My car is a 1971 Ford Mustang Standard Convertible.
I’m proud to own this example of a “RestoMod”.
It looks stock on the outside (including stock steel
wheels and hubcaps), but many improvements have been
made. I’ve added a stock deluxe center console,
stock rally pac with gauges, stock outside racing mirrors,
a Mustang AM/FM, Tape, 6 CD stereo and a security alarm
system.
Major Modifications
Custom 410 HP 302 cu. In. V-8 engine built by John
Villegas
Custom suspension by Marlo’s Frame and Alignment
Custom German Black Canvas top by Dan Miller Upholstery
Custom Red Paint exterior by Chino
Future Modifications
Replace original Black Interior with a red/black custom
design
Brembo (or similar) brake system
Possible replacement of stock wheels for custom rims
A.O.D. transmission conversion
I bought my ‘stang in 1983…I’m the
3rd owner! The thing I like best about this ‘stang
is that it is magic…when I drive it, I become
18 years old again. That’s shaving 48 years off
my life…WOW! My sweetheart Shirley Johnson and
I most love to take it on club caravans and events.
Car shows also have been a frequent activity during
the last 4 years.
My favorite story about my ‘stang is that while
I was going through a recent divorce, my wife had temporary
custody of it. I had the 1995 Isuzu Rodeo SUV, temporarily.
When the divorce was final, I was to have the ‘stang
back, but my ex-wife wouldn’t return it to me.
One day, I drove to her workplace and with the extra
set of keys I recovered my ‘stang and left the
Rodeo for her. Boy, did that ever tick her off!!
If money was no object, I would like to have a completely
restored 1938 Ford 4-door Touring Convertible or a 1931
Model A Victoria. They would have to have been upgraded
mechanically and technically, of course.
