Ive been on the fence for the last year or so about building a turbo car. After looking into the red 92 Coupe I have, I decided I didn't want to cut that car up to be a race car. So after thinking long and hard, I just decided to build another car.
This car belonged to a friend back in the mid 90's and I was around 19 or so when he pulled into the driveway with it. It was one of the cleanest cars I had ever saw. I think back around 97 when he got it, it had around 30K miles on it. Reef blue LX hatch. Had a stock 5.0 bottom end with Edelbrock heads and performer intake, 5 speed and a built rear end.
I saw this car during Craig's Cincy Speed street car shoot out back around 2011 I think. It had to be the same car.
Anyways, I went down Sunday night and picked it up. Now it has a older Ford Racing C-347 crate motor with Z304 heads, 3550, and a Nitrous Express plate kit. Not as clean as it once was but still a nice car.
