Highlights include a Ford Motorsport Boss 302ci crate V8, Holley HP multi-point electronic fuel injection, a 5-speed manual transmission, custom Moser 8.8-inch rear end, Koni double-adjustable coilovers, and engraved 15th Anniversary Halibrand-style knock-off wheels. Special badging, exclusive gauges, anniversary floor mats, and extensive polished and engine-turned detailing further distinguish this limited-production roadster.
