Historic Firstone Tire & Rubber Co. Hi-speed test car! Featured in "Mustang & Ford" magazine and on "Speedvision.com" website. This 1,600 original mile car is number one of two, special order, consecutive vin number, identical twin, high-performance Mustangs.
Equipped with 351 Cobra Jet engine, 4-speed Hurst manual transmission, modular 9" differentials and competition suspensions, these Mustangs were purpose built. Firestone then modified these cars for duty a their world famous Ft. Stockton, Texas testing facility. Most Firestone modifications still exist, with the exception of the roll bar, hood pins and racing set with harness, that were apparently removed prior to resale.
Considered to be unrestored, this car has been mechanically and cosmetically reconditioned, while preserving as much originality as possible. To date, all documentation has been collected, verified and cross-referenced for authenticity. This car is truly a historically significant, rare find, worthy of museum display or vintage racing!
