1992 Ford Mustang
Summary
This fox body Mustang’s original 302 Engine was recently converted to a 347 CID via a stroker kit from Eagle. It still has the stock T-5 manual transmission and 8.8 rear end with drum brakes, but the gear has been changed to a 3.55. The car made 340 horsepower and 371 pound feet of torque during our most recent dyno test and tune (check out the dyno test and tune video on our YouTube Channel). The Mustang was repainted with PPG DBC base coat/2021 clear coat in its original color of deep jewel green metallic. The original wheels, interior, and even the “5.0” badging have been retained to give the Mustang a stock and “sleeper” appearance. This Mustang was featured in episodes 1, 11 and 14 of Burd’s Garage.

1968 Mercury Montego MX
Summary
This rare Montego was a local find and shows only 61,000 miles on the odometer! The car contains all of the original parts under the hood, interior, and trunk. It also came with its original window sticker! The 302 V-8 has the VIN number stamped on the back of the block and has the original aluminum engine tag on the front. Some of the other (few) options with the car are a C4 automatic transmission, power steering, AM radio, black vinyl top, and wheel covers. It also has a very rare “power ventilation” option, which helps forces additional fresh air into the passenger compartment. The Montego is featured in episodes 2, 7 and 9 of Burd’s Garage.

1968 Mercury Cougar
Summary
This vehicle has yet to make an official appearance on Burd’s Garage, but it’s worth highlighting here! This has been an off/on project car in the shop since 2003, going through many different concepts over the years and has never been on the road. A few years ago, we changed course again and decided to go full custom, as the drivetrain for our Cougar will be from a 1999 Mustang Cobra. We also recently eliminated all of the side trim, marker lights, and emblems from the body.
Restoration/Modifications
- Full TCI Mustang II Pro Touring Front End Kit
What's Coming Up?
- Fab work to fit an IRS from a 2003 Mustang Cobra
- Ford 4.6 4v assembly
- Final body work and prep work
- PPG Basecoat/Clear Coat. Color will be Dodge Viper Blue Metallic
- Final Assembly and Cruisin’
