UPGRADE LIST AT BOTTOM! FEATURED BY HOT ROD AND FORD AUTHORITY! THE
LEGEND OF ""SANDY"": This is the legendary, internet-renowned
Foxbody known simply across the global car community as ""Sandy.""A
true masterclass in elite automotive restomodding, this 1987
Mustang LX Notchback has been immortalized with dedicated feature
profiles by Hot Rod Magazineand Ford Authority.Starting life as an
ultra-rare, factory non-A/C, Sand Beige survivor, it was stripped
to its bare bones and completely re-engineered from the pavement up
by a mechanical perfectionist. This is a turn-key, world-class
street machine that pushes a dyno-verified 401 horsepower to the
rear wheels.It seamlessly fuses raw, analog 1980s muscle with the
sophisticated braking, suspension, and build quality of a modern
supercar. BODY OVERVIEW: The lightweight, highly coveted slick-top
notchback chassis is laser-straight and structurally reinforced to
handle serious performance. The car has been enhanced with an
aftermarket lightweight K-member, a Stifflers driveshaft safety
loop, and front and rear strut tower bars to maximize chassis
rigidity. Aerodynamics are subtly enhanced by a custom-fitted
Makers Garage front ABS splitter, while the rear end is anchored by
a heavy-duty Ford Performance axle girdle. The car boasts a
perfect, aggressive stance, sitting on ultra-rare 18-inch bronze
BBS RK alloy wheelswrapped in fresh, high-performance BFGoodrich
g-Force COMP-2 A/S Plus tires. PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW: Retaining
its highly unusual, factory-correct Sand Beige (Paint Code
8)finish, the exterior has undergone a multi-stage paint correction
and complete professional detail to ensure an immaculate,
show-stopping reflection under any light. To lock in this intensive
labor, a high-grade ceramic coating has been meticulously applied
to every square inch of the exterior which includes all factory
trim, glass, mirrors, lenses, and even the bronze BBS wheels. The
contrast between the vintage beige hue, the flawless trim, and the
bronze wheel package creates an incredibly upscale, modern-classic
aesthetic. INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW: The interior has been
completely reimagined as a bespoke grand touring cockpit. The
driver and passenger are locked into deeply bolstered Corbeau
racing bucket seats secured by a multi-point harness system and a
dedicated harness bar. Tactile touchpoints are finished in
ultra-premium Alcantara and custom-finished Cerakote bronze billet,
extending from the 350mm Monte Carlo steering wheel and Steeda
shift knob to the custom pedal covers and climate dials. Modern
electronics are beautifully integrated, featuring a Kenwood Excelon
Bluetooth digital media receiver and an app-controlled, multi-zone
LED under-glow and engine-bay lighting kit for evening events.
MECHANICAL OVERVIEW: The mechanical catalog of this build reads
like a professional racing manifesto, with every component
meticulously documented and tuned: The Powerplant: A custom-built
347ci Stroker V8short block packed with premium forged internals, a
Scat crankshaft, SRP flat-top pistons, an Edelbrock high-volume
water pump, and an ATI Super Damper. The Cylinder Heads & Cam:
Edelbrock Victor Jr. aluminum cylinder heads paired with a
aggressive COMP Cams Xtreme Energy camshaft and Comp Cams Ultra
Gold roller rockers. The Gearbox: A brand-new, ultra-crisp Tremec
TKX 5-speed manual transmissionhandling power via a McLeod Street
Pro clutch pack and a Hanlon Motorsports short-throw shifter. The
Rear End: A fully blueprinted Ford 8.8-inch rear differential
stuffed with 3.73 gears, 31-spline Yukon hardened axles, and a
Traction-Lok limited-slip unit. The Exhaust: BBK ceramic-coated
long-tube headers dumping into a flawless Bassani stainless steel
cat-back exhaust system, generating an absolutely intoxicating
small-block soundtrack. The Brakes: Massive, high-performance
2003-2004 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra brake conversionfeaturing 13-inch
front and 11.6-inch rear Raybestos R-300 performance rotors and
ceramic pads for violent, fade-free stopping power. WHAT YOU'LL
LOVE ABOUT THIS CAR: Instant Celebrity Status: You aren't just
buying a fast car; you are buying ""Sandy"" which is aglobally
recognized magazine-feature vehicle that commands immediate respect
at any automotive event. Zero-Compromise Build Quality: There are
zero unaddressed areas or cheap parts on this car. From the
high-end Yukon axles to the custom Cerakote interior accents, the
attention to detail is flawless. Supercar Performance, Vintage
Soul: With a 401 whp output in a lightweight chassis, this car
delivers modern performance metrics while retaining the analog feel
of a manual V8. WHAT YOU MIGHT HATE ABOUT THIS CAR: A Pure,
Visceral Experience:The combination of a harness bar, stiff
pro-touring suspension geometry, and a race-spec exhaust means this
car is a thrilling, tactile machine and is not a soft, quiet
commuter car. DOES IT NEED ANYTHING? The vehicle is completely
sorted, turn-key, and ready to dominate the track or the show
field. To make the vehicle an all-weather cruiser, some may choose
to install air-conditioning. The new black ""Ford"" exterior
emblems and Makers Garage pinch weld covers are included in the
trunk but have not yet been installed. WHAT BUYER IS LOOKING FOR
THIS CAR? This Mustang is tailored exclusively for the elite
collector or high-end restomod enthusiast who demands perfection
and wants to bypass the immense financial and logistical headache
of commission-building a car from scratch. Replicating a build of
this caliber with parts, fabrication labor, tuning, and media
pedigree would cost well over $100,000. For the buyer who wants a
fully sorted, turn-key piece of Foxbody royalty, ""Sandy"" is ready
to deliver. Contact Rare Rides Company at 980-306-8100 or
