High Bid: $3,900
In the early 1980s, American Sunroof Company (“ASC”) was a growing “OEM” (Original Equipment Manufacturer) in the automotive industry doing convertible conversions and other limited editions of several different cars. ACS’s relationship with the McLaren engine development branch of Bruce McLaren Motor Racing spawned a Capri coupe in the McLaren colors of blue and orange. That limited edition car started the ASC McLaren series on the Fox-platform Mustangs and Capris built from 1984 through 1989.
Enter Peter Muscat. He was a free-lancing engineer who knew ASC founder Heinz Prechter. Peter came up with the idea of developing a two-seat roadster based on Mercury’s version of the Fox-Body Mustang, the Capri. Prechter loved the idea, and ASC took over the concept and developed it for series production with buy-in from McLaren to provide several styling and performance enhancements.

What’s the story on the braded title? Also, is there any interior, engine, or undercarriage pics available?
Hi Greg,
We’re anxiously awaiting the pre-purchase inspection and the additional detailed pictures it will provide. Unfortunately, bad weather in the seller’s area continues to delay getting more pictures in outdoors. Regarding the Branded Title shown on the CarFax, the seller was surprised to learn this flag. The current caretaker purchased the car approximately six years ago. The seller then was the son of the deceased second owner, who obtained the car as part of his father’s estate in 2005. Given this car’s ultra-low mileage, we believe there was some sort of mileage reporting error when the son transferred title and ownership to himself following his father’s death. The current owner reports the mileage to be only 23,980 and is confident all of the pictures we will soon provide will leave no doubt as to the low mileage originality of this rare car.
I am trying to bid on the Mustang but find no place on the site to place same. Help me with this please
I am curious to know where in Minnestoa this car is. If I bid and win, I will more than likely need to have the car shipped.
Hi Michael, this car currently resides in Beaudette, Minnesota. The zipcode 55623.
Great, thank you!
Hello,
Is there any paper trail to verify the mileage, based on the Carfax either something was not checked off correctly or clarity would help
