The story behind the build.
The owner restored this 1969 Ford Mustang Mach1. I put in an AOD from a 1986 or 1987 Lincoln Mark VII ( had a 5.0 HO engine).
I’ve rebuilt the transmission with a Haynes manual and put in a Lokar TV cable kit.
All that work and with all that power from the engine, the car just feels sluggish. I think it’s the wrong choice and I would like to upgrade to a TKX.

So, Steffan contacted us and wanted a driver mostly as a weekend driver, but occasionally on highways as well. He stated that top speed is not as important to me, I’d rather get to 100mph quicker.
INTENT FOR THE BUILD
A ‘John Wick’ tribute to be a weekend driver
FUTURE PLANS
To cruise the wheels off of it.
