I remember those but haven't seen one in ages. Probably most got tore up or those who didn't know what it was may have modded them. Wasn't it affiliated with JBA?

Default 85 Dominator

I had an 85 Dominator GT. Black just like yours but a T-Top model. It was a Stage 1. Interested to hear where you got your information. I had heard that before but never found confirmation. I remember seeing Summit's test car run that fast out at KCIR there in Kansas City. I don't recall seeing any other Dominator's run that fast other than a Red 85 Dominator owned by a friend of mine, and then mine. The modifications that got us there were done by us and not Summit Ford. Both ran low 14's in their stock trim before we modified them.

I unfortunately sold mine back in the early nineties and I only have one picture to remember it by. Your pictures bring back fond memories!

I have attached my one picture of mine that I took the day I brought it home. I actually purchased it used in the Spring of 86. It was an early production 85.

Tracked down Dave Anderson, the owner of Anderson Racing Inc(ARI) and builder of the original Engines that were put into the 1983 Dominator GT's. This sounds like what has been described as the Stage III. Here is what he had to say:


Steve, We built a 302 with forged TRW pistons, Moly rings clevite bearings, a solid camshaft, Large valves & springs, etc. in the heads,double roller timing. At first we were selling the manifold and carb witht he engine but later the dealership just bought the base longblock.

Later when the dealership became worried about the emissions factor and fines they simply put stickers ont he cars and did some minor things and sold cars based on the reputation of the "real" Dominators.

Someplace in the boxes of old records there is probably an invoice listing everything that we did, but I do not have time to dig.

Will tell you a cute story though. Several years after we had done some of the forst engines, I recieved a phone call from a Dr. in overland park. He wanted to know if we were the builders of the Dominator engines. I said yes, and He said I want to tell you something. And then He went on to say he had owned many a foreign sports car including a Porche and the Gt he owned was faster and more fun then any of them. then he wanted to know if we would do a tune up. We don;t do that and directed him to one of our racing customer shop owners who was capable of adjusting solid lifters as well as do the proper tuning. He stayed in touch over the years and a couple of years back sold the car to someone who called and obviously were not too car savvy, so don't know what happened to it beyond that. But the original ownere had it around twenty years. Our intention in building the engine was to improve on the original concept 271 Hspr used in the mustang in 1965. It biggest advantage was the slightly increased compression, larger valves and a solid cam that easily allowed 6500 RPM when you fed it the gas.

Hope that helps a little.

Dave Anderson

As Dave stated I hope this helps those of us trying to learn more about them. I have responded back to him requesting to go search through his records to find as much info as I can about them. I will keep you posted as to what I find.

Steve

Default Response to Bluesfannoz

Bluesfannoz,

Sorry for the delay in responding (tech difficulties).
Thanks for the compliment. I am the second owner of the car. After 20 years, I contacted some of the original people who put together the Dominator option package. I was told that from 1982 to 1985, Dominators were sold by Summit Ford in three stages. The man in charge of the Dominator package in the beginning was Vince Hancock. Vince now works at HMH Auto Sports, Inc. in Summit, Missouri. He told me that Dominators 1 and 2 came with the option Motorcraft Dural Spark 2 Ignition box with 6000 RPM Rev Limiter Chip Plug-in; 140 MPH speedometer from Ford Motor-Sport; Hooker Super Competition Header; modified carb and air cleaner. I believe they also have the 308 to 410 rear-end gears. Dominator 3 motors (only 27 cars were made) were built by Dave Anderson of Anderson Racing, Inc. in Grandview, Missouri. He used a totally different motor that dealer cost $6500.00. He still has information on everything that went into the different motor, but I haven't been able to get back to him to get the information. I do know he just rebuilt a 1983 Dominator 3 that had 140,000 miles on it. The owner sold it and I do not know who has the car now.

If you want to exchange additional information, it would be easier for me if you could email me directly (DaneRates@comcast.net) and I will send you my phone number so we can talk directly.

Reviving this old thread because we are still looking for Dominator GT Owners! Going to have Reunion at the end of August in Kansas City, so we want to find as many owners as we can!

If you have a Dominator Mustang sold from 1982 to 1990 from Summit Ford in Lee's Summit Missouri. Please contact me!

I have a original 90 Dominator with 40k in the titanium. It did come from Summit Ford. I purchased the car with 29k and it still looks brand new.
