aeromotive fuel system, appears clean,
sorted and ready to pound the pavement.
INTERIOR
Crack the doors and you'll find a custom vinyl interior that wraps
modern style around modern safety and modern convenience. The
heavily bolstered seats, a familiar bench and mid-century,
caf�-style buckets, are framed by a custom low-profile roll cage
and 4-point Sparco harnesses. In front of those perches, an
attractive, 2-tone dash hangs racy Auto Meter telemetry to the left
of a Pioneer CD player and Vintage Air climate control. At the
sides of that dash, custom door panels mimic the style of original
factory fodder. Below those panels, muted sills stretch premium
carpet under metal foot pedals, style-matched mats and a
traditional Hurst shifter. In front of the driver, a simple Sparco
steering wheel spins a thick suede rim around a tilting column. And
behind the Accumat-wrapped cockpit, the car's fully finished trunk
stores a big Memphis Audio subwoofer and dual Memphis Audio
amps.
