1965 Ford Mustang 427ci V8 Supercharged on 2040-cars

If you have any questions feel free to email me at: lelandlssantana@plonkers.com . If you are looking for the ultimate car that you can drive to and from the track without issues, this is it. Also
if you are looking for a fun cruiser that doesn’t require any significant maintenance, this is also it.
I have multiple pulley combinations that will allow you to run 10.5 psi up to 20 psi of boost! I have been to the
track once when it made 720 rwhp at 10.5 psi and it went 9.86 at 138 mph. I have since been twice at 16 psi where
it ran 9.62 at 144 mph on a very conservative tune up. It's completely capable of running 9.20s-9.30s at this boost
level. The car drives nice and straight down the track and requires no effort. It makes it’s power on E85 pump
gas and can be converted back to 91 octane, though you will need to run only 10.5 psi and much lower timing.
This Mustang is unique because it has a 4L80E with a lockup converter. What that means is the car runs at 2,400 rpm
at 83 mph on the freeway. No worries like traditional three speeds that you have to drive in the left lane because
it's taching out at 65 mph!
The parachute comes out with 1 bolt in the trunk and then the hinged license plate frame covers up the hole!
If you're in So Cal and want to come check out the car, hit me up!
The Bad: Nothing actually. Please understand this is a really nice driver and isn’t a Barrett Jackson $100,000
restoration. It has a $4,000 Dupont Chroma Premiere paint job and not a $15,000 Chip Foose paint job. There are
some MINOR imperfections but nothing you’d really see unless you were looking for flaws. The car physically
functions perfectly. I have driven the car in bumper to bumper, 1.5 hour traffic in the heat and the engine never
runs above 190 degrees.
