Picked up my new toy yesterday!!

[ccoyle0103]

Had my eye on this car for awhile and finally pulled the trigger to get it...

1989 Mustang Gt with 115k miles. 347 Stroker, Race prepped C4 with a Performance Automatic 38-4200 stahl converter, Doug Herbert .597 solid lift cam, Windsor Jr. heads ported and polished, Victor Jr. race intake, Quick Fuel Carb and fuel pump, Mac longtubes into 3" dumped Dynomax bullets....This car has alot of good parts and hardy any miles since it was rebuilt. I am excited to get back into racing again, and I think this will be a good start....Wife told me I have to burn the title tho...lol
Here are some pics and a couple vids of her coming off the trailer.....Notice the perma-grin!!!

The car was completely built in 2007 and ran a few times at the track. 3 passes with the best being an 11.44 @ 122 with a 1.6 60. The guy that built it was from Charleston Wv. and had to sell it because his financials were in a bad place.....The guy that bought it was gonna run it at FLD in Zelie but 2008 was the final year there....He only messed with it in his driveway and didn't even put 1000 miles on it in 5 years. I looked at the car back in Oct before I bought my Convertible back. I was just about to make the deal with the guy and my phone wrang. Needless to say that day I got my 01 back and Ryan bought this. It hasn't been touched all winter and finally I made a deal with Ryan after my truck sold...And she now resides in my garage where she WILL see track time.....
I just hope that all the high dollar parts on her stay in one piece for awhile...

Lol...I don't have a problem shifting gears Greg. I need to find a good T5 swap...H*ll the converter on this C4 was over $800....

[scott5]

track + t-5 + hp = breaking alot and slow times

Stick with the c4.
