AllFordMustangs Featured Car: Featured Car for June 2001
Where
Mustangs are plentiful, it takes one sharp looking stallion to stand
out from the herd. Randy Schauwecker's 5.0 is one of those few !
Randy
first saw his stang for sale on a nearby Texaco lot. It did not
take Randy very long to realize he had to have her. The next day
she was sitting in his driveway.
Now
this is where the story really begins.
In
the year since his purchase, Randy has been busy making some serious
hi-performance upgrades and modifications.
From
what was basically a 100% stock mustang, Randy has built himself
one super quick Mustang GT as his daily driver. With some very careful
plannng and a steady infusion of cash, Randy has already completed
a long and impressive list of modifications which include:
Trick
Flow Upper and Lower Intake

65mm Throttle Body

His
current project is giving his stang's interior a custom makeover
which includes a top of the line killer sound system. What's next
on his list of planned upgrades ? Would you believe a 320 hp crate
motor which will then be stroked and blown to 347 cubic inches.
Sound like fun, . . you bet !
As
you can probably tell by now, Randy has been around cars for a long
time. His first Mustang was a 1968 302 4 speed Mustang Fastback.
He later purchased a 1986 Mustang Convertible GT 5.0 5 speed and
then a 1993 Mustang 5.0 5 speed LX. Fair to say, he knows
his way around Mustangs.

Randy
is convinced, this
one is the keeper, and
according to him, even his ex-wife will back him up on that !
So where does this story really end ? Its really quite simple, .
. . As Randy sees it, by the time he's finished the only way a bowtie
could even hope to catch him, is if he runs out of gas. How's that
for a mission statement !
