1970 Ford Mustang Coupe

Pat Unger Sierra Vista, AZ
Coupes are cool, too! Owner Pat Unger was the third person to buy this 'Stang 33 years ago. Pat was deployed overseas in the army for most of that time. The Mustang spent much of its life in storage, waiting for the day it would be rebuilt. In the meantime, he sent the motor along to friend and builder, Dave, to assess the damage. He found a broken ring, faulty valveguides and seats, and a couple of bad lifters. Rather than start over, Dave punched it .010-over at his shop in Herndon, Kansas, and put it back together with some new TRW pistons, a Crower Beast cam, an Edlebrock Torker intake, and a Holley 780-cfm carburetor. Once Pat retired, he had a lot more time and money to put into the Mustang. He stripped it of all its trim and brought it to Carr's Autobody of Tombstone, Arizona, where it got straightened and painted Grabber Blue. This coupe is up and running with a brand-new interior, but next on the docket is a Tremec five-speed and possibly a better set of cylinder heads for the Cleveland small-block.
