for many more pictures of this car!
Turning 52 this
fall, this fastback has never looked better; the Mustang 2+2’s are the cars
that started it all. These fastbacks are extremely desirable in today’s market
when found in this condition. Recent full restoration on this fastback has made
it a beautiful car that not only turns heads and attracts a lot of attention,
but consistently wins “best of” trophies when shown. This car can be seen in
the movie “The last of the Manson Girls” where even on the set with many other
classics people were drawn to check out this beautiful car.
This
Fastback starts, stops, and runs beautifully! A lot of time has been put into
this car and it shows. Your biggest problem will be people driving in your
blind spot to look at the car, or asking to get their picture taken with the
car when you’re filling gas.
A lot has
been done to this car; I will try to sum up the highlights and cover common
questions. If you have a specific question feel free to contact me and if
needed we can discuss over the phone (I prefer not to post my # on the
internet).
Body:
What will stand out is the body of this car is excellently
restored with an outstanding paint job in Rangoon red winning a “Best Paint”
trophy at a recent show. This car shines with a mirror gloss that is simply a
stunning visual as seen in the pictures reflecting everything around it. That
said there are a couple very small nick’s one can find if you look hard enough.
The antenna has been frenched in with an electric
motor operated from the console, giving the car a seamless sleeker look. The
custom exhaust is routed out the rear valance GT style with chrome tips and
resonators to complete the styling.
The undercarriage is rust free with
a black undercoating. Window glass is flawless with new seals and chrome. New Cragar style wheels with Cooper Cobra white letter tires
have about 500 miles on them; however the muscular
stance of the car with these wider tires does rub a bit on the right front when
turning hard.
New chrome all around looks sharp
and complements the excellent paint job well. The mach
1 hood scoop works well with the aggressive look. Shelby hood pins and bullet
side mirrors are integrated flawlessly and the Shelby style grill adds to the
look. The grill corral will be included as well if you prefer that styling.
This Mustang never spends a night
outside of its climate controlled garage under its cozy cover. It doesn’t go
out in the rain, sleet, or snow to invite rust into its life.
Interior:
The interior has been completely redone and is in great
condition. The gauge cluster has been upgraded to a 65 GT cluster with the
correct original matching glove box door. The original rally pac is mounted and works, however it is not connected as it
is not compatible with the upgraded electronics. The original AM radio looks
great and works, but it’s for show as mounted in the glove box out of sight is
a Pioneer AM/FM/CD/MP3 player connected to Alpine speakers in the quarter
panels.
The original center console looks great with the new carpet
and Mustang floor mats, under that the sound proofing helps the car sound
solid. The seats are re-covered and have lap seat belts. New door panels and
components look sharp. The original louvers are cool and functional.
If you prefer the original sweep speedometer it’s an easy
swap and I’ll include it along with the correct matching glove box door.
Mechanical:
The engine is a modified 1968 “J” code 302 HiPo with a nice mild cam that sounds great at idle, shaved
heads to gain compression, new valve job, and heavy springs. A 4 barrel Demon 650 carburetor combined with a Weiand Stealth intake manifold, and topped off with a
K&N air cleaner help this car perform very well. A new Scott Drake chrome
water pump, chrome alternator, chrome oil pan, chrome valve covers and air
cleaner work great and look even better, this car is as impressive under the
hood as it is on the outside. There is a minor leak from the oil drain plug
that will be corrected the next time the oil is changed by replacing the
gasket.
Electrical upgrades include a new Pertronix
ignition system with billet Ignitor III distributor, and Flame Thrower II
ignition coil. A new Interstate battery completes the package for a reliable
starting car.
The car has a C-4 automatic transmission with a performance
shift kit. The power steering works great and has had its components repaired
and upgraded. The brake system was upgraded to power brakes and dual cylinders
works well. The emergency brake has been repaired with new brackets and
associated components.
A new fuel tank, sending unit, fuel pump, visible filter, and
fuel pressure gauge ensure the engine gets its fuel efficiently.
Dual Cherry Bomb glasspack mufflers
disturb the peace quite nicely, it never gets old hearing people come up to
tell you how great it sounds.
