Description
Classic Car Design offers you this powerful Ford Mustang V8 289 coupé in racing style. Beyond the model itself, it's the workmanship that's impressive! Its owner, a member of the Mustang Club de France, has been driving a Mustang for many years. He spent countless hours making his wish come true. A 5 cm thick file of invoices and photos retraces the restoration and preparation of the car. Over €73, 000 (seventy-three thousand) was invested over a period of almost 6 years. Since then, the car has covered just over 2, 600 kilometres. It has an LP VRH from the FIA / FFSA (Pass for historic regularity vehicle) in the 'touring' category. It's impossible to give you an exhaustive list of everything that's been done, but here's a summary: The base car is a C-code Californian Model 66 that was first registered in 1965. It was completely dismantled to work on all the sheet metal and fit the approved roll bar. It now sports the magnificent 'Sylver blue' that covers the entire body. The yellow stripe is a reference to the famous AC Cobra 289 FIA. The front bumper has disappeared in favour of a Shelby-type skirt topped by the Oscar Cibié. From a mechanical point of view, everything has been redone or fitted as new. The 302 Ford Racing engine is fitted with ICON forged pistons and Eagle H beam connecting rods. It is fed by a Holley 670 cfm carburettor on an Edelbrock performer pipe. It also benefits from full MSD ignition and an oil cooler with a large-displacement Milodon oil sump. Following on from the 4-in-1 manifolds, the stainless steel exhaust system with side tailpipes has been custom-built. The engine is mated to a 4 Top-loader gearbox that transmits power to the self-locking axle. There is no power-assisted steering or braking. Front braking is by 4-piston callipers and 280mm Wilwood discs. The brakes are controlled by a Wilwood pedal box. Damping is provided by 4 Koni dampers. As on the Shelby, the upper wishbone supports have been relocated and the axle is fitted with tie rods. The wheels are American 6x15 semi-slick. In the cabin, the atmosphere is equally sporty, even if the carpets and door panels are present. The dashboard stands out for its full Autometer instrumentation. Everything is there to take part in regularity rallies and track sessions: Lecarra steering wheel, bucket seats, harnesses, brake distribution control, Tripmaster, fire extinguishers, including one with dual interior/ exterior control and sprinklers in the passenger compartment and engine compartment, circuit breaker, etc. The battery has been placed in the boot. The battery has been placed in the boot. There is also a large capacity fuel tank with vertical filling. Having had the chance to drive this beast on the racetrack and having been co-driver on a historic rally, I can tell you that this Pony car is a bomb worthy of the Mustang myth!
