Goodguys Rod & Custom Association debuted their 1979 Ford Mustang built by Goolsby Customs at SEMA 2017. The car celebrates raising the eligibility in their National events to 1987-and-earlier cars starting in 2018. Under the hood sits a Ford Coyote Aluminator V8 taken from a NASCAR Pace Car. The engine produces around 550 horsepower and puts around 480 horsepower to the wheels. Behind the engine is a Bowler T-56 six-speed manual transmission and Ford 9″ rear end. The Mustang rides on a custom Roadster Shop chassis with Baer disc brakes.

All that hard work and effort and…It’s still a (ugly) 79 Mustang and I’d still be embarrassed to be seen driving it.
Glad you took the time to share your shallow opinion with the rest of us. Hope you someday find the validation you seek.
May I suggest talking your complaints to the Goodguys Rod & Custom Association? I am sure they would appreciate your input, particularly since they are the ones who had Goolsby Customs build this Mustang.
Great looking Mustang, I always thought these early Fox Mustangs were better looking than the later ones, unfortunately they weren’t as fast. This one takes care of that problem.
