I know, I know, there was no such thing! If there had been, it might have been something like this (if EFI had existed in those days!)

Check out the interior:

Note the pedal covers, gauges on the console, shifter, and steering wheel. It has an AM/FM/CD player.
It's in the shop right now getting rear disc brakes, a Truetrac differential, 3.55 gears, five leaf rear spirngs, new rear shocks, a rear sway bar, and subframe connectors.
Once I get it back, I'll post some pictures of the engine. It has GT40p heads. a stock roller cam from a '92 Mustang, repop hi po exhaust manifolds from an early Mustang, dual exhausts, Jacobs ignition, EFI with an Explorer upper and lower, 65mm throttle body, 70mm mass air meter, and a K&N cold air kit.
It was an automatic (column shift) to start with. First I added the console and converted to a floor shifter, then scored a set of brake and clutch pedals from Ebaymotors and did a T-5 conversion a few years ago.
If any of you know Tony Chan, I bought the front end parts and three row radiator from him when he parted out his "Project Sleeper" a few years ago, so that is still on the "to do" list.
I also have a Mach I hood scoop that will be going on later this summer. I'm going to put in a tubular shock tower brace/Monte Carlo bar setup as well.
My wife bought the car new in 1977. I married into it in 1980 (and, she says, ruined it!) It was the only car we had for many years. I started the "restomod" in about 1997, and it has evolved over time to where it is today.
It is already in the GMV registry - put it in a few years ago.
My vision was to have a street machine that is upgraded with Ford stock or near stock parts to make it nice looking, reliable, and fun to drive. I think I'm almost there!
