Don's '68 Mustang Ultimate Turn-Key Package Build & Test Drive

"If the website isn't concise enough...the information I got from Mark was detailed beyond imagination. I couldn't be happier." - Don G.

Don's car came to us with factory suspension and a tired FE under the hood. This was the perfect candidate for our Ultimate Turn-Key Package install (Engine - Trans - Cooling - Fuel Supply) along with some other work including Wilwood brakes, guages, etc. Just love the way she turned out and we think Don is pretty pumped about it as well.

"About 2 to 3 years ago I started looking for shops locally that could help me with the electrical and the drivetrain," explained Don. "The problems with shops in the Portland area is they're busy all the time and have a feast on custom conversions / hot rods. They make far more money on body work and interiors than they do on powertrains. It's not that they don't do powertrain work but that is definitely not their priorities. So consequently, I couldn't even get the two top shops here to give me the time of day. They would not return my calls, so I went out to their shop and sat in the office and waited to be seen by the owner. I was there for hours...and he wouldn't see me. He knew what I wanted to do because he'd done work on the car before with the previous owner. The problem is that they have so many cars in their queue to do expensive work and then no desire to get involved with my project."

"That's when I started looking online and when it came to power conversions I came across Prestige Motorsports. If the website isn't concise enough, the information I got from Mark was detailed beyond imagination. One year ago, I shipped the car and it was ready to ship back one year later. And that centered around you guys moving your shop so I can imagine the logistical nightmare."

"Mark kept me up to date on what was going on with the car once the work began right to the point of me showing up, coughing up the final bill and getting it ready to be shipped back. You're two technicians, Chance and Berry, took the time to point out all the things that have been done and I might add it looks spectacular. I couldn't be happier. I'm actually in the process of trying to figure out when I can send it back to have a few more things done on it. I don't drive the car very much but when I do it is not when weather is bad. In Oregon the weather is perfect from late Spring through midfall and the Summer months get little or no rain whatsoever. Not so from late fall through mid spring, especially the winter when it's cloudy 70% of the time and raining about 50% of the time. Perfect time for you guys to have the car to do your magic on the suspension."

"It is really unfortunate there are no speed shops that aren't also custom hot rod shops. I have no idea if they create their own power plants or if they source that out to companies such as yours."
