INTRODUCTION: A true thoroughbred! With a built 347 stroker and
over 500 ponies under the hood, this Mustang is leading the pack.
Whether pounding the ground, stealing the show, or just cruising
the highway in 5th gear, this Mustang can do it all, and do it
well. Get behind the wheel and you'll never want to trot again,
only gallop!
EXTERIOR: Pretty and proper! The Gulf stream Aqua paint stands out
in a crowd, and quality wise holds its own in a showroom full of
pristinely restored classics double the price. It was applied with
great attention to detail then polished to a finish that is
reflective and smooth to the touch. The panels are all nicely
aligned with the doors opening and closing easily. The chrome
bumpers and remaining brightwork are sparkly and shiny. The front
grille has been replaced and the headlights upgraded to halogen
units. It has factory style turn signal indicators in the dual hood
scoops. The rubber seals and fuzzy strips have been replaced. The
black lower body stripe nicely complements the interior. The stance
is right and it's sitting pretty on a set of 15 in Torque Thrust
wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich radial T/A tires.
INTERIOR: Nicely upgraded! I instantly noticed the upgraded bucket
seats when I sat in the car. They have been reupholstered and
re-cushioned with extra bolster to keep you in place when cutting
the curves. It has seat belts front and back. The lower part of the
dash and steering column have been nicely painted and the dash pad
has been replaced. It has factory style gauges including a
tachometer. All the lenses are clear and easy to read. Additional
Auto meter gauges help monitor the vitals. The three spoke steering
wheel has a really nice grip to it. The radio has been upgraded to
a digital stereo with extra speakers in the kick panels and rear
package shelf. The door panels, levers, headliner, sun visors, and
carpeting have all been replaced. Even the floor mats are really
nice with custom Mustang embroidery. And of course we can't forget
about the upgraded Hurst 5 speed manual shifter begging to be
thrown around.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Street beast! The 347-500hp stroker is built
with high-end components both inside and out. Upgrades include H
beam rods, JP Pistons, aluminum Edelbrock intake manifold, ported
and polished aluminum Edelbrock performer RPM heads, ceramic coated
headers, MSD ignition, Holley 780 carburetor, fuel pressure
regulator and more. It is equipped with power steering and an
upgraded wilwood master cylinder. Shock Tower supports and
additional bracing help prevent twisting under power. The horn and
squirters are hooked up. The underside of the hood, fenderwells,
and firewall are all neatly painted satin black.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Fully carpeted! The underside of the trunk lid
and inside the jamb is nicely painted with the same shine as the
exterior. The weather strip has been replaced. The battery was
relocated to the trunk inside a properly vented and secured
aluminum safety box.
UNDERSIDE: This Mustang's undercarriage has been significantly
upgraded for improved performance and handling. Up front, it
features an upgraded suspension system with gas shocks, adjustable
strut rods, a larger sway bar, plus rack-and-pinion steering.
Welded in tubular frame connectors tie the front and rear of the
chassis together, greatly reducing body flex and improving
handling. Out back, it has 1 1/4-inch drop reverse eye leaf springs
with upgraded bushings and a performance shackle kit, along with
gas shocks. The 3 inch stainless exhaust system is impressive with
an X-pipe, and MagnaFlow mufflers for both performance and sound.
The fuel system has been replaced, and braking is handled by
Wilwood drilled and slotted disc brakes at all four corners.
Looking up at the engine you'll find an extra capacity oil pan and
high torque starter. The Tremec five-speed manual transmission uses
a Pro Ripper shifter, dual friction clutch and a billet flywheel. A
custom driveshaft leads to a heavy duty custom 9-inch rear end with
3.70 Yukon posi gears and Moser 31 spline axles. The rust free
floors were sandblasted and sealed.

CONCLUSION: What a great opportunity to saddle up and have some fun
for not a heck of a lot of money. This pony was born to run!
