Car Tales: So Classic, Ford Mustang Fastback Pro Street Hot Rod

Pro Street – as in Ford Mustang Fastback Pro Street Hot Rod – also known as a back half or tubbed car, is a style of street-legal custom car popular in the 1980s, usually built to imitate a pro stock class race car. Essentially it is a synonym for hot rod. Pro Street cars are close in appearance to cars used in drag racing while remaining street-legal and with a full interior.

Cars of this type typically feature two of the following three modifications:
• A highly modified V8.
• A narrowed rear axle coupled with oversized rear wheels & at least a 14″ (36 cm) wide x 5+” (13+ cm) sidewalls (located within the wheel wells) for maximum grip and wheelie bars.
• A roll cage.

Aside from the rear suspension and wheel wells, cars of this type often remain unmodified past the firewall, keeping stock floorpans, a full interior with windshield wipers, carpet, and working lights.

Well, our Mustang Fastback Pro Street Hot Rod certainly has the requisite powerpacked V8, a Ford 390.
The Ford 390 was a 6.4-liter (390.04ci) gasoline big block V8 engine that was produced between 1961 and 1976. The 390 is a torquey and bulletproof motor that’s still popular with performance engine builders.
The Ford Mustang, Mercury Cougar, and Fairlane GT are some of the most iconic muscle cars that featured the 390 engine.
In these cars, the 390 provided excellent power for straight-line speed and competitive drag racing performance, helping Ford cement its place in the muscle car wars of the 1960s. And wasn’t the Mustang with a 390 one of Ford’s best combinations? A powerful engine wrapped in a sleek, aggressive design.

Driving a vehicle with a 390 engine provides a blend of raw power and smooth torque delivery. Whether in a Mustang or a Ford F-100 truck, the 390’s responsiveness allows for quick acceleration and strong pulling power. The engine feels smooth and powerful, even at low RPMs. If you’re after an engine that delivers both power and a pleasurable driving experience, the 390 is hard to beat.
Now, there is a growing trend of owners converting their former drag race cars into street machines. These retired racers still pack serious power under the hood and retain the traditional look, but the quality of craftsmanship has skyrocketed, with special attention to body, paint, and drivability.
And the Hot Rod we have right now is the perfect example of such modern muscle motoring.
