So Cal Classic Car Storage is proud to announce the availability of this one of a kind, hand-crafted 1969 Mustang. The best way to describe this car is pro touring meets euro luxury integrated into one of the best car platforms ever, the 1969 Mustang. Larry Erickson, the chief engineer of the fifth-generation Mustang, which debuted in 2005, designed the hand crafted front end of the 1969 Mustang. The FX520 Mustang was built by a high end fab shop, Vintage Fabrication In Missouri. If you need more information on this incredible Mustang or would like to arrange to see her contact Dean @714 402-5309.
According to Bobby
Schumacher, owner-operator of Vintage Fabrication, the FX520 combines
retro-styling with classic cues, it is completely hand built, integrates
flawlessly the best in performance like the John Kaase 520 Ford Racing Hemi
powering this incredible car. The
rear quarters were pushed out 2 inches for the 20x12-inch Boze custom alloy
wheels and massive 345mm-wide Michelin rollers. The quarter panel brake ducts are
functional to cool those huge rear Baer brakes. The rockers were dropped 2
inches before turning attention to the rear of this street machine, which
retains the traditional styling cues from the '69 while sharpening the edges
and adding an adjustable spoiler. The shotgun exhaust is flanked by a pair of
blades which mimic the uprights of a diffuser.
The Jon Kaase 520 CI Racing Engine is
outfitted with individual-throttle-body induction system. With a 4.390 x 4.300
bore and stroke, the Ford Performance block was stuffed with a Lunati rotating
assembly and Diamond pistons. The mild 10:1 compression ratio and hydraulic-roller
Comp camshaft make for a street-friendly package that's capable of belting out
nearly 800 wheel hp through a Bowler Transmissions 4L80E with Compu-Shift
paddles behind the steering wheel. Carrender Collision sprayed Archer 520FX in
Rhodium Silver with Platinsilver Pearl strips (from the Porsche 918 and
Boxster, respectively), with Eric Campbell hand-pinstriping the details. Set
atop a Roadster Shop Elite Chassis, this Mustang is built for some serious
performance driving. It features a full-billet front suspension set up, as well
as a rear independent-suspension system. Penkse double-adjustable shocks help
manage all of that torque. Baer Brakes and 14-inch rotors help stop this beast in a hurry while a set of custom Boze Alloy wheels designed by Erickson, wrapped in Michelin
rubber, complete the look.
