Vehicle Description
It's a great time to be a Mustang fan at RK Motors Charlotte! Over
the past few months, we've watched a roster of thoroughbred ponies
trot through our doors. And, increasingly, that stock is
transitioning from historic, numbers-matching showpieces to slick,
fully-sorted resto-mods like this brilliant 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 first class bruiser.
And, thanks to a fuel injected stroker motor, a thoroughly tweaked
suspension and a stylish leather interior, it'll keep you smiling
all day long. Looking for a highly desirable muscle car that can
provide years of open road fun? Time to celebrate the unrelenting
swagger of old school Motor City muscle!
IN THE HOUSE OF THE KOLOR PEARL
More timeless and striking than ever, this glowing Mustang
resto-mod is the beneficiary of a detailed, ground-up restoration
that likely took years to complete. That meticulous reboot reflects
beauty in the form of epic House Of Kolor Tangelo Pearl two-stage.
And that two-stage looks especially fetching under a roster of
tailored details and pearl Shelby top stripes. At the front of the
car, a traditional chrome bumper guards traditional headlights,
clean parking lamps and an ornate GT grille. Behind that bumper, a
smooth profile is shaved of everything but polished factory door
handles. A Shelby-style hood floats bold "FORD" lettering opposite
stainless-trimmed glass, polished wipers and tight black vinyl. And
at the back of the car, seamless quarters lead a second chrome
bumper that guards factory-style taillights, a GT fuel filler and a
seamless roll pan.
PERFECTING THE 351
Angle the hood and you'll find 408 cubic inches of rowdy Ford
stroker motor that's been hardwired with Holley Sniper fuel
injection. A satin air cleaner drops wind through a muted Weiand
Stealth intake. That intake feeds hot Air Flow Research heads,
which wrap lightweight aluminum castings around 2.20 intake valves
and 1.60 exhaust valves. Those heads float fabricated and polished
valve covers between a stainless breather and a COMP hydraulic cam.
Stout 9 to 1 compression gets sparked by MSD 6 AL-2 ignition, which
shoots shock between an MSD Blaster coil, an MSD Pro-Billet
distributor and loomed MSD Super Conductor plug wires. Billet
brackets join billet pulleys to spin an Edelbrock water pump next
to a polished alternator. That pump fills an aluminum AFCO radiator
that's outfitted with a polished expansion tank and a big SPAL
puller fan. Spent gases are jettisoned through custom shorty
headers. And overall, the car's sedate, Satin Black engine
compartment is very well done, featuring top notch ancillaries like
an enlarged oil pan and a quality Wilwood master cylinder.
BORN TO RUN
The bottom of this awesome Mustang is just as impressive as its
slick exterior and tidy engine bay. Behind the mean motor, a tough
C4 automatic transmission makes excellent use of a mild street
converter. A 9-inch Ford axle spins power through a Traction-Lok
differential, 3.55 gears and 31-spline shafts. That proven
drivetrain pushes a custom Torque Arm rear-clip that's garnished
with a sturdy Panhard Bar and QA-1 coil-over-shocks. Opposite that
clip, a Heidts Mustang II front-half cages two more QA-1 coil-overs
in tubular control arms. Naturally, that kit is led by
rack-and-pinion steering. At the corners, polished Wilwood calipers
squeeze drilled and slotted rotors. Exhaust is handled by custom,
2.5-inch stainless pipes that snake through an H-shaped crossover
and great sounding MagnaFlow mufflers. Power rolls through American
Racing Shelby Cobras, which spin 225/50ZR17 BF Goodrich g-Force
Sports in front of 275/40ZR18 BF Goodrich g-Force Sports. And every
one of this Ford's details, from its armored transmission pan to
its 15-gallon fuel tank, has been carefully planned and
professionally executed.
CUSTOM STYLE
Pop the doors and you'll find a lovingly customized interior that's
both attractive and well-rounded. Reimagined buckets join a factory
bench under pony-branded vinyl that's equal part black and equal
part cream. A custom, body-matched dash hangs a full suite of Auto
Meter Phantom II telemetry around a modern Alpine head unit and
Street Rod heat. A custom console floats a serious B&M Pro
Ratchet shifter next to convenient cupholders. Handsome side panels
frame crisp Kenwood kick speakers at the sides of premium carpet.
The driver spins a polished and half-wrapped steering wheel. And
out back, a clean trunk hides a big fuel cell between a Kicker sub
and a relocated Optima battery.
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
thrill of taking their dream cars to the street. With its classic
good looks, tastefully updated interior and thoroughly modern
mechanicals, this Ford's appeal is universally strong. Call, click
