Vehicle Description
More often than not, the sad thing about owning a documented
collector car is that you have to lock it in a bubble and drive it
with the haste of a Brass Era survivor. Because of an innate
aversion to that sort of 'fine print', many enthusiasts are
beginning to rethink the old purist's adage: "original is always
better". And hobbyists who actually enjoy cruising their vintage
hardware are beginning to buy slick, fully sorted classics like
this incredible Mustang pro-tourer. Backing a smooth Aluminator V8
with a Viper-spec 6-speed, 4.11 gears and a full Detroit Speed
suspension, this magnificent muscle car undoubtedly puts the must
have in Mustang. With its tastefully customized interior, the car
emphasizes the touring part of pro-tourer. And, thanks to a
detailed restoration that dresses a fantastic stance in 3-piece
Forgelines and Ferrari Red 2-stage, this Ford certainly breaks par
when it comes to one-car parades!
TIMELESS THOROUGHBRED
As a rule, the best restorations begin as solid cars, and
naturally, this choice Mustang was stripped all the way down to
bare metal at the dawn of its build. It's pretty easy to see that
intense focus was put on the car's legendary body, with the
aforementioned metal finessed for excellent fit. And all that form
was eventually bathed in high quality Axalta Rosso Corsa 2-stage.
Well-chosen details begin with a carbon fiber splitter, which joins
a mirrored bumper to frame a shaved grille and modern H4
headlights. Sculpted fenders point the eye to a sleek, emblem-free
profile that centers polished handles and color-keyed mirrors
between custom integrated quarter scoops and filled marker lamps. A
refreshingly factory hood fronts capped wipers and smoked glass
that's sealed in polished frames. And at the back of the car, a
shaved valance joins a second mirrored bumper to frame a billet
fuel filler and sequential taillights.
COYOTE POWER
Hoist this coupe's long hood and you'll find a 5.0 liter, DOHC
Coyote V8 that twists easy horsepower into miles of pavement
scorching torque! Officially named 'Coyote Aluminator', and not far
removed from the engine that powers the current Mustang GT, this
state-of-the-art rocket makes excellent use of a forged crank, Boss
302 bearings, ARP-secured Manley H-beams and Grafal-coated Mahle
pistons straight out of the box. At the top of the all-aluminum
mill, a remote filter element, supplied by JLT Performance, feeds a
factory throttle body, supplied by Ford Racing. That throttle leads
a short-runner, high-RPM Cobra Jet intake, which shades factory
engineered heads that are built with Boss 302 springs. Breathing is
optimized by custom stainless headers, supplied by Concord, North
Carolina's ProFabrication. A Roush Yates serpentine drive spins a
requisite Roush Yates alternator opposite a low-mount AC
compressor. Ample lubrication is provided by a deep-sump road race
oil pan. And a big C&R radiator, seated in front of large SPAL
puller fans, provides plenty of first-rate cooling. The svelte
powerplant is extremely tidy, with sleeved wiring, fresh hoses and
carbon fiber-tinged cam covers concealing most of its factory
silver block. And the car's Satin Black engine bay is finished with
thoughtful accessories like billet fluid reservoirs, Roush Yates
fuel rails and snazzy Eddie Motorsports hood supports.
YESTERDAY'S LOOKS, TODAY'S ATHLETICISM
Behind the car's buttery powerplant, a close-ratio, Viper-spec
Tremec T56 6-speed spins a lightweight aluminum driveshaft. That
tube twists a fresh Ford 9-inch that's finished with a fluid pump,
a Truetrac differential and big, 4.11 gears. That versatile
drivetrain rolls on a Detroit Speed QUADRALink rear-clip, which
features a thick torsion bar, tubular control arms and JRi
coil-over-shocks. That clip pushes a Detroit Speed Aluma-Frame
front-half, which centers rack-and-pinion steering between a second
torsion bar, more tubular control arms and more JRi
coil-over-shocks. At the corners of those bones, drilled and
slotted rotors thread two Baer 4-piston calipers behind two Baer
6-piston calipers. At the center of the car's glossy floors,
Calico-coated pipes shuttle spent gases through an X-shaped
crossover, tidy mufflers and oval, side-exit tips. Power meets the
pavement through 3-piece Forgelines, which spin 295/35ZR18 BF
Goodrich g-Force Rivals in front of 335/30ZR18 BF Goodrich g-Force
Rivals. And this Ford's excellent build is spiced with first class
details like a Powermaster XS Torque starter and a big stainless
fuel tank that gulps through a requisite CTS-V pump.
TASTEFUL AND CLASSIC
Open the door to this awesome Mustang and you'll find a fully
restored cockpit that mixes the best elements of Ford's Black
bucket seat interior with choice customization. Front-and-center,
reclining carbon fiber accented Recaro buckets string 5-point
Schroth Racing harnesses beneath a 4-point roll bar. In front of
those seats, a dual-cowl dash hangs slick carbon fiber trim around
New Vintage telemetry and controls for modern air conditioning.
Below that dash, a monochromatic console anchors a booted Hurst
shifter in front of hidden Custom Autosound audio that's threaded
to six Rockford Fosgate speakers. Carbon fiber-trimmed door panels
front power-operated windows. And the driver spins a Momo
Competition steering wheel around a tilting Ididit column and small
Wilwood pedals.
Very few classics possess the elite combination of performance and
appeal offered by this incredible Mustang. You're looking at an
athletic, purpose-built head-turner, and, make no mistake, when
this Ford's tires hit the pavement, that's exactly what you'll get!
Don't miss your chance to claim this world class pro-tourer.
