OVERVIEW:
This car was built utilizing a donor 99 Mustang GT for the drivetrain, front brakes, and power steering system. The motor and transmission were professionally rebuilt. As mentioned, the alignment and corner balance were completed at a local race shop. The interior was completely covered with heat reflective coating that also absorbs vibration.
The car was built over the course of two years. It was an amazing experience and I love driving the car. It’s a truly thrilling experience behind the wheel. Plenty of power to roast the back tires and get into trouble, but not too much to be unmanageable. I love getting it out to the canyons here in LA and have really enjoyed auto crossing when possible. It draws a crowd at gas stations and I almost never take it out without someone stopping me to compliment the car and want to talk about it.
However, it’s time for the car to find a new home. Since starting the project I’ve moved, gotten married, and started a family. The days of two seat cars without airbags are going to be on pause for a little while. This opens the door for someone new to have a driving experience of a life time.
