snapped just a few pics of the newest toy today. basically i came across this car while being a gt2871 turbo and an intercooler away from a nasty d series build, but quickly sold 90% of it to get this ol girl. enough chat, more pics





now for some of the bad....



Picked her up at a very very reasonable price, well knowing what work needs done. got about $1100 more to play with to get some interior pieces, and get a few miscellaneous things for her to get her to pass emissions, then she will sit, and be rebuilt over time. almost a restoration.

SWEET ride.....doesnt look to be in that bad of shape at all. If you ditch the wings, dont loose or get rid of them, the car is worth more with them. If you doubt that.....my uncle just paid a fortune for some old 60s shelby spoilers (like in the 1k+ range)

they were, and still continue to be a pretty limited production. in 1989 only 895 were built. as far as the engine goes, nothing to fancy, just a 5.0, pulled 2-3 cars on another lightly modded, (IHE) 91 5.0 by the top of 3rd.



forged 5.0 on 100shot? :P Im gonna get her back to mint condition, then lightly mod the engine. engine and trany rebuild, maybe some giggle gas, who knows?

hahah i knew that was coming :P

may seem like a wierd question but does the ac and ps still work

word, the body and interior are staying as factory as possible. the only noticeable exterior mods will maybe be some wheels (ignore the gt wheels i have the original saleen wheels that need tires), and maybe a different exhaust setup

sure as hell do ill leave the ac and everything on there, but i wont ever use it. Im a windows down hear the rumble kind of guy :P
