Vehicle Description
History of the ASC Mclaren Mustang
Engineer Paul Muscat commissioned American Specialty Cars (ASC,
formerly American Sunroof Corp) to undertake the conversions, and
they partnered with McLaren, who was already doing suspension mods
to the Mustang. Fast forward to 1987, and the year in which ASC
McLaren went full Mustang. and benefits not only from its custom
bodywork and bespoke ragtop, but also from a slew of improvements
Ford gave the pony car line that year.
Our Mustang still looks pretty fresh, the SILVER paint
demonstrating no obvious flaws and all of the bespoke ASC McLaren
bits remaining intact. From a distance it resembles your standard
GT, however up close you will notice the subtle changes. The
windshield rake is more aggressive and surround is body color, as
opposed to black, the front grille plate sports an offset embossed
ASC McLaren rather than the centered chrome pony, and the
taillights also differ from the louvered lights of the stock
GT.
The major change was the replacement of the back seat with a hard
tonneau'd well for the convertible mechanism and top. That BURGUNDY
top sports three plastic windows unlike the factory Mustang. The
top is far better integrated than Ford's factory option, and
eliminates the back seats and in their place are a pair of
footwell-located storage bins one-upping the factory GT which
limits you to the trunk or puny glovebox for covered storage. And
for two, there's plenty of space as both driver and passenger get
premium styled leather-covered sport seats.
Ford's evergreen 5.0 HO V8 302 received a larger throttle body, as
well as E7TE heads from the F-series trucks, and TRW forged
pistons. All those changes were good for 225-bhp and 300 lb-ft of
torque, which should give this McLaren, serious go to match its
show
.
Our very low mileage beautiful Silver outside with burgundy leather
trimmed interior and a New matching Burgundy convertible top is a
stunning combination.
