| 1979 Mustang Indianapolis 500 Pace Car replica. |
|
I bought the car as a rolling chassis. The story I was told is that the
original driveline was pulled when the original motor dropped a valve. The owner then
lost interest and sold it. The car is one of 10,481 Pace Car replicas built in 1979. (1 of 2106
with the 5.0/automatic tranmission.) The chassis has 39,000 original miles.
Exterior:
The car has no rust and appears to have never been in an accident.
(I've been under this car many times, and everything is very straight.)
It was repainted in the factory style and received new stickers in the mid 90s
due to the original paint fading (according to the previous owner.)
Interior:
The all-original interior is almost perfect. The car appears to have lived in a garage its entire life.
There is no sun fading, cracking or warping of any kind. The factory Recaro seats are in excellent shape and
still very supportive.
Engine:
AFR headed 347 long block (details below.) I purchased the engine from a friend. In his car, it put down
440/408 to the rear tires. It had about 5k miles on it, and since it was out, I tore into it to
to check everything out. The crank had excessive endplay, so I replaced it with a new forged
crank and had the whole assembly re-balanced and purchased new bearings and gaskets for it.
It's ready to re-assemble and drop in.
