This fastback is sure to draw
the attention on the street... It even caught the attention
of Popular Hot Rodding Magazine that featured this car in
its May 2005 issue...
Under the hood this fastback has a
powerful spec-built 5.0 L Ford 302 that boasts Wiseco
pistons, Eagle H-Beam rods, a Comp Cams bumpstick and Crane
roller rockers. The 9.5:1 compression mill is fed via an
Edelbrock 650 cfm AVS carb with electric choke, polished
Edelbrock Performer intake, and Edelbrock RPM aluminum
heads. Exhaust pours through polished stainless steel swirl
outlets into 2.5" Tri-Y headers leading to Flowmasters 40s
in the back. The end result horsepower is estimated at 375
hp at 4,000 rpm. In the drivetrain department, power is
channeled through a Tremec 5-speed with a RAM Performance
clutch.
The grip is provided by Bridgestone
Fuzion ZRi tires, wrapping one-off 17x8 and 17x9 wheels by
Billet Specialties. The car has been dropped 2.5" in the
front and 2" at the back thanks to Grab-a-Trak springs and
shocks. Grab-a-Trak also provided the sway bars, while Baer
Tracker disc brake front and rear ensure a good bite when
the stop pedal is pressed.
To make sure the car maintains cool
running temperature under the Arizona sun, the owner
installed a Griffin 1", 4-core radiator with silicone hoses,
heavy-duty water pump, and an electric fan, which pops on at
190 degrees. Complementing the whole package is a custom
cylindrical billet aluminum overflow tank.
As a unique option, this fastback
includes 2 batteries for the electrical system - one for the
engine and the other for powering all the accessories. The
interior is stock except for the CD player, radio, Grant
steering wheel, white face gauges, fire extinguisher, and
walnut shift knob. The two-tone blue interior harmonizes
well with the Ford Brittany Blue exterior and custom Porsche
Silver racing stripes.
Here is your chance to own a
fastback that has the "looks" - please call (and
ask for John) for details on suggested improvements to make
this car the "perfect" ride.
This is a good find with a great price!
