In the late 90's
GB Motorsports built the first retro-Mustang on a Fox Mustang platform.
Although the enthusiasts were very excited about the car, there was speculation that Ford
would bring one out soon and thus made it a tough sale. There was even a trade
magazine that published on the front page that the GB
Mustang (latter re-named to Boss
5.0)was the car that Ford should have built for 2000.
Marketing a car is not cheep and GB Motorsports had
its share of financial issues in order to market and produce the GB
Mustang properly. Several cars were built and are still on the road including
two fully prepared race cars (GB400R)
one which is was campaigned by Online-Racer.com and won the 2001
SCCA Super Production championship.
Not being able to go out an purchase an original
roadster, we found some old parts left over form the car builder and
decided to make them work on our 89 convertible and make it our
daily roadster.
Our 89 Mustang has gone thru an extensive set of
face lifts thru ought its life. Starting as a stock 89 GT this car became
our R&D vehicle and still is.
