Lone Star Classics recently revamped its entire shop, and showed off all its hard work, plus a dozen LS427s to its “family” of customers and visitors. Also announced at its open house was a new, custom-engineered independent rear suspension package, using only 100-percent new components. To enhance both performance and ride quality, along with easier installation and adjustment, this IRS consists of an 8.8-inch Ford differential (3.55 gears, Eaton Truetrac, Torsen type) with custom half-shafts and uprights. The brakes are Wilwood four-piston calipers with drilled/slotted discs and an E-brake caliper.

In addition, Lone Star has new, in-house servicing capabilities, such as offering a seven-day, in-house build for the LS427, plus complete turnkey and turnkey-minus (less engine/transmission) vehicles. A half-dozen different drivetrain options from The Engine Factory are available on turnkey cars, so that Lone Star now serves as a one-stop shop.

If you weren’t able to make it to this past open house, Lone Star  will be hosting another one house within the next few months. Stay tuned for more developments on the company’s Cobra lineup.
