This car runs and drives and it's a sleeper…and most importantly – it is FAST. I have had 4 Fox-body Mustangs, and none of them would hang with this little Monster.
The individual I bought it from had set it up to use as a drift car. He bought it from the guy who built it. I can provide you with the builder’s number for more info.
It could easily be tuned for street, drag, or drift.
I have videos of it running and driving. Just send me a message and I would be happy to send them to you. I am located near Springfield, IL.
