1990 Convertible Mustang GT 5.7
One of my three Mustangs, purchased in August 2003 for $2000, this beautiful show-winning Mustang GT 25th anniversary convertible has been restored and modified into a magnificent daily driver. A mirror-smooth black finish with copper metallic racing stripes compliments the unique brown top and interior for that classic black-and-tan sports car look, and the paint job is reminiscent of the classic Ford Shelby GT350H. L No timeslips, and no dyno sheets yet. L
Sporting a 347 cubic inch (5.7 liter) stroker motor with forged internals and Trick Flow aluminum heads with Cobra intake, a brand new convertible top and frame, and new interior, this car looks like it rolled off the showroom floor. And with all the torque provided by the stroker motor, this car is a worthy contender at any race track. And it’s also California emissions legal!
The 347 stroker motor has about 4,000 miles on it. The entire car has about 160,000 miles. Just about everything on the car has been replaced. It has brand new rubber all around. Traction is provided by the fat rear 275/40 tires coupled with the torque arm / panhard rod suspension, and handling by the front coil-overs along with 245/45 shoes.
This car has never been dynoed or tracked, but my 93 Cobra with almost exactly the same setup that also sports the addition of a Vortech supercharger made 505 rear wheel horsepower and 525 lb-ft of torque on the dyno at Mustang Ranch, and the Cobra's fastest track time at Sac is 12.020 sec @ 118mph. To figure out how much HP this car has and how fast it is, you'll have to do the math. This car is set up as a daily driver, it is a very comfortable, fun ride, but it's faster than anything else you'll encounter on the street. Bolt on a Vortech and this car would be a beast.

I am the third owner of this car and have spent over $25,000 modifying and restoring it.
