308 MPH Jet Powered Ford Mustang For Sale On Craigslist In PA

This is what happens when you take out the trusty Ford small block 302 engine and replace it with a salvaged US navy jet engine from a Banshee fighter. The jet engine is so big it fills the car almost to a point where you can only just get a driver in it . Good luck steering it lock to lock !

The car was built by Ted Trischler near the Heinz plant in Pittsburgh. He bought the Mustang new as a body-in-white '67 fastback, Ted cut through the middle of the car to make room for the Westinghouse J34 jet engine. The front axle came from a '39 Plymouth, the brakes from a '58 Buick, the shocks are aircraft struts, and the twin parachute and throttle controls were designed for a Starcraft speedboat. Ted claims that this 67 Ford Mustang can hit 308MPH – we are willing to bet it gets a bit toasty inside the car, luckily there doesn’t appear to be any windows installed so at least there will be some fresh air but that must not help aerodynamics – this is one of the coolesty Mustangs we have seen in a while and its yours if you have the cash $30,000 on craigslist in Pittsburgh PA! We wonder if he ever built a Cobra Jet?
