"The American Iron Extreme Series was created to meet the needs of
domestic sedan racers looking for a series specifically tailored to
accommodate highly modified vehicles that are currently relegated
to racing in Unlimited or Spec limited series. This series is
designed to field a large high profile group of American muscle
cars and will unify fields of cars that currently race in other
sanctioning organizations. This large field/open modification
concept will provide racers and vendors access to a promotional
racing venue containing similarly prepared and appearing cars that
can run nearly unlimited configurations." Drivenasa.com
For consignment, a 2005 Ford Mustang GT coupe with unknown mileage.
This is a fully built race car that has not only competed, but won
a championship in 2016. Our consignor states it makes 680
horsepower on pump gas and we have no reason to doubt that!

Exterior
It's not the low stance, black paint, or Altezza style tail lights
that make this Mustang look like a race car, rather, it's the gaps
where the inboard fog lights might be, the hood pins on the vented
carbon fiber hood, and the tow hooks front and back. The appearance
doesn't suffer from the big 18-inch wheels carrying 35 series, ZR
rated tires with an early 2024 date code. More air intake is
achieved with ducts on the lower fascia and drilled holes in
otherwise solid parts of the factory grille. All windows are now
Lexan and the large spoiler out back is steeply angled for
downforce. t's a race car so naturally you'll have imperfections
including a scratch in the carbon fiber, various chips including a
spray of rock chips behind the wheels, and various other scratches
and scuffs, but overall, a clean presentation.
Interior
The doors have been stripped of everything except the opener, and a
full NASCAR cage has been added inside where a pair of Sparco
racing seats are hooked in. A flat bottomed steering wheel fronts a
purpose built dash with fuel shut off, FuelTech digital screen, and
a panel of toggle switches. A stout shifter resides on the tunnel
and diamond steel plating serves as flooring. No carpet, no radio,
and no distractions for the task at hand!
Drivetrain
Under the hood is the race ready 302ci 3-valve with a DSS 302
forged stroker kit, ARP hardware, a stage II Kenne Bell
supercharger, ported heads, and Hot Rod cams. It's mated to a
Tremec 3650 5-speed manual transmission and clutch built for road
racing. A Ford 8.8" rear axle is the final destination for the
consignor stated 680 horses. There's also a Kenne Bell cold air
intake in the bay.
Undercarriage
The Kooks stainless exhaust system including headers and mufflers
shines bright underneath and exits at the stock GT location on each
side of the rear valance. Cobra power disc brakes are up front and
the same configuration is used in back while the suspension is
MacPherson struts in front and a 3 link with coil springs and a
panhard bar in back. There's minimal surface rust underneath, a few
pan belly scrapes, and no errant fluids.
Drive-Ability
Well, don't mind if we do! The exhaust note is a 10 out of 10 for
us as we slowly roll this racer onto our humble test loop where it
performs leaps above your standard GT and the inside caters to
constant turns at high speeds. All the bells and whistles have been
removed so functionally, we find everything working, and of course,
the handling and its built suspension is on point! While Classic
Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time
of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be
working at the time of your purchase.
Check out the National Auto Sport Association and if you're up for
it, get involved in American Iron racing with this essentially
turnkey Mustang. The hard part's been done for you, now you get to
have fun on the track!
