    Note: Due to a technical issue, PT Garages are presently view-only, meaning existing garages cannot be edited, and new garages cannot be created for the time being. We appreciate the irony that a website dedicated to old cars is having trouble due to a piece of software from 2012. In our defense, software rusts much faster than metal.

    While we work on fixing and improving the system, we invite you to look through the nearly 400 garages that are already on the site (which can be searched using the "Search PT Garages" link above), and to check out the Project Updates and Multimedia & Photography forums for more great builds.

      82 Mustang GT set up for open track road racing. Goal was to keep overall appearance rather original but with a well set up chassis and powertrain. 431 cu-in RDI alum block, naturally aspirated solid roller on pump fuel. Suspension consist of modified front geometry and rear torque-arm / panhard set up.

      Engine Dyno results 607HP and 560 ft-lbs with a big fat torque curve most of which is 500+

      Events
      Been doing track events and instructing since 2001. Just recently started doing the protouring competition events. Tracks driven include: Gingerman, Grattan, Putnam, Mid-Ohio, Autobahn CC, and Ford Dearborn Proving Grounds.
      Builder / Thanks to
      Built it myself, I do everything myself from motors to paint but need to thank my CFO and wife Melinda. As well as my chief mechanic gear head son Max who's been under the car with me since since he could walk. He has the stitches to show for it too! That's a bit of blood on his shirt.
      Story / History
      Car was purchased in 2000 as a 36k mile rust free roller and then purpose built for track days. This was an AC delete car with no power options and is very light, under 2900lbs built.

      Magazine links
      Was featured in MM&FF's a few years ago but they got the details so wrong I'm embarrassed to link to it.
      Future plans
      Replace the dog ring G-Force T5
      Build a custom 3-link rear suspension to replace the torque arm.
