It began its life as a rare X-Code 390 Mustang. It now has a rare 429ci Cobra Jet engine, 500hp / 550tq Big Block, mated with a TKO 600 Manual 5-Speed transmission. All that power is sent to the rear 315's tires with a 9'' Positraction rear end with 3.73 gears. No more Carburator adjustments, we installed an Holley Sniper EFI Self-Tuning Fuel Injection, capable of handling 650hp, replacing the old style 4bbl carburator and delivering a more efficient air/fuel mix over the complete rpm range of the engine.
It has the newer HEIDTS fully adjustable coilover suspension all around, a rack and pinion power steering system and 4 wheel disc brakes for a modern driving feel and performance.
The paint and body work are phenomenal, no orange peel, no scratches or stone chips. The body kit was professionally fitted. Inside, only the best materials were used. Leather seats front & back, custom made door pannels, brushed aluminium dash pannels, overhead console with map lights, shelby style center console.
Extensive restoration that took 10 years to complete. 900miles since total rebuild. This car has never seen rainy days and was always garage kept.
