| - Celebrating 27 Years of Mustang Parts Sales and Service - | |  | |  Specialty Cars : DM-450
|
The Terlingua DM-450 Mustang is patterned directly after the legendary Terlingua
Racing Team notchback trans-am Mustangs of 1966. Life for these cars begins with
solid 1964½-65 coupes. Dallas Mustang owner Randy Gibson, along
with project engineer Kenny Northum, personally select every Mustang for the
Terlingua program. Each car is completely disassembled for a total ground-up
rebuild. Exceptionally rare or hard to find parts are retained for restoration.
Everything else is replaced with new. When you drive away in a Terlingua
Mustang, you are literally driving a brand new vehicle.
Once stripped, the bare unibody is set on a rotisserie, and every inch of the car is media
blasted to bare metal in preparation for the rebuild. At this stage, experienced
metal craftsmen flare, smooth, and graft portions of the car to achieve the
unique Terlingua Mustang styling. Once the reforming is complete, final bodywork
begins in preparation for the mile-deep basecoat/clearcoat finish. Pictures
cannot do justice to Ron Mohr’s exquisite metalwork and finish quality. You
simply have to see it to believe a car can look this good.
Visually, one of the most notable features of the car is the paint scheme.
Rather than the solid hood color seen on the 60’s era Terlingua Mustangs, Bill
Neale revived his original intent for the Terlingua Mustang – a single, bold
center stripe – which perfectly accents the signature Terlingua front apron.
Less obvious are unique touches such as the NASCAR-type deletion of the side
drip rails, and flared road-race fenders and quarter panels. Even closer
inspection reveals the Shelby ‘bullet’ mirrors, latching hood and trunk lid, and
gas cap delete. Pull the trunk pin and you discover a remote battery box and 22
gallon competition fuel cell from Fuel Safe. While details abound, one look
clearly sends the message: this is a pure vintage racer.
Moving inside, the pure race image merges with refined performance. The
four-point roll bar, leather ProCar racing seats, and competition gauges from
Autometer, quickly authenticate the car’s heritage. Yet the interior is both
comfortable and familiar with four passenger seating, factory controls, and full
dash. From there, life gets even better with leather door panels and full
leather rear seat (stitched and formed to match the front buckets); billet tilt
steering from Flaming River; Old Air heat and a/c system; and Harrison Classic
Car audio. As a finishing touch, the signature Terlingua rabbit is tastefully
embroidered throughout the cabin – testimony to the living legend you have just
entered into.
Of course all the beauty in the world is, after all,
only skin deep. But turn the key, and the beast explodes to life. You can guess,
from the classic shifter and trio of foot pedals, this car is meant to be
driven. The raspy voice of a 450 horse, 347ci Ford crate motor drives that point
home; with a Holley 750 double-pumper, Stan’s Try-Y headers, and Dr. Gas side
exhaust rounding out the sonic signature. MSD components light the fires within,
while a 4-row aluminum Be-Cool radiator keeps the heat in check.
Piloting the DM-450 is a primeval delight, thanks in large measure to the
World-Class T-5 transmission and Currie equipped 9” rear with competition
override torque arms. Generous boxing support and custom bracketry at key points
throughout the chassis unify a full compliment of Global West, Pro Motorsports,
Koni, and hand-built suspension components including the exclusive Terlingua
export brace. For rolling stock, pure Goodyear rubber and super wide toque-style
wheels from Vintage Wheel Works keep everything glued to the road. Handling is
precise, controlled, and race ready, but more than civilized enough for daily
driving. Finally, as any professional driver will attest, the most important
system of any car is the brakes. And the Terlingua Mustang has the best: with a
custom Force-10 four-wheel-disc system from Stainless Steel Brakes.
If you’ve ever dreamed of a driving a legend, resurrected from the pages of
trans-am history, the Terlingua Mustang DM-450 is your dream car. Each vehicle
receives the unique Terlingua Racing Team identification plates, hand numbered
build tag, a certificate of authenticity, hand signed original lithograph of the
car from Bill Neale, and exclusive membership in the Terlingua Racing Team
Driver’s Club.
