1971 Ford Mustang Mach 1 No.22 Joey Logano livery

This iconic monster is for a driver with big balls and an intense desire to be seen on track and in the paddock. Light up the rear wheels? You bet. Slip it up the inside on the approach to Paddock Hill Bend? Try it. Woaw, the queues of people to see it over the last 2 years at Brands, Castle Combe, Donington, Snetterton and Silverstone. If you pilot a small helicopter you would probably be able to fit it on the roof or on the bonnet (sorry, the hood).

I would consider an exchange for a race Mustang with HTP.

The new-for-2017 Joey Logano tribute livery is vinyl wrap only, so you can restore it to its original Ford Competition Orange paint and historic numbers if you wish (see photos). To my knowledge this car is not yet eligible for HSCC and other historic racing requiring an HTP but I have not tried very hard and it's the same period as the Camaros winning at Goodwood. The car is currently and correctly registered in California and wearing the appropriate registration plate.

Race modifications in the last two years include 1½ inch lowered front, new wishbones, high rate competition springs, thicker 1? inch front roll bar, fabricated roll bar links, new rear leafs, new extreme-anti-roll at the rear, new rear roll-bar, new Koni shocks all round, new suspension bushes all round, new wheels, new brake master cylinder and non-servo set-up. This is a car which does 140mph at Spa, Thruxton and Silverstone GP on a Race Technologies data-logger.

Huge spares package including long diff for Spa, suspension parts, headers for 351 engine with TFS heads, fibre glass fenders (wings), starter, alternator, etc., by negotiation.
