Description
Fully spec'd Fastback with useful upgrades; 351ci; Edelbrock
heads; steering rack conversion; tubular headers; Performance 351 intake
manifold and Holley carb; imported from dry-state America
This
J-Code Fastback was produced in the Metuchen, New Jersey plant in 1968 and
originally came fitted with the 302cu in Windsor with a four-barrel
carb.
Imported into the UK in 2003, nothing is known of its first 35
years - a common enough situation on US imports, although multiple bills on file
from UK registration show plenty of love and attention over the subsequent 20
years.
The V5C shows five owners since arrival on these shores,
although two are from the same family.
The car has had a significant
number of subtle but effective improvements which have transformed its already
decent performance.
The engine appears to be a 351ci and is fitted with
Edelbrock performance heads. The Holley performance intake manifold supports a
Holley Street Avenger carb and there is paperwork in the file which refers to a
Comp Camshaft although we obviously can't check to see that one is fitted. The
fuel lift pump is also by Holley.
The headers are tubular and the engine
bay is very neat and tidy, with an alloy radiator to take care of the cooling.
All in all, quite the package.
The last but one owner purchased a
reconditioned gearbox from American Automatics in Southend-on Sea. They
supplied a Ford C4 unit with the correct spline and 10 1/2" converter built
into a donor V8 box with an A Code Mustang servo.
There are plenty of
older invoices on file and its most recent MOT was issued in August 2016 which
it passed with just one minor and rather bizarre advisory ('chrome lifting
slightly on headlights') since when it has only covered around 800
miles.
In very sound order bodily and with what appears to be a
significantly upgraded engine, this Fastback Mustang has been running and
driving nicely on site, with bags of V8 grunt and an exhaust note to die
for.
