Figured I'd start a thread while I build my car, the car originated from Alabama where it had a sad start to life, the car was used to transport drugs and moonshine without bring to much attention to its self so the car was dolled up like a ssp with the black 10 holes and paint like the asp. Well the car was seized buy police and used as a undercover car for a few years before a family friend bought the car and took it to California where it had a nice life as a cleaned up dd but was shipped here to Michigan and sat for 2 years and after a failed attempt at building my 86 I bought this one.. As of now the car is gutted waiting for the cage to go in.


More details to follow. After work that is

I went carb because I already had the victor jr and a carb because the motor was previously built for a blow thru turbo my dads car is also carb (10,000rpm 327)... The color in the valve covers is ford racing blue powdercoat form ford racing (or summit sells them too) but this is NOT the last motor for the car.. Already planing out a bigger pump gas motor.

Thanks you. I'm making slow progress. A lot going on in my neck of the woods. Getting married in may and looking for a house while trying toget the car together for next season. The motor will look better when I put the new water pump on. The one on it is just as old as me lol we used it to mock up the alternator bracket

Ful length subframe connectors, 8 point roll cage, 8.8 rear end, team z relocated uppers and double adjustable lowers, strange shocks/struts. V8 rear springs with 1 coil cut. Pa racing tubular k member with tubular arms, strange coil overs 12" 150 lbs springs and team z caster camber plates. Flaming river manual rack, manual brakes... Nothing chassis/suspension wise is origanl to the car. I basically bought the car for the shell. The dash and interior plastic is the only orignal parts on the inside I'm keeping
