Vehicle Description
Want some incredible Ford muscle? Want it in a package that doesn't
require red ropes and a car bubble? Well, as the old saying goes:
"Car culture starts where the assembly line stops". And now that
more and more authentic, numbers-matching classics are being
confined to private collections, enthusiasts are filling the void
with creations like this killer Mustang resto-mod. The beneficiary
of a ground-up, nut-and-bolt restoration, this neat notchback wraps
a spry 302/5-speed drivetrain in bold, Bullitt-esque aesthetics
that dramatically emphasize form. If you've always dreamed of
owning a choice pony car, but don't want the inherent stress that
comes with authenticity, here's the perfect solution!
ALL BLUE, ALL BUSINESS
The beneficiary of a three-year nut-and-bolt restoration that was
completed by Gordon's Classic Restorations of Dallas, Georgia, this
choice resto-mod is constructed of largely original sheetmetal
that's been fully blasted, carefully prepped and highly polished.
By fully blasted, we mean media-blasted bare. By carefully prepped,
we mean straightened at the hands of professionals. And by fully
polished, we mean coated in sophisticated Nightmist Blue two-stage
that's both classy and unique. At the front of that pigment, a
polished bumper splits traditional headlights, traditional parking
lamps and a factory grille that's been shaved of its horse. Behind
that grille, a stainless-trimmed hood props an aggressive scoop in
front of muted wipers and a stainless-trimmed greenhouse. At the
sides of that glass, polished drip rails shade a sculpted profile
that's been shaved of everything but a factory mirror and factory
handles. And at the back of that profile, a second polished bumper
splits an ornate fuel filler, bright taillights and polished
exhaust tips.
PERFECTING THE 302
Hoist the hood and you'll find 302 cubic inches of Ford Roller
crate engine that was acutely tuned during the car's detailed
restoration. At the top of that machined and seasoned mill, a
billet-capped air cleaner funnels wind into a coated Holley
4-barrel that's wired to an electronic choke. The resulting
air/fuel mixture makes its way from an Edelbrock Performer RPM
intake to iron GT40 heads. Those heads prop stylish Edelbrock
covers on stainless valves, hardened guides, screw in studs and
Manley chromoly pushrods. The Jet Black block hides a balanced
rotating assembly that's built with an Eagle crank, Eagle I-beam
rods and high performance pistons. A custom-grind COMP hydraulic
roller cam works well with a hot HEI distributor, a double-roller
timing set and proven Taylor plug wires. Spent gases are jettisoned
through coated long-tube headers. Cooling is provided by an
aluminum Northern radiator. Oiling gets handled by a high quality
Melling pump. Construction included a roster of first rate details,
like ARP bolts, performance bearings and hand-filed performance
rings. And overall, the car's smoothed and body-matched engine
compartment is exceptionally well done, featuring ancillaries like
a proven Optima battery, a contrasted Edelbrock breather and a
chrome dipstick.
BUILT TO ENJOY!
At the bottom of this pony, a trusty Tremec TKO500 5-speed twists
torque to an 8-inch Ford axle that turns fun, 3.55 gears. That
pumpkin pushes a lowered independent front and solid axle rear
suspension that's supplemented with Scott Drake springs and
Bilstein shocks. Braking is class, with 4-piston Wilwood calipers
leading rebuilt factory drums. Borgeson power steering dials in the
turns. The aforementioned headers dump spent gases into aluminized
pipes, which align an H-shaped crossover with buff Flowmaster
mufflers. And everything rolls on American Racing Torq Thrust IIs,
which spin smoked chrome reflections inside 225/45ZR17 BF Goodrich
g-Force Sports and 235/45ZR17 BF Goodrich g-Force Sports.
CLASSIC DONE RIGHT
Pop this 'stang's doors and you'll find a crisp Parchment interior
that's clean, contrasting and exceptionally cool. Stainless-trimmed
buckets both look and feel great. In front of those thrones, a
stylish dash frames bright AutoMeter telemetry that keeps precise
tabs on the car's vitals, and modern JVC audio that jolts big
Kicker DS speakers. At the floor, fade-free carpet frames a short
Hurst shifter. Opposite that stick, stainless-trimmed door panels
hang small armrests beneath polished handles. And the driver spins
a thick, Mustang-themed steering wheel.
Fully sorted and ready to cruise, this impressive Ford is a
timeless take on the traditional pony car premise. With great
performance, a classic driving experience and killer looks, it's
the kind of car that'll have you thanking yourself with every walk
to the garage. Ready to own one of the hottest muscle cars on the
planet? Your Mustang is waiting!
