This Mustang was meticulously restored in 2014, mostly to its factory specifications (see Marti Report) with some upgrades and about 5 000 miles ago. It's a very fast car, driving it will definitely leave you with a smile on your face.
It came factory with the GT package and the ‘’S-Code’’ engine which is 390ci Big Block & 4bbl Carburator. The original 390 block was missing, so the last owner decided to build something a little bit more extreme than the original 325hp 390. He located 390 ''truck block'' from the mid-70s as they have thicker webbing and cylinder walls, and bought an eagle rotating assembly to get a 445ci displacement. Forged pistons were also installed, as well as Edelbrock Performer RPM heads & intake, roller lifters & rockers and an aggressive cam. It's running a pertronix ignition and has hooker headers. 500 Horsepower and 550+torque. It has a correct & rebuilt Toploader 4-Speed transmission with a 3.25 Limited Slip rear axle, exactly the same as when it left the factory in 1968. The original carburetor was replaced with a Quickfuel Browler 750cfm double pumper with Electric choke to keep up with the other modifications. It also has a complete stainless steel exhaust.
During its restoration the paint (exterior, engine bay area, undercarriage & jambs). Very good quality paint job, nice and shiny finish. During the restoration, the floor pans, torque boxes and frame rails (front & back) were redone. The car was braced and professionally done during the metal work. The undercarriage was repainted in the black undercoating for better protection & insulation rather than the original ''red oxyde'' primer. Chromes are redone and in very good condition. The original aluminum trims are in very good shape with no dents. Glass is all original and nice with very little scratches here and there, a lot less than the majority of these mustangs. The windshield is also original and date correct. The factory GT Equipement group also included the following on the exterior aspect of this Mustang: Fog Lights, Pop-Up Gas Cap, Dual Exhaust with Rear Valence Cutout which are all still present on the vehicle.
The interior was completely restored. This car came from factory with black standard Interior and was upgraded to ''black décor group'' with the woodgrain dash & door panels and comfortweave inserts in the seats. A restored and slightly modified 1967 Center Console, and a Over Head Console and deluxe seat belts were also added during the restoration in 2014.
It also came factory with power front disc brakes and power steering.
VIN on the driver's side inner fender is still present and visible, dash vin on the passenger side and door tag are also present.
