Most of the Iaccoca Mustangs where ordered with the Whipple supercharger and big brake options. But the base was offered with the Bullitt tuning at 320 HP - exactly why wouldn't you get the Whipple if you were shelling out that much cash! The base car without those options stickered at $90k and $105k with those options.

The #'s on the car don't seem to make sense with or without a SC on it. I thought the 4.6's made 310HP? With a blower, around the low 400's?

How does this one end up with 360? Just curious, what is reported doesn't seem to add up under normal circumstances?

So found a link and it seems to agree with my nominal skills and in-house calculations. How does it get 360 or did they mean to add RWHP to that #? (That might make sense if its around 400 at the crank with a blower on it).

It is probably a misprint. The N/A version was 320 bhp and the supercharged version was quoted as 400 bhp(although I think that was underrated). Edit: Just read that the Whipple HO supercharged Mustangs were rated at 550 bhp.

Interesting Iaccoca Mustang Fact: Only 43 were painted silver. #44 was red and #45 was black. Talk about rare if you had the red or black!

You have to understand, this is no ordinary Mustang.....it is exclusively for the rich and collectors. It is not meant to be driven every day racking up miles but only to sit in show rooms.

Dealer down the road has an extremely rare factory fluke 1967 GT500, with a long story that causes the value to SKYROCKET.

It has 27,000 miles original. Every part on it came from the factory. He doesn't even drive it. Just starts the engine a few times per week and lets it sit on his showroom floor. Not for sale.

A member on here (Barry) has an '07 PP like mine with like 400 miles on it.
I have 11K enjoyable miles.

no, they know exactly what they are doing. they are paying pennies on the dollar for goods that they get full price for and laugh all the way to the bank.

they paid 70K for that car. id say they know exactly what they are doing.

smart business people yes, good ethics? not really. they would screw their own mothers to make a profit. wait....you know what i mean. LOL
