I remember when I was in my early teens, fantasizing about the car I would be driving when I turned 16. That birthday happened in 1990, but the car I always saw myself behind the wheel of, was a 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429 Fastback, complete with hood scoop, spoiler and racing stripes. I must have seen myself in my minds eye winding up the mountain road in that beautiful black and chrome street machine a thousand times or more. Sun shining; windows down; Cheryl McGadden, the cheerleader of my high school dreams, sitting in the passenger next to me.
Well, needless to say when I finally got my drivers license, it turned out to be my mom’s old station wagon I was cruising the strip in, with my geeky best friend in the passenger seat next to me. Who knew that years later I would be making my motor vehicle choices based more on how economical and environmentally friendly they are, and less on whether or not I can blow the doors off that 1969 Camaro at the red light.
My love for old-school muscle cars with maximum horse power never faded, however, and I often lamented the unfortunate inevitability of the death of these classic icons of American engineering. The prices at the gas pump threaten to make these beauties nothing more than show room trophies.
Thank goodness there are some very smart people over in Knoxville, Tennessee that share my passion for the American muscle car. They also happen to be experts at classic car restoration and muscle car restoration kits. Keisler Engineering want to do everything they can to keep these cars right where they belong...cruising the strips of every town in the U.S.
The Keisler Engineering Company has done something, in my opinion, worthy of a new category of Nobel Prize. Keisler Automotive has developed a line of 5 and 6 speed transmission system conversion kits for a wide variety of classic street rods. These are high tech, high performance manual transmissions kits designed to easily mount right up, require minimal or no cutting of floor boards, and most importantly, offer the driver of a classic muscle car speed, horse power and fuel economy previously unthinkable.
Keisler offers a PerfectFit classic car transmission upgrade for the following years and vehicles:
