1986 Mustang GT Convertible

What's not to love here. Its American muscle at its worst. Completely neglected, shedding structural mass through rust with every movement. It was love at first sight. And I foolishly thought that since it was running and driving the prep would be a breeze. Power steering rack replacement, transmission replacement, brakes, etc...it was not a breeze. But it was fast...oh god there's nothing quite like torque. And if you are going to be hooning aroung the back roads of the southern states you should really be doing it in american V8 style.

As we found her Took a front hit at one point, hard enough to shift the entire nose about 6 inches. It pulled the A pillar enough on the passenger side that there was about an inch and a half gap at the back of the door. Ran strong but the trans was dodgy and there was no power steering. This is a car that really needs the power steering.

All dressed up and ready to go We knew from the moment we won last year (and thus secured number 01 for 2008) that it had to be the General Lee. Nothing else would do.
