A FUN/RACE CAR! HE HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO

1988 MUSTANG GT WAS BUILT BY ITS FORMER OWNER WITH ONLY ONE GOAL IN
MIND…MIND-BLOWING SPEED! ALTHOUGH THE
PRESENT OWNER DOES NOT KNOW EVERY DETAIL, HERE IS WHAT WE DO KNOW:
THIS
AMAZING 1988 MUSTANG GT WAS BUILT
IN JANUARY, 1988, AND WAS SHIPPED TO LOS ANGELES TO BE SOLD NEW BY A FORD
DEALER. IT HAS SPENT ITS LIFE IN THE DRY
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA CLIMATE.
THE COST OF JUST THE PARTS TO BUILD THIS MUSTANG
FAR EXCEEDS THE PRICE THIS MUSTANG WILL SELL FOR!
DETAILS
EXTERIOR
THE EXTERIOR OF THIS MUSTANG IS PAINTED IN AN EYE-CATCHING RED. THE PAINT STILL APPEARS FRESH. THE COWL INDUCTION HOOD IS VERY LIGHT WEIGHT
AND QUICK & EASY FOR ONE PERSON TO REMOVE AND REPLACE, AND IS PAINTED WITH
A FLAMING SUPERMAN LOGO. EXTERIOR FRONT
AND REAR LIGHTS ARE ALL AFTERMARKET BLACKOUT TINTED. SHE RIDES ON UNIDIRECTIONAL P275/60R15 MICKEY THOMPSON ET STREET
RADIAL TIRES IN THE REAR AND 165R15 NANKANG N812 RADIAL TIRES IN THE FRONT, MOUNTED
ON BEAUTIFUL POLISHED ALUMINUM ‘HALIBRAND STYLE’ WELD WHEELS. THE EXTERIOR IS SICK, BUT THAT’S JUST THE BEGINNING!
INTERIOR
THE INTERIOR IS MOSTLY ALL
ORIGINAL. THE MOST OBVIOUS CHANGE IS THE
ADDITION OF THE XR RACING FRONT SEAT COVERS, AND THE A-PILLAR MOUNTED WATER
TEMP AND OIL PRESSURE GAUGES. THIS
MUSTANG IS EQUIPPED WITH ITS FACTORY POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES, POWER
WINDOWS, POWER DOOR LOCKS AND POWER LUMBAR SUPPORT SEATS. THE CAR IS ‘PUSH-BUTTON’ START, AND THE
BUTTON IS HIDDEN. THE INTERIOR IS ALL
BUSINESS, BUT GOOD LOOKING AS WELL!
MECHANICALS
THIS MUSTANG IS ALL ABOUT
THE MECHANICALS! THIS MUSTANG IS NOT
ONLY BEAUTIFUL, BUT ALSO VERY MECHANICALLY SOUND AND READY TO ENJOY. IT LEFT THE FACTORY AS A MUSTANG GT, 5.0 L,
5-SPEED MANUAL CAR. IT IS NOW POWERED BY ITS 347 CU IN STROKER ENGINE! THE ENGINE WAS BUILT USING ARIAS PISTONS,
ROLLER CAM, AND ‘AFR’ ALUMINUM HEADS. UP TOP IS A ‘BBK’ POWER-PLUS 70MM THROTTLE
BODY, A ‘TRICK FLOW’ INTAKE, AND A POLISHED ALUMINUM VORTECH V1
SUPERCHARGER! THE ENGINE IS FITTED WITH

THE 1988 MUSTANG
The Speed of a Horse with
the Smarts of a Fox.
Based on the Ford Fairmont, the 'Fox' body would be the longest
running platform in Mustang history. As an example, the doors of a 1979 can be
interchanged with those of a 1993. The Fox body also brought modern design and
a renewed commitment to performance. A 2.3 Liter four cylinder was again
standard with upgrades of a turbocharged four, 2.8 Liter V6 and 5.0 Liter V8.
Mustang paced the 1979 Indianapolis
500 and nearly 370,000 units were sold.
1982 brought the return of the GT with a revised 5.0
High-Output V-8 rated at 157 horsepower. Ford's resurgent racing program
blasted out of the gates with International MotorSports Association (IMSA) GT
racing, where the turbocharged Miller Mustang, driven by Klaus Ludwig, came within
a 10th of a second of winning its first race over the dominant Porsche 935
Turbos. Ludwig was only getting started. He handed the vaunted Porsches defeat
with back-to-back victories at Brainerd and Sears Point.
Elsewhere, Tom Gloy put a Mustang in the Trans-Am winner's circle for the first
time in a decade when he won the 1981 season finale at Sears Point.
In SCCA road racing, Mustang became the first domestic car ever to win the
Showroom Stock national championship when Ron Smaldone drove his turbo Mustang
to victory at Road Atlanta.
The big news for 1983 was the mid-year introduction of
the first true Mustang convertible in a decade, which accounted for 20,000
sales in the short 6 month season. On the performance front, the 5.0 V8 bumped
up to 205 horsepower. For Mustang's 20th Anniversary, in 1984, Ford offered the
most interesting line up in years. The GT was back in hatchback and
convertible, and a new European-inspired Mustang SVO debuted. Developed by the
Special Vehicle Operations department, the limited edition model was powered by
a fuel injected intercooled 175 horsepower four cylinder engine. The SVO also
featured unique exterior appointments, an upgraded interior, and was also the
most expensive model.
By 1984, Ford had staked out the IMSA GTO series as
Mustang turf. Jack Roush, the Carroll Shelby of the eighties, came on the scene
with hot racers. A Roush-prepared Mustang won the GTO class in the three-hour
IMSA 1984 season finale at Daytona. It was the beginning of Mustangs reign as
the king of GTO. The following February, Mustang won the GTO classes at Daytona
24 Hours - the first of three consecutive victories in the season-opening
marathon.
Mustang received a facelift for 1985, and horsepower
continued to climb. The 5.0 H.O V-8 was increased to 210, and the SVO squeezed
205 horsepower out of a 2.3 liter engine. This would be the rarest SVO model as
only 1,954 were built. The V-8 switched to fuel injection in 1986, the year
that restyling of both the interior and exterior, and a bump in the GT
horsepower to 255. The Roush Mustangs carried on the winning tradition in 1986
with eight more GTO wins and another manufacturers' title. In drag racing,
Rickie Smith drove his Motorcraft Mustangs to the semifinals or better at all
11 races on the International Hot Rod Association schedule, and took the IHRA
Pro Stock world championship.
THIS IS A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE THIS ONE-OF-A-KIND MUSTANG GT THAT WILL GIVE YOU YEARS OF DRIVING EXCITEMENT AND PRIDE OF OWNERSHIP!

Vehicle Condition:
THIS 1988 MUSTANG IS ALL ABOUT PERFORMANCE. IT RUNS
AND DRIVES GREAT, AND IS IN EXCELLENT COSMETIC AND MECHANICAL CONDITION
THROUGHOUT. THE V-8 ENGINE PROVIDES AMAZING
ACCELERATION AND THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS PERFECTLY.
There are some minor things to mention. The paint is in overall very good condition,
but does show some minimal signs of age. There are nearly no chips or touch-ups. There is some lifting of the right rear ¼
window trim. The wires to the rear
window defogger have been cut and should be reconnected. There is currently no radio installed in the
vehicle. There is a ‘BB’ mark in the
windshield down low on the driver’s side. Lastly, the heater core is not connected. I do not know if the core is good or
not. To the best of my knowledge, this Mustang
needs nothing mechanically.
The present owner was told when he purchased the vehicle
that it has a salvage title because it was stolen and partially stripped, and NOT
due to any catastrophic accident.
Note that the mileage listed above is the odometer reading
and is not necessarily the total mileage on the vehicle.
THIS IS A SUPER FAST 1988 MUSTANG GT THAT IS
READY TO BE ENJOYED TODAY!
