Description:
Body-off restoration by Chuck Francis, one of the West Coasts oldest
and most respected Mustang restoration shops. Chuck has been working on Mustangs
for over 40 years and restores Mustangs for the meticulous "Hollywood"
clientele. He also built racing motorcycles for two decades. This one took 12
months to get just right as the previous owner spared no expense to make it
perfect. Less than 1000 miles on the restoration; it still has that "new car" smell
and looks better than new on the outside. Its striking beauty, coupled with
the gurgle giving way to a enjoyable, throaty roar as one accelerates, turns
almost every head attached to a male body when this Restomod Fastback makes an
appearance. Under the hood is a Ford Racing 302 with all the necessary
internals, roller-rocker cam, JE Forged Pistons, etc.; Trick Flow Aluminum heads and
high rise intake manifold, MSD 6AL Ignition, Distributor, Holley 0-4779C
carburetor, Northern aluminum radiator, custom headers into 2.5" exhaust and
Flowmasters, mated to a close ratio 4 speed transmission, "boxed" front suspension
with new springs all around, slotted and drilled disc brakes, 17" Torque Thrust
D series 2 wheels. "Red top" battery. Dyno tuned to more than 350hp on pump
gas. The body is covered with impeccable, glass-like Ford Blue with white
stripes. Interior is white with white "Pony" seats.
