Here's a blue CS with a few mods:

Looks like it's up near Dearborn ...

few mods is a understatement.

It would take a lot of work to put this car back right. No thanks.

This mustang is sweet. Is that really an original aculpulco blue? That billet grille looks good, i want to do a similar thing with mine, except I want my fog lights to stick through the billet grille. The only thing thats modded is the engine/drivetrain and wheels and grille. Thats not that too modded in my opinion.

modifying the engine like that is a MAJOR job.

Actually, if someone wanted to return the car into a CS that "looked" like an origional (mods are hidden), then the grille and wheels being returned to stock (and the shifter handle) would be what's needed... to further the "look" process, one could replace the EFI system with a carb, and replace the serpentine belt with the old style pulleys, and that would be okay; afterall, it's a J-code (302) and the car has the last factory produced (1995) 5 liter (which is a 302) - although it's a roller-rocker motor, but then again, that's a desireable design improvement in a lot of peoples' opinions .

Then there's the 5-speed... unless you're into a concourse setup, I'ld leave the 5 speed, ... in fact, the 5 speed is a highly desireable mod in my book - it's hidden, lighter weight, the OD makes it more economical on gas, and the first few gears are aggressive - it's almost like having a 4.11:1 gears even though your car may be sporting a 3.00:1 8).

Right on, right on. The 5 speed is my number one priority if I change anything else. Taller gears without the pain at the pump. And you're dead on, I love the gear ratios from 1-4th in a T5 or 56.

And I knew David would love that car. You go boy!!
