my dad is rebuilding the engine on his 86 gt conv and is at the point of keep it original or build something to have fun with. its a black gt conv with fairly low miles he got from a state senator who (allegedly ) had 1 too many DUI's. ots almost nice enough to complete in some of the concours driven MCA classes - but he also likes the look of a similar car that did a boss tribute.

he isnt much to reading online - so i was thinking of getting him a book or two

thanks in advance

Yeah, idk, in my opinion I don't think a boss packages belongs on a fox hatchback... my buddy just completed the whole boss package on his '07 GT which looks awesome due to the similarities between 69-70 mustang body style and the 05-07's... just my opinion...

 

yeah - theres so many things you can do to the fox bodies cars.. and i will say the capri in the picture looks much better in person - pics truly do it no justice.

as for the boss - my dad is one of those people who jsut go nuts over grabber orange
