Pete's New Project Fox Body!

I shouldn't say its a project , b/c this car is flawless . Only has 14279 original miles. Car has been garaged kept all its life and has no dents or scratches, not even rock chips.

Here are a few pics , I dropped off a deposit yesterday and will be picking it up in three weeks.

My plan is to do the following:

Built SBF 331ci Dart Iron Eagle Block 4 Bolt Mains
Re-use the Edelbrock Aluminum Heads which are match ported to Intake.
Steeda Pro rear Drag suspension Kit .

The car already has a Ford Racing RPM Extender
Anderson Fords PMS
Performace Automatics Super Comp C4
Fuel System Complete.

The Owner gave me a UPR K-Member kit complete with a-arms and caster camber plates .
Flaming River Manuel rack w / adjustable steerig shaft
All are brand new haven't been installed yet.

My origial plan was to put a Turbo Kit in place of the Vortech , but I think since its a Old School car there's nothing like a bad ass motor and that vortech sound. Besides it will make things easier, all I would need to do is upgrade the supercharger to a T-Trim .

Car should ru in the 9s I think .

Well here are some pics.

Nice....I agree there's nothing like the sound of a Vortech S/C on there! Is it an '89 model?

That must be a rare color...hardly ever see it. My coupe has the same color firewall and aprons underhood so must've been the same code.

My wife Maggie (MAGSNAG) - her 90 is that color and the color is called "light crystal blue"... Pretty limited production with that color.

Anyway - sweet ride Pete!

Yeup its an 89 LX, I believe it was the 1st year you were able to get the GT Interior also an anniversary model I think I could be wrong.

Not many in that color .

I checked today with my buddy he said the s/c had already been sent back and upgraded to a R-Trim , so I guess I can keep things as they are.

Pete
