1988 Mustang LX 5.0 Hatch

Apr 02, 2005
By: Ultimate Mustangs

Original owner, original miles still at 30000km. Car wears the original black paint with factory grey pinstripe/ grey interior cloth.
Car has been off the road for the last several years while upgrades/detailing was being done. Entire engine was pulled, built-up, while the engine compartment fully detailed. ( You really can eat off this motor and/or car ) it's that clean!! Car has no wear marks, no dents, or scratches. Competes in shows a few times a year.

Motor: Current motor is a 302 , 11:1 compression with TFS Race Alum. Race heads. Cam is a mild hydraulic roller valvetrain. Motor is very streetable as it is mild and will be driven regularly on the street this year.

Drive Train: Trans is a worked over T5 by Liberty Transmissions. Differential is a 33 spline, 8.8 with spool and T/A Girdle for support

Wheels: Current wheels are Centrelines

Chassis - Car is being mini-tubbed for new rubber with a 10pt cage. Rear is receiving the new Mickey Thompson 325's !!!! These are the record DOT record holders right now in the quarter mile.
