Vehicle description
In 1997 this car was bought as a project car, restored, then driven daily for 10 years between Rancho Penasquitos and Rancho Bernardo, then it sat in my garage. We are moving and have so many other projects to work on that we have decided to offer this for sale. If you"re a first time buyer of a classic Mustang be prepared to be a rock star. When people see this, they react - be prepared. This particular car has a few custom upgrades and modifications - the parts themselves are not expensive - it"s the time and labor of installation.
Engine: 289 with a .060" overbore and Edelbrock performer RPM package, Edelbrock fuel pump, Pertronix electronic ignition. There are long tube headers, and a crack in one that can"t be welded, and dual exhaust is original, except for the mufflers. The carburetor had a fuel leak in the secondaries, and a replacement Edlebrock AFV carburetor is included but has not yet been installed.
Transmission: Original C4 3-speed automatic. It works if it"s full of fluid, but has a leak. It needs to be fixed, or replaced with either an AOD 4-speed or 5-speed manual.
Rear axle: the previous owner said the rear gears were replaced with "lower" gears (a higher ratio). Stock ratio was probably 2.7 or 3.0 :1, and these might be 3.3:1? There is a squeak from a rear wheel bearing, but otherwise works fine.
Options: Power steering - works, but the pulley needs to be replaced. AC - removed long ago.
Body: originally made in San Jose, and been in California since new. Never been in a collision. There is minor rust below the passenger side floor, and water will leak in through the windshield and back light, and needs to be sealed better.
Upgrades and modifications:
1) Granada front disc brakes with a power brake booster - works right, and never been a problem.
2) American Racing Torque Thrust D 16" wheels.
3) Eibach 570 lb-in coils up front, with half a coil cut off and the "Shelby drop" on the upper control arms. Factory spring rating was 460 lb-in.
4) Magna leaf springs.
5) Electric fan.
6) Powdercoated valve covers.
7) Polished distributor body.
8) Dome light / map lights from a 1987 Lincoln Town Car.
9) 8 speaker stereo system. Late 80"s Ford radio with remote amplifier from a Taurus. Needs an extra amplifier and larger rear subwoofer.
10) The dash speaker was replaced with an Eclipse 5x7" coaxial speaker mounted in a custom made fully sealed enclosure - no other Mustang has this.
11) The other front speakers came out of a Lincoln Mark VIII and are also mounted in enclosures.
12) Keyless / remote start system. This needs two wires connected for it to start the engine. For now, it has to be started by hot wiring. This also replaced the keyed ignition switch with an illuminated starter button, but the starter button is smaller than the hole for the ignition switch, so there had to be two parts custom made to mount the starter button. To my knowledge, nobody makes or sells the adaptor rings. Those parts were custom made out of stainless steel, and no other adaptor rings have been made since. This is the only Mustang with this feature.
13) CNC made parking brake handle. All of the original and reproduction handles are prone to failure. This parking brake handle modification requires the complete removal of the parking brake handle assembly. The part is cheap - $50 - but it"s a very laborious installation.
14) The hood was originally optional, with the vents and turn signals. The gap between the steel and pot metal had been filled in with Bondo, but over time the filler cracked, and one of the pot metal parts literally flew off while driving, so the decision was made to modify the hood vents in a much more dramatic fashion that would be far more durable. This is a custom modification no other Mustang has, and it can be finished by anyone handy with MIG or TIG welding.
15) The fuel filler was relocated to inside of the trunk, but gas can leak out between the tank and the filler tube. It"s annoying, but isn"t inherently dangerous.
16) A steel panel between trunk and rear seat was added to prevent an even worse accident if hit from behind.
17) Tailights have been Frenched and the gas filler cap removed.
18) Seats have been refoamed and covered.
19) Original silly side air intakes modified.
20) Replaced rearview mirror from a self-dimming model from a Lincoln Mark VIII.
