Alright. If he cannot be nominated, then strike my vote from the records and count it to Retro 5.0. His car has the looks and the power to be a killer ride.
Here he is with his old 306 motor, popping the wheels to a 12.50 @ 109.
Here he is with his new motor, beating a race car with open headers. This run was an 11.7 @ 117.
As for mods...I'll list the basics, there are a ton of supporting mods which will not be listed.
306 with heads, cam, intake, 150 shot (major mods) Roll cage Full suspension 31 spline rear with 3.73's Full tubular front end
List goes on and on, as for suture plans, I am fixing a bunch of paint issues and doing a full Cobra conversion. I have the grille, spoiler, emblems fender extensions, etc...all sitting in a box ready to go on. I also intend on getting rid of the juice and bolting on a blower.
thanx for the nomination Jim! i nominate Retro! best looking 85 mustang in the world hands down!!! my 88 is a 4 cylinder conversion car that i did the full 5.0 swap on & then did the full 1988 Saleen mustang conversion on it with all original 1988 Saleen mustang parts including body, interior, brakes, suspension, wheels etc.... i persoannly built this car with my own 2 hands! every nut, bolt & part & it was been 10 years in the making.

Thanks Jeff and Pete for the votes. A lot of the guys here have a better car than mine far as motor goes, but I'll get there some day. I really appreciate the nominations.
I think a certain Ttop Capri should be voted for ROTM. Your car has come such a long way from the day that we picked it up. It will be nice that you'll be able to have it the whole season with it looking great.
