Not many of these cars left and even fewer this nice. The colour is Black Sapire. It was mixed by mistake but I ended up using it because really liked it. The pictures don't really show how nice the colour is. The interior is custom grey and black. The seats are '99 Mustang GT that bolted right in. The rear seats still need to get redone in grey to match the front.
Here is a pic of the new rack, there are also offset bushings installed to improve the handling. Its painted red but the halogen light makes it look yellow.
I've replaced the large inner pannels and continued the grey strip along the sides. The seatbelts were also replaced and switched to grey.
I've completed the Hurst line lock. What a fun new toy! All I have to do is flip up the ashtray lid and the activation light is visable. Check out page 2 for some burn out pics. Since these pics I've needed to replace the clutch packs for the limited slip.

Here are some old pictures. The is pretty much how I bought it for $2000 except for the rear crome mags. It was poorly painted black. I bought it from a garage that had reposesed it because the previous owner failed to pay them for engine work.
Below are the Twisted Wedge Trick Flow heads that came off my 81 Cobra.
