The Palmquists purchased the car in Scott City, Missouri in July of 2008. Having spent its entire life in Missouri, the car had not seen much road salt. When the car was restored about 7 years ago, only the driver’s side floor pan and the trunk pan needed replacing. Kent and Melissa enjoy taking the car to cruise-ins and on summer drives.
The Mustang is powered by a 5.0 engine with 289 heads from an ‘85. The transmission is a T5 5-speed. The car also features: Holley 600 carb, Edelbrock performance intake, Flowmaster exhaust, Hooker headers, dual-point distributor, Hurst shifter, Cragar SS wheels and 3.55 gears.
