Re: ASC McLaren
did asc make all the verts for the Ford mustang(in the 80's) or just the mcLarens? The McLarens were only 2 seaters with a tonneau cover right?

Re: ASC McLaren
The Verts are technically special, who needs an extra badge???

Actually AFAIK ASC & McLaren are seperate companies, they did some projects together. They outsourced the Seats & such to other companies like Triad. The Mustang verts (or at least around 1990 - 1992 ) were converted by C&C. My girlfriends Dad worked for C&C at the time and said they did conversions.

Re: ASC McLaren
All '80s Mustangs were built by C&C (except the ASC McLaren 2-seaters) and were factory authorized and supplied to Ford dealers. ASC & McLaren were seperate companies that partnered to build the 2-seaters. Those were not factory authorized, but were marketed and sold to Ford dealers to resell as new cars. To learn more, see my wiki article:
