Pretty awesome, I did a build called project superbeater that may be of interest to you. Old 3valves never die!

My brother also has a 3v 2005 Mustang that is even more track focused than mine. Sure, the 3v 4.6L is no coyote, but it has enough power for my skill level and makes all the right noises!

Obviously, the "Old Crow" name comes from the famous P-51s (there were more than 1) named "Old Crow". It's my nod to the namesake of the Mustang! My brother's red 2005 track Mustang is named "Red Baron" after the Reno Racer P-51.

I got a leaky axle seal on the passenger side sometime during my road trip and track day at Buttonwillow in October 2024 and when I got the car back to Utah, replaced both axle bearings and seals. Good as new!

Where about in Utah are you? I was tracking my sn95 out at UMC. Getting a 3v and hoping to be back this year.

I’m in Farmington. I want to get out to umc for a track day! Where are you at?

I’ve lived in South Ogden for about 3 years. I’m moving to Vernal tomorrow (new job). I’ll have to hit you up when I pick my Mustang up this spring and head to UMC.

 

[OldCrow3V]

Yes, please hit me up when you're going. Did you get a 3v yet?

I did! Just picked her up today! She’s pretty clean. I’m also staying in Ogden instead of moving to Vernal.

At the start of the GS race at Sebring this weekend the fly bye was provided by 2 P51 Mustangs and those awesome sounding Merlins.
The 3valves are priced right and make dead dependable track cars. The 3Vs won the SCCA national championship in 2021... I think, back to back.

@AMF201091 if you're considering modding that sweet-looking 3v, take a look at the SCCA Club Spec Mustang rules.
