GarageScout Take

The 2011 289 build, Mustang-sourced T5, and Mustang II front end give this Caliente a documented custom configuration, with a three-inch binder preserving receipts, build information, and the cam profile card. Mileage sits below the middle for this generation.

Strengths

  • The 289 V8 build dates to 2011 and is supported by a three-inch binder of receipts, build information, and the cam profile card.
  • Clean Utah title in the seller's name, with refurbishment photos and build documentation included.
  • The five-speed conversion uses a hydraulic clutch, Hurst shifter, and later-model Mustang-sourced T5 transmission.
  • The build includes a Mustang II front-end conversion, front disc brakes, CalTracs traction bars, and mini-tubbed rear wheelwells.

Watch For

  • The original trim tag is missing, and an aftermarket VIN plate is riveted to the vehicle after the inner fender panels were replaced.
  • The Mustang II conversion removed the original shock towers, and the body has been modified with suicide doors, shaved door handles
  • The seller notes cosmetic imperfections consistent with use since refurbishment and some runs in the paint finish.
