Vehicle Description
This lifelong California Mach-1 was sold new in Bakersfield, CA
before its transformation into the fire breathing Pro-Touring car
it is today. The restoration, which is now 6 years old, has a
timeless appearance and serious performance capabilities!
Starting with a strip down to bare metal, this restoration
systematically addressed the car from top to bottom. The car
features all new bodywork and a beautiful base/clear respray in all
black paint. The Mustang has restored trim, all new rubber and good
condition glass. The undercarriage was refinished in matt black and
is easy to clean and maintain.
The engine, built by R&R Automotive Engineering, a machine shop
in Covina, CA, is a high end build comprised of an all star set of
components. The motor is internally balanced and was dyno tuned and
tested on an engine dyno upon completion. It made a stout 530 HP
and 536 TQ on the engine dyno which translates to an absolute blast
out on the road! The pro-built Holley carb is extremely crisp and
responsive to input and is limber throughout the RPM ranges. The
exhaust flows out through a set of ceramic coated, stainless
headers into a 2.5" exhaust which exits a custom rear valance.

The transmission is a brand new Tremec Performance T-56 with
McCleod Custom Street Twin clutch and an aluminum flywheel. The
clutch is housed in a Lakewood Bellhousing and power is driven
through a custom driveshaft to a Ford 9" rear end with 3.73 posi
gears and Currie axles.

The handling characteristics of the car are excellent, thanks to a
Negative Roll front suspension kit from Global West. The kit uses
tubular control arms, adjustable strut rods, Billet shock tower
mounts and QA1 shocks on all 4 corners. Out back, you'll find
Global West reverse eye springs and Cal Trac bars. The car has
quick turn in and hugs the turns like a champ. The car is properly
aligned and ready for whatever you throw its way. The steering feel
is nice and tight thanks to a Flaming River rack and pinion set
up.

The interior of this Mustang is all business with the Cerullo
buckets, Simpson harnesses, Autometer Gauges, and of course the
rear seat delete. Stiffening things up is an Autopower roll cage
with accompanying harness bar. It's not all race car inside though.
A Classic Auto Air system keeps temps at bay and plenty of sound
deadening keep the ride fairly quiet.

to drive!
