This Mustang has it all! A ram air 428 paired with a 4 speed manual
plus upgraded steering and suspension makes it a blast to drive.
Even when it's parked, this fastback with all the goodies and
grabber yellow paint is exciting just to look at!
EXTERIOR: Scoops, spoilers, and stripes! The fastback is one of all
time best looking designs; add to all the dress up features like
rear window louvers and it is a knock out! Looking down the side of
the body it is 100% laser straight with smooth contours and crisp
lines. The panels are nicely aligned with consistent gaps that are
above average. The doors close easily with minimal effort. The
paint was applied with expert detail then polished to a smooth and
slick finish. The glass looks good plus the rubber seals and fuzzy
strips were replaced. The front grill, headlights and taillights
look like new. The bumpers were rechromed and the remaining trim
has a lustrous shine. I really like the reflective stripe going
down the side of the body. It's sitting on a set of 15" Magnum 500
wheels wrapped in Cooper Radial G/T tires.
INTERIOR: It has a deluxe interior featuring high back bucket
seats, molded door panels, wood grain trim and a console.
Everything has been replaced or restored with remarkable finishes.
Even the clock on the passenger side dash is working. It has a real
wood steering wheel plus seatbelts front and back. The am/fm stereo
appears to be original and in nice shape. The headliner, sun
visors, and carpeting were also replaced. The Hurst 4 speed manual
shifter is new and a blast to throw around. All the seats were
refinished and feel amazing. A complete and proper deluxe
interior!
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: That's a 428 stuffed in there! Power steering
and brakes along with a modernized air conditioning system also
fits under the hood. Well, the ram air didn't fit, which gives it
that cool shaker scoop protruding through the hood. An aluminum
radiator keeps it running cool. The battery is properly secured and
the squirters are hooked up. The underside of the hood was painted
slick just like the car. The fenderwells and firewall are neatly
painted satin black. Every nut and bolt were replaced. What a
stunning engine bay!
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The underside of the trunk lid and jamb are
painted just like the body. The latch assembly was replaced and has
new hardware too. It has a new gas tank and filler neck as well.
Under the trunk mat is all clean, solid and rust free metal with
neatly applied Grabber Yellow paint.
UNDERSIDE: The front end was replaced with an upgraded system that
includes rack & pinion steering, tubular control arms coilover
adjustable gas shocks and a swaybar. Welded in frame rails connect
the front to the back and prevent body twist. Out back the springs
and shocks look fresh and a set of traction bars keeps the rubber
on the pavement. Great sounding exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers
and quad tips going through the valance. Disc brakes up front, and
the e-brake assembly is hooked up. The fuel tank and sending unit
were also replaced. Looking up at the motor it is clean and has an
extra capacity oil pan. The top loader 4-speed is spotless, and the
rear end looks fresh. The floors are clean metal painted black.
SERVICE: After we gave it our inspection we replaced the plugs and
wires, rebuilt the Hurst linkage, serviced the a/c including a new
compressor, installed a radio bracket and column cover, fixed the
heater vacuum controls, calibrated the speedometer, and adjusted
the brake light switch. We also installed a new real wood steering
wheel, new tie rod, new driver's door weatherstrip, new axle seals,
new window trim, new e-brake components, and new Magnum 500
wheels.
This is the Mach 1 to have; with a nut and bolt restoration, killer
colors, 4 speed manual and a 428 Cobra Jet. Time to turn some heads
and snap some necks! It's a true thoroughbred that was born to run
free!
For nearly 30 years, I, Jay Grams, have personally written the
highlights for almost every car in our collection. What I provide
is my professional opinion based on my experience with these
vehicles. However, opinions can vary, and I strongly recommend a
personal inspection to form your own view. Our sales team is always
available to answer any questions you may have. One great option is
to request a personalized walk-around video, where we can showcase
the car and share our team's insights. **Our cars are displayed
within a museum setting. If you are interested in a specific
vehicle, please schedule an appointment with a salesperson to view
it. Without an appointment, there is an admission fee to enter the
showroom. If you decide to purchase a car, your admission will be
refunded, and you'll receive a one-year museum membership.
