Recognize this New To Me, 1988 GT/PA Mustang 289 Project Car
Longtime member, lurker, Super Stock fan. Have been wanting to give class racing a try for decades, recent health issues dictate now or never, lol. Just purchased this 1988 Mustang, 289 based GT/PA car. Appears to have some past history on the West Coast, more recently in the Ky., Indiana area. Just getting started sorting through what I actually have to work with. Looks like it made a couple of passes late last season that were under index, but honestly don't even know if it was legal, at weight, etc. Short term goals are to just go over the car, update some suspension and wiring, verify it is actually legal, make weight, make some passes, and see what I have. Going to be slow moving for the next couple of months. I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Prostate Cancer, and have been moving pretty well through that, then started having back pain. Last week, couldn't walk. Spinal surgery last week removed a tumor that cured that, just healing and planning now. I have build sheets, a few past owners names, and a few pictures to get started here. If anyone knows the car, please share. I appreciate it. Looks like it might have belonged to Joe Stadelman and later Brian Gaines somewhere along the way.
