This Coyote-Swapped Foxbody Mustang Notchback Is One Sweet Build

Offered by Kansas-based KC Classic Auto, this LX was featured multiple times in Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords between 2012 and 2013. Obviously enough, the sale includes a plethora of magazines featuring the race-prepped thriller. Accompanied by a clean history report and a similarly clean title, this 1985 Ford Mustang LX features an SN95 rear end, 4.30:1 gearing, and a six-speed manual.

Thanks to an American Powertrain Science Friction Stage 2 clutch, the T56 Magnum is more than capable of handling the Coyote's torque. On Tremec's website, the Magnum is listed with a max torque rating of 700 pound-feet, meaning 949 Nm. The pony car's transmission further includes a Quick Time bell housing, a hardened 26-spline input shaft and a 31-spline output shaft, a 2.97:1 first gear and a 0.50:1 sixth gear, and a White Lightning shifter from American Powertrain.

Pictured on 16-inch skinnies and Mickey Thompson ET Street S/S drag strip-ready street rubber, this fellow also steers better than it did when brand-spanking new due to a Flaming River steering rack, a Kenny Brown Advanced Geometry System suspension kit, a UPR Products K-member, a Kenny Brown rear shock tower brace, and 1996 – 2004 SN95 Mustang GT spindles.

CCW Classic wheels perfectly complemented the styling of this hardly original notchback, which features a Mustang GT-style bumper and a carbon-fiber cowl hood. LED headlights and smoother inner fender panels also need to be mentioned.

Sourced from a 2003 – 2004 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra, the brakes are complemented by a Wilwood master cylinder. There is no odometer to speak of, which is a bit of a bummer for anyone interested in bidding on this car. On the other hand, a single look at the cockpit is enough to understand why this car doesn't have an odometer. From the rear-seat delete to the lightweight door panels, dashboard, rear package tray, suede-wrapped steering wheel, and Kenny Brown six-point roll cage, it's pretty obvious that said Mustang is a very purposeful machine.

Looking beyond the RaceQuip harnesses and Corbeau FX1 Pro Race seats, and you'll further notice a few amenities, beginning with Vintage Air climate control. Sound deadening and push-button start are also featured. Popping the hood reveals an early Coyote with a Boss 302 intake manifold.

Managed by a Ford Racing control pack, the Coyote breathes in through a 90-millimeter throttle body. Aeromotive fuel rails, a Flex-A-Lite aluminum radiator, a Lund Racing tune, a Kooks X-pipe and headers, and BBK Varitune mufflers round off the list of powertrain improvements.

Little in the way of paint blemishes are noted, whereas the undercarriage looks exceptional for a build that was completed over a decade ago. With seven days of bidding left, the Coyote-powered LX notchback currently sits on a high bid of $12,345.
