I found this car in a barn in 2003 where the vehicle sat for 25 years. After getting the car home, I decided to do a frame off restoration. After working on this vehicle for many years my health has changed and I am unable to finish this car the way I would like to. I am looking for a buyer who will finish and enjoy the car. The car is 80% done. If you love '57 Fords you will love this one!

Inner fenders, core support, bumper braces, trim around windshield and doors, taillight housing, headlight rings have all been powder coated.

Side door glass and vent windows out on both sides of car, have windows and new track.

Where spare time goes in trunk no rust. Had to put in 2" x 4" patches where body mounts are.  Also 2 patches 2" x 5" where driver put his 
feet.

Floor pan is solid from front to back, original drain holes.

All wiring hooked up except parking lights.

Car is pretty much done - runs and drives!

Martini Mustang is a 'what if moment' gone right

Wed, 23 Oct 2013

Feast your eyes on a masterpiece. This is Steve Strope's Ford Mustang in the classic fastback bodystyle, and as you'll notice, it sports the signature colors of Martini Racing, a livery that's as legendary as any Gulf Racing-styled car. But the red, white and blues of the Martini stripe down this Mustang's middle tell only a very small part of the story, in the latest video from Petrolicious.
What would you guess is under the hood? A 289-cubic-inch V8? Maybe a 302, or some absurd Ford crate engine? Maybe Strope went all Tokyo Drift - he's actually responsible for the "Hammer" Plymouth Satellite driven by Vin Diesel at the end of the movie - and found an RB26DETT to drop into the pony car? You'd be wrong on all counts.
This mad, mad man somehow finagled a Ford-Lotus engine from a 1966 Indianapolis 500 car into the Mustang's engine bay. Yes, a Mustang with an engine designed for a 160-mile-per-hour, open-wheel racecar. That's like someone in 40 years dropping McLaren's 2.4-liter V8 from the MP4-28 into a Scion FR-S. It'd just make a monster.
