Thunder Road - Pictures
Thunder Road is the name of my 1982 Mustang LX. It's come a long way from it's cozy black interior with a 4 cylinder engine under the hood, coupled to a 4-speed transmission! Now it's a 900 horsepower full-race car. Check out the specs page for full details of what's in the car. The pictures below were compressed between 30 and 70 % and are all <100K. I sold this car in Spring of 2006 to a very lucky guy!
