1993 Ford Mustang Griggs Racing GR40
The build started at Griggs racing in Sonoma by Daniel Judd, an employee to go Bracket Racing. I bought it as a runner and had it finished and modified at Griggs Racing over the last 10 years now. Built exclusively at Griggs Racing, she is a true GR40 set up and finished by Bruce Griggs himself. Provide Bruce Griggs with a Mustang and he will build a GR40 starting at $80k up to $150k with a 5 year waiting list. Why sell??? I have a 4-Eye 86 GR40 that needs finishing. Same old story “Can’t have two of them, have to let one go”. Happy Bidding!!!!!
Just ran the 5-mile with her at Thunder Hill Raceway for the Porsche and Friends Oct 22. Hunted down a lot of high dollar traction controlled cars Again!!!! Chopping them down in the tuns and twisty sections. Last month Sep 14 we ran her at Laguna Seca. We ran a 2 day event on Aug 26-28 with the Nor Cal Shelby Mini-Nats at Sonoma Raceway. The track list goes on and on for the last 10 years. She is as solid as can be, fully sorted out, and has never let me down at any track event or on the street. Yes, I said the street. You don’t see these Track Monsters come up for sale often, but you never see them as a smogable registered street car also. She is cut right down the middle as a “All Driver Momentum” street/track car. Not able to cheat/rely on horsepower, traction control, or anti-lock brakes this car relies 110% on the Drivers skill, input, and balls, to learn, to advance, and to perform. This is a car that produces skill and forces you to advance as a driver in ways no “Drive by wire” car can. Very few “All Driver” cars are Computer controlled “Play Station” car killers. This Gr40 surprises as well as upsets a good percentage of them.
As a street car we left the stock 5.0 motor with smog legal BBK shorty headers, BBK cold air intake, and underdrive pullies. Also running a stock 5-speed with short sifter, MOD shifter extension, aluminum flywheel, Centerforce clutch, and aluminum drive shaft. Rear axle is an 8.8 with 355 gears, Moser 31 spline axles, C-clip eliminators, with 9in axle ends fabed to install Willwood rear disk brakes with an internal E-brake. She still has the stock dash, interior heater/defrost and controls, center console, all interior panels, rear set delete, head liner with dome light, Dinomat and full carpet, functioning head, tail lights, and turn signals, metal doors, stock door panels, electric windows and locks. Would need street tires, the 4-cat H-pipe and smog pump installed for for street use. Eazy one hour bolt in or out for smog.
As a track car she is stacked with all the goodies. Full Griggs Suspension, extended caster tubular K-member and A-arms, Koni coil overs, 650 rate front 450 rate rear springs, subframe connectors, tower brace, camber caster plates, 3 link rear with panhard bar, TA Performance cover, and oil catch can. The power steering has an upgraded pump and rack, solid bushings, adjustable tie rods, steel braded lines, and larger pully. The SSBC front and the Willwood rear brakes have freshly bedded in new race pads. 50/50 weight balanced and aligned with monster 315/35/17 tires on all 4 corners. She is square with 315’s but larger tires will fit in the rear if you prefer a staggered set up. Interior has a quick release steering wheel, 6 point roll bar with low door bars, Kirkey aluminum seats, and 6 point racing harness for driver and passenger safety.
The body is all Mire Racing, fiberglass 2.5in cowl hood, fiberglass 1.5in fender flares with stock fender lines, locking fiberglass rear hatch with a lexan rear window, fiberglass rear whale tail rear wing with 3rd brake light. She has a decent Track style paint job and she shines up well. Normal track nicks and chips. One mention is a 4” crack in the bondo where the rear fiberglass fender flair meets the upper quarter panel. No major dents, bangs, bumps, or broken flapping pieces. The body is solid and she’s a great “5 footer”. She gets a sh!t load of attention with her Fire Engine Red paint and Black interior.
Yank all the interior out of it, install some fiberglass doors, and add horsepower to finish into a track destroyer, slap the smog back on it and be a unstoppable street pimp, or keep it just like it is and just have a kick A$$ time beating up on others at the local tracks.
