Ford Mustang

This lifelong California Mach-1 was sold new in Bakersfield, CA before its transformation into the fire breathing Pro-Touring car it is today. The restoration, which is now 6 years old, has a timeless appearance and serious performance capabilities!

Starting with a strip down to bare metal, this restoration systematically addressed the car from top to bottom. The car features all new bodywork and a beautiful base/clear respray in all black paint. The Mustang has restored trim, all new rubber and good condition glass. The undercarriage was refinished in matt black and is easy to clean and maintain.

The engine, built by R&R Automotive Engineering, a machine shop in Covina, CA, is a high end build comprised of an all star set of components. The motor is internally balanced and was dyno tuned and tested on an engine dyno upon completion. It made a stout 530 HP and 536 TQ on the engine dyno which translates to an absolute blast out on the road! The pro-built Holley carb is extremely crisp and responsive to input and is limber throughout the RPM ranges. The exhaust flows out through a set of ceramic coated, stainless headers into a 2.5″ exhaust which exits a custom rear valance.

The handling characteristics of the car are excellent, thanks to a Negative Roll front suspension kit from Global West. The kit uses tubular control arms, adjustable strut rods, Billet shock tower mounts and QA1 shocks on all 4 corners. Out back, you’ll find Global West reverse eye springs and Cal Trac bars. The car has quick turn in and hugs the turns like a champ. The car is properly aligned and ready for whatever you throw its way. The steering feel is nice and tight thanks to a Flaming River rack and pinion set up.

Stiffening things up is an Autopower roll cage with accompanying harness bar. It’s not all race car inside though. A Classic Auto Air system keeps temps at bay and plenty of sound deadening keep the ride fairly quiet.
