Evolution-
Previous owner spent over 7 years and $60,000.00 restoring and modifying this car. Much of the work was done by world class vendors. The restoration was completed in 2009 and has been driven about 10,000 miles since then.
This car an extremely high caliber, very drivable, resto-mod with NO EXPENSE SPARED! I wanted a car that maintained its original vintage style yet drove like a newer high powered sports car of today.
The original build spec and goals for the finished car included phases like
A car that creates a palpable visceral reaction when you get behind the wheel
A car that "wakes you up"
Beautiful
Powerful
Confidence inspiring
Fast, quick
Reliable, reliable, reliable
Fun to drive
handles like it's on rails
bad ass and cool as hell
Mean sounding exhaust note, but not obnoxiously loud
Vintage look maintained but Unique / stylish / one-of-a-kind
Insulated, quiet, rattle free interior like a new car
Comfortable
Top notch sound system
Flawless

All surfaces pleasing to the touch
Engine/Drive train:
This is a custom built engine, not a buy it off the shelf crate engine!
Villegas Motorsports (of Southern California drag boat fame) built the engine and Grubbs motorsports did the dyno and machining work. Over $16k invested in this bullet. The goal was to create a bulletproof engine that made strong HP and could be driven every day; something that wasn't too loud or too thirsty but had plenty of giddy-up when you stepped on the GO pedal. They created an engine that was very drivable, very reliable, rugged as hell, and puts out 450 HP with 490 foot pounds of torque. They even took it a step further and built it to accept a 175 shot of Nitrous (though I've never run it on the bottle)!
The original block was removed, hot tanked, seasoned, line bored and punched out .20 over.
FORGED 429 Cobra Jet crank brings the displacement up to 409 cubic inches.

Suspension and Chassis
As mentioned earlier, this car was originally manufactured in California, is an original black plate California Car, and has lived its whole life in sunny, dry, Southern California before moving to Las Vegas. There is no rust on this car, has never had rust and, I have never had to replace any pieces due to rust.
This is the BEST HANDLING VINTAGE MUSTANG YOU WILL EVER DRIVE! BAR NONE!
Lowered 1 ½ inches and leveled, urethane bushings, bigger sway bars, custom A-arms, full floating rear end, sub-frame connectors and braces all make this car handle like a modern high-end sports car and is super fun to drive. The steering box is an adjustable Flaming River unit that alleviates the "super light touch" power steering that early Mustangs are known for and replaces it with a firmer feel that transmits road feel perfectly. This is the single best improvement I have ever made to a Mustang to improve its drivability. This car is tight, right, and ready to fight!

Interior
Factory Pony Style Deluxe Interior has been completely redone by the renowned craftsmen at Mustangs Etc. Not only was the interior redone, but it was improved as much as possible by installing the best weather seals we could find and. . . installing $1,100 worth of Dynamat sound deadening material throughout the entire cabin. You can actually carry a conversation in this car with the windows up and not have to scream over the ambient noise level. . . unless of course you happen to be cranking the 1700 watt sound system, but we'll cover that next. 
