From Bedford Hills

[Art Caley]

Hello everyone. Thanks for the invite, Mike. I bought my 1990 Mustang LX5.0 new from Pleasantville Ford. Over the following years did several mods to it until it had heads, cam and intake with a S-trim Vortech blowing 15 psi and a T-56 six speed. Mustang Magic burned a chip and dyno tuned to 533 rwhp. Loads of fun for a street car.

Now a new project. The Stang is growing up to become a Factory Five Roadster (AC Cobra Replicar). Approaching mid way through the assembly and have the Mustang mostly in pieces now. Sure is weird to look back and see a car I bought brand new in my garage in pieces.

Hope to catch some of you guys at Bear Mountain this summer...

Hi Art.

This is nice to start meeting new people in our local area. All of the sites that I have frequented have had people based in other states - not that I haven't created good and lasting friendships through them, but it is nice to meet people that you can meet up with in the local area.

Welcome Art! Thanks for joining up, it's good to see another Westchester guy.

Sounds like you've had fun with your fox for some years, and many to come! I am hoping to do the same with my 2002 GT. I bought it new, have changed it and even though I say I'm done, I will continue to change and modify it, and hope to keep it for the rest of the cars' life.

Do you have any pictures of the progress? Sounds awesome, would love to see it!

Welcome Art. Hatch or notch? Our cars sound pretty similar (mods, power, etc). My car has been in the Mt Kisco area alot over the years....we've probably seen each other around.

Hey Thanks

Thanks for the nice words.

I see a few Stangs around me, but not many. One is a black 200X GT and a '98ish Cobra.

Here are a couple of pics of my LX before I parked her for the kit car build.

The bottle on the left side of the engine bay is the washer fluid source for the Snow Performance Boost Cooler. I highly recommend this addition to the higher boosted engines. It helped get me to the 533 rwhp level. But sure fooled alot of guys with this plain looking Mustang, especially 'vettes...

Nice car man.

Well, it was

Its kinda funny to have owned a car for 16 years and then decide to dedicate it to a replicar build. As some of you guys know, you get quite a collection of funny stories with Mustangs through the years.

Here's some recent pics:
