Vehicle Description
When it comes to universal appeal, few classics bring the smiles
like Ford's legendary Mustang. Of course, universal appeal equates
to high demand. High demand means big prices. Big prices beg the
question: is original always better? And most enthusiasts answer
that question with a slick, fully-sorted resto-mod like this
razor-sharp convertible. Professionally detailed and ready to
rumble, this awesome drop-top is the beneficiary of a clean,
ground-up restoration that transformed a stylish weekend warrior
into a world class cruiser. Thanks to an SVT-tuned motor, a
thoroughly tweaked suspension and a stylish leather interior, it'll
keep you smiling all day long. And, if you're looking for a highly
desirable muscle car that can provide years of open road fun, you
won't even have to give the word "original" a second thought!
THOROUGHBRED LOOKS
Steal a glance at this Mustang's rock-solid body and you'll see
what high quality craftsmanship that's performed by a dedicated
group of individuals truly looks like. Those individuals knuckle
down at a place called Horse Heaven in Benton City, Washington.
And, with the help of six-figure financing, they transformed this
tired old mule into a show stopping thoroughbred. The car's high
quality reboot began with a complete strip and first rate
metalwork. Once intense labor had blended that metalwork into
excellent fit and finish, smooth black two-stage was detailed with
an attractive tan top. And eventually, this posh pony emerged as a
first rate classic that mixes the best design of Ford's Iacocca era
with the modern build techniques of a top notch restoration
shop.
It's obvious that Ford has always sweated the details on the
Mustang. And with its completely new brightwork and bolt-on pieces,
this drop-top presents a professionally finished appearance that
goes far beyond nice paint. At the front of the car, traditional
halogen headlights anchor a 'bomber sight' grille between a "F O R
D" branded hood, a triple-plated bumper and bullet-style parking
lamps. Behind that hood, pristine glass floats amid bright
stainless wipers, straight stainless frames and classy factory
mirrors. At the sides of that glass, a traditionally sculpted
profile lays the groundwork for new Cobra emblems, classic chrome
handles and stainless-trimmed coves. And at the back of that
profile, another triple-plated bumper reflects fresh taillights, a
detailed fuel filler, small reverse lamps and polished Magnaflow
exhaust.
THOROUGHBRED POWER
Hoist the Kansas-flat hood and the car transforms from classic to
state-of-the-art in literally the blink of an eye. Looking
completely natural between slick, body-matched fenders is a NOS 4.6
liter, DOHC V8 that twists a solid 320 horsepower into 317 lb./ft.
of gravel-mincing torque! You see, the key to a great resto-mod is
taking the virtues of a classic factory design and incorporating
modern mechanical elements that are as stylish as they are
seamless. And nowhere is that philosophy more evident than in this
Mustang's fully detailed engine bay. A long-time thoroughbred of
Ford's performance car stables, SVT's hand-built 'mod motor'
utilizes tumble-style heads, a fixed-runner intake, aggressive,
high performance cams and a Teksid aluminum block to create an
unbeatable combination of smooth cruising and spirited performance.
Twist the key and the cylinders rumble to life, singing baritone
notes through brazen Magnaflow mufflers. Goose the throttle and a
Ford air tube funnels wind into big combustion chambers, zinging
the engine toward redline. Drop the clutch and the car settles into
an anxious gait, backing killer performance with docile street
manners and class-leading efficiency.
THOROUGHBRED ATHLETICISM
The bottom of this awesome Mustang is just as impressive as its
slick exterior and smooth engine bay. Behind the mean motor you'll
find a fresh Tremec 5-speed, which turns a narrowed 8.8-inch Ford
axle. That proven drivetrain hangs in a custom chassis that's
reinforced with sturdy traction bars, welded subframe connectors
and tubular control arms. Stopping and turning is a cinch thanks to
power rack and pinion steering and a quartet of modern discs.
Exhaust is handled by large, true-dual pipes that snake around an
X-shaped crossover, great sounding Magnaflow mufflers and polished
stainless tips. Power rolls through 17-inch Magnum 500s, which spin
235/40 Toyo Proxes around galloping horse center caps. And every
one of this Ford's details, from its beefy sway bar to its giant
stainless fuel tank, has been carefully planned and professionally
executed.
THOROUGHBRED STYLE
Pop the car's doors and you'll find an attractive, well-rounded
interior that puts a new spin on an old favorite. Pony-themed seats
hang fresh leather covers over cool Scott Drake belts. In front of
those seats, an attractive, wood-trimmed dash founds Auto Meter
American Muscle telemetry next to a direct-fit head unit and
Ford-branded climate control. Below that dash, clean black carpet
balances Mustang-branded floor mats between traditional stainless
sills and a stylish chrome shifter. At the edge of that carpet,
two-tone side panels hang elegant handles above simple armrests. In
front of the driver, a deluxe steering wheel spins a sculpted wood
rim around a modern, tilting column. And behind the passengers, a
fully restored trunk hides a clean plaid mat beneath a custom
convertible cowl.
There's only one problem with this awesome Mustang: if you want it,
everyone else will too. Well-done resto-mods have become some of
our fastest sellers as more and more enthusiasts discover the

good looks, tastefully updated interior and thoroughly modern
