This very tastefully modified Mustang is one of those cars that everyone can love but few can own. With a few upgrades that will make it stand out from the rest of the Mustangs at the next showand#44; its a cool cruiser with enough horsepower to give it the performance to back up the look. Repainted in brilliant Signalflare Redand#44; this Mustang is proof that bright red on an early Mustang is always the right choice. It was originally plain old Wimbledon Whiteand#44; but thats not what you need if you crave attention like this pony does. The paint job is a few years oldand#44; applied over goodand#44; straight bodywork with crisp panel details that really pop no matter how closely you look. No need for fake Shelby add-ons or other styling gimmicksand#44; the original Mustang coupe is an icon and wears its handsome curves quite well. Fit and finish are good overall and suggest that this Mustang probably started out as a nice car before the work started; you dont get doors that close like that from a beater. There are a few signs of use today and its not a show-quality paint joband#44; but a trip to the detail shop for a cut and buff would really wake it up. Were also guessing that the trim is a combination of original and replacement piecesand#44; but it all looks right and shines up nicely against the red paint. Perhaps most importantlyand#44; it carries 289 emblems on the front fendersand#44; and it earns them the old-fashioned way. Inside theres a correct red and white Pony interiorand#44; which has been restored to factory specs with nicely upholstered buckets that look incredibly inviting. Theres no damageand#44; and only minor signs of useand#44; which only adds to its appeal. A modern three-spoke steering wheel frames the original gaugesand#44; and with a trio of auxiliary gauges under the dash its easy to keep an eye on things under the hood. Theres an AM/FM/CD stereo in the original radios locationand#44; and it sounds pretty good all things considered. Black carpets keep it from being too bright inside and the shifter is easy to reach from the drivers seat. The little Mustang also offers a surprisingly roomy trunkand#44; as welland#44; one which includes a new mat and a full-sized spare tire assembly. This was originally an F-code carand#44; which is a 260 cubic inch V8and#44; but it now runs a later 289and#44; which is OK by us. Besidesand#44; nobody will be able to tell the difference at a glance. Its a bit grungy under the hoodand#44; so nobodys going to suspect anything has changedand#44; and you can see that there are several upgrades like the Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetorand#44; finned valve coversand#44; and a new water pump on the front of the block. It runs great and pulls hard at any speedand#44; and history has taught us that these engines are virtually bulletproof. The C4 3-speed automatic transmission shifts well and spins a set of 3.00 gearsand#44; so this pony is a fantastic high-speed touring car thats quite comfortable in todays traffic. A new exhaust system is fed by a set of long-tube headersand#44; so it has that awesome small block cackleand#44; and it looks like there are new shocks up front and air shocks in back to fine-tune the ride height. Shiny Cragar mags look fantasticand#44; especially wrapped in staggered BFG rubber that gives it an awesome stance. Truly a wolf in sheeps clothingand#44; this pretty red Mustang coupe definitely delivers. Call today. |
