Vehicle Description
1993 Ford Mustang Notchback
Contrary to popular belief, there is no such thing as a 1964�
Mustang. Starting from serial No. #001 - the car inadvertently sold
to Stanley Tucker - all the cars produced had 1965 VIN codes. There
is a gap of 80,000 to 100,000 in the 1965 VINs around June-July
1964 that coincides with the switch from a generator on the engines
to an alternator. The gap is considered by many Mustang aficionados
to be the dividing line between '64� and '65 models.
For consignment a car that has not only seen the street but also
the track and has laid down 10.20 elapsed time passes. With a new
engine with speed and power upgrades a plenty, this car is now a
pocket rocket Foxbody Stang, with a sting. A built 408ci stroker V8
engine now graces the bay, along with a pair of racing seats in the
interior, and Centerline wheels with huge rear tires, street lethal
if you will.
Exterior
This specialized dual action coupe is painted in blue metallic and
has straight steel and fiberglass panels which mind their gaps. A
body matching integrated front bumper with a few chip offs, tinted
windows with black surrounds, and some rectangular headlights, are
framed by a large reverse scooped style hood with pins to secure it
and some 5.8 badges thrown on for good measure. This hood leads
back to a custom wiper cowl with twin scoops and mesh grating.
Standard LX style wraparound tail lights are just below the pinned
on rear trunk deck, and above another body matching rear bumper
with some chips to match the front. Centerline racing wheels are on
the rear and for the front we see MT 5 spoke racing wheels. The
fronts are wrapped by skinny 165/80R15 tires, and one the rear
315/60R15 Mickey Thompson ET Street rear drag rubber. There is
nothing unassuming about this little blue Fox, it's purpose is to
do one thing and do it well...go straight and do it fast fast
fast!
Interior
Framed with a 10-point roll cage, racing seats with 5-point belts,
(an extra seat for the passenger side is included), and a litany of
important monitoring gauges, and level indicators, this interior is
all for the straight line. Black carpet covers the floors and the
area where the rear seat used to reside. The steering wheel airbag
is still there on the original steering wheel and fronts the
original gauge cluster. A Hurst shifter sits directly in front of
the dash and is within reach for the tire spinning. Wrapping up the
interior are factory installed black door panels in black vinyl but
still retaining working power window and lock switches. All
business in here.
Drivetrain
The consignor stated 408ci V8 stroker engine now resides in the
minimalistic engine bay. This block is adorned with Canfield
aluminum heads with 2.05" intake valves, a custom grind solid
roller camshaft. Up top is a Holley HP 4bbl carburetor feeding
copious amounts of air and fuel through an aluminum intake
manifold. Bolted to the back of this monster mill is a Trans
Specialties C4 3-speed automatic transmission with a 9.5" Art Carr
racing converter. Putting all that power to the ground is a
narrowed Ford 8.8" rear axle with Moser 33 spline axles, a Moser
Spool and a 4.10 gearset. I'm sweating with anticipation on the
test track, which will be a straight-line version today! Buckle up,
I'm feeling goosey with my boot!
Undercarriage
A ladder bar rear suspension with an adjustable coil over rear
shock and spring conversion handles all the power you can throw at
it to keep the tires planted. Up front a tubular K-member and
coilovers provide the ride. Aerospace disc brakes are on all 4
corners to help you stop on a dime after your blistering pass down
the 1/4 mile and headers send spent fossils through Flowmaster
mufflers before ending in front of the rear axle.
Drive-Ability
It fired up with a thunderous roar, and our test driver who doubles
as my sidekick decoder took her for a spin, and spin it did,
especially for the rear tires. He said launching was awesome, and
of course did not get close to any top speed, but it is reported it
goes like hell. He certainly agreed with our consignor when he
returned and said, "this car can run 10.20's easily".
Take a Fox body and spend the money on it to make it go straight,
and you now have a super 'Stang, a Muscle Mustang, and a powerful
pony. No stone left unturned on this one, an excellent build with
super quality parts, and all for the purpose to smoke the
competition on the straight line. Mission accomplished...this
description will self-destruct in 10 seconds!
