MAKING A GOOD THING BETTER
It’s a simple concept really. You see, when you build six-figure cars for one person, many others stand by and wish they, too, could have such a fine piece of work. Of course, all that one-off bodywork, tube frame construction and sculpted interior is just too pricey for most street rodders, and that doesn’t even consider the price of an artist concept study and subsequent drawings.
However, after spending all that time, money and effort to produce an aesthetically pleasing and award-winning design based on the venerable ’32 Ford, why not mass produce the car in fiberglass with the same great chassis and super smooth lines? That thought crossed Boyd Coddington’s mind when he did the original Boydster, a fenderless highboy roadster. The next progression was to add fenders to the car and so, being a sequential kind of guy and is good with numbers, Boyd decided to call this one the Boydster II. The car embodied all the great style of the first car, but now with fenders.

Old School, Perfected: Blue Ribbon Roadster Is the 2026 America’s Most Beautiful Roadster
At the 2026 Grand National Roadster Show, the spotlight wasn’t just on speed or style—it was on craftsmanship at the highest level. Among nine jaw-dropping roadsters displayed in Building 4, one car quietly—and then undeniably—rose to the top. Nicole Baird’s 1932 Ford Roadster, built by Squeeg’s Kustoms, claimed the coveted America’s Most Beautiful Roadster (AMBR) title, proving once again that traditional hot rod values, when executed flawlessly, still reign supreme.

The Borgeson Mustang P/S Kit is here to save your arms and enhance your driving experience. This power steering conversion kit is a game-changer for those who crave better steering ease, responsiveness, and overall driving comfort.

Say goodbye to the days of wrestling the wheel. The 14:1 quick ratio power steering box cuts down the effort needed to turn the wheel, giving you precise handling and better control, especially when you’re navigating tight corners. Borgeson makes it easy by packing all the necessary components into one kit. If you’re stepping up from an outdated manual steering system, this kit’s got everything you need for a smooth conversion. Quality matters. Borgeson assembles and tests their power steering boxes and pumps right here in the USA, using top-notch components from around the world. You get reliability you can count on.
WHAT’S IN THE BOX
Here’s the lowdown on what you get with the Borgeson Mustang P/S Kit: The power steering box is the heart of the conversion, replacing your old manual gearbox and making steering effortless. The P/S pump generates the hydraulic pressure needed to turn your wheels smoothly and consistently, ensuring you get that power assistance exactly when you need it. Connecting the steering column to the steering box, the included half rag joint ensures a secure and snug fit.
BEFORE YOU START
Before you dive into the installation, there are a few things to keep in mind. This kit is designed to fit 1968-1970 Mustangs with manual steering and 289/302/351W engines, so double-check your Mustang’s specs. If your Mustang has the factory Z-Bar clutch linkage, this kit won’t fit, and you’ll need to explore other options. Additionally, you’ll need a 2-row crank pulley for the conversion (not included), so make sure to grab one separately. Borgeson backs their kit with a solid 3-year warranty, guaranteeing the durability and performance of their power steering components. Drive with confidence knowing you’re covered.
IN SUMMARY
Upgrading to power steering is a total game-changer for classic Mustangs. The Borgeson Mustang P/S Kit delivers unmatched quality, ease of installation, and a significant boost in handling.
