Styling and performance had evolved since 1965. This Mustang is an original 6-cylinder car with manual floor shift. It was owned by the same family for 36 years from 1980 to 2016. It was left original until it was passed down to the youngest son. When he acquired the car, he removed the original engine, transmission and rear. He removed the interior and striped and painted the car in its current color Mazda Purple. At this point the project came to a halt. This is when the current owner purchased the vehicle. The build began with a 428 Cobra Jet FE engine with the C casting on the back of the block. Production date was March 5th, 1969. It still retains its original bore. Ross Racing Pistons, Arp Hardware, Competition Cams Roller Rockers and camshaft and Edelbrock Aluminum Heads make up the internals. We are not done yet though. A Holley 850 Double Pumper Carb, Aluminum Intake manifold, MSD ignition, Ceramic Headers, Flowmaster 2.5 inch aluminized exhaust are just some of the modifications.
