It’s 1980. The Miracle on Ice happened in February, voters elected Ronald Reagan president in November, and the year’s highest-grossing film was Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back. A brand-new 1980 Ford Mustang started at $5,338. A pony car that cheap sounds like a dream come true these days. However, McLaren Engines got its hands on a few of those Mustangs and turned them into something that cost nearly five times more.
