Ford Mustang Featured Rides

Corner Cutting Kitty

Modded Mustangs’ resident suspension guru and California native, Eric AKA “Jazzer the Cat”, takes the twisty road less traveled approach to modding.  Straight-line acceleration and corner destroying capabilities, Jazzer combines them both purrrfectly in his 2002 Saleen.  Eric has now gone Griggs GR-40/SLA upgrade after replacement of his previous Mustang love, a 1985 GT.  His original intention was to leave the Saleen in OEM form, but the love of auto-cross soon trumped those plans.  Already a potent performer in stock form, Eric saw room for improvement and opted for the extreme approach to the carving of corners.

Swervo = Sexy

The name “Swervo” has been on many front pages including this one twice.  However those articles were for Swervo’s former car, a 2004 twin turboed Mach 1 Turned N/A Mach 1.

Restoring a Snakes Identity

So how do you go from a canary yellow 94′ Mustang GT to a turbocharged all black 1997 Cobra? This is just what 01Sportchic did to win the March Rotm contest from Moddedmustangs.com by three votes.  First of all you need connections, like Jake (a great boyfriend) who owns his own shop.  Next you would need an abused mismatched Cobra that an owner wants to bail out on cheap at said shop.  Lastly you need that love at first site moment, Danielle (01Sportchic) was looking at this then supercharged car with dull paint and mismatched Cobra R parts on it when she told her boyfriend “Man, poor car! If I owned it, it would be so clean all the time”.
A few weeks later the owner was looking to move to move the car.  This was great! But in order to afford the car Danielle would have to sell most of the performance mods and basically return it to stock.  After purchasing the car and starting the de-modding process Danielle realized the car had an iron block instead of the aluminum block that Cobra’s from that year come with.  Come to find out the engine had been blown and one of the previous owners had cheaply patched the Cobra with the short block from a 03 GT.

Can You Hear Me Now?

February was a record setting ride of the month for Modded Mustangs. One of the big reasons for this record setting month was Tinkerbell’s meticulously modified and cared for 2003 Mustang GT. The car was purchased in 2005 to prevent a divorce, the then husband knowing she had always wanted a Mustang was hoping to keep her around with the car.  However Tink made every payment falling madly in love with the Mustang and eventually getting  the divorce to be with her true love.
