Great tires!

Stops straight.

Shifts good.

No weird noises.

New left front wheel cylinder/caliper


Kinda' dusty under the hood but figured you'd like to see...(Photo gallery)

Clean installation of the engine & tranny. Motor mounts are tight and to answer the most commonly asked question, "the rear end appears stock,,, and it works great!"

12-14 yr old conversion, still runs great!

New turbo according to PO

Tires are size 205/60 R14 they say ZIEX ZE512.

Wheel Caps say "MOTOR=X"

“Air Shocks,” I’m not sure of the brand.

Surface rust in a couple of areas, but really not bad or through the metal, it's a relatively dry, New Mexico car!

Front valance is a little cracked (fiberglass) but you can deal with that when you decide to paint it

Items that don't work I'm aware of:
Heater
Windshield Wipers
No hood prop rod.
Speedometer/Odometer... Mileage can't be actual
There's probably more, it's almost 40 years old. The paint is tired.. it looks like it was blue and re-painted green at some time before I received it.
More Info:

Interior is OK, not perfect. I've created an "out-takes" page showing the black seats and blue areas where it needs carpet to cover the original paint,,, basically showing the good & bad.
Rust is not through and through, in my non-professional opinion.

I've been told by the previous owner whom I can not contact or corroborate:
Engine is a 3.0 from Ford Taurus S.H.O.
Turbo is from Thunderbird (and recently rebuilt)

New exhaust too!

I've had the car a couple of years. It runs good, starts every time and gets thumbs ups wherever it goes. It cruises at 70-80 without revving very high due to the 4 speed overdrive tranny. I feel no compulsion to re-paint it. In spite of the gnarly looking close up photos it's a good looking car! Those photos are un-flattering but VERY close up in order to show you as much detail as possible. New Mexico & Arizona is where they store old airplanes due to the dry climate. If you're from the northeast, this is not rust as you know it. I've painted a few cars and in my non-professional opinion, this is surface rust and can be sanded off with 200 grit, primered then painted.

This is located in Rio Rancho New Mexico USA, a suburb of Albuquerque.

You can fly in to the Albuquerque International Airport & drive it home.*

Drive time at 75 MPH to Los Angeles is about 11 hours.

San Diego about 12 hours.

Denver, about 6-7 hours.

Dallas, about 12 hours.

San Antonio, about 10 hours.

I usually drive my classic cars about 60-65 MPH, so drive time in an oldie takes a bit longer.

Ecl 5:18-19:

Then I realized that it is good and proper for a man to eat and drink, and to find satisfaction in his toilsome labor under the sun during the few days of life God has given him—for this is his lot. Moreover, when God gives any man wealth and possessions, and enables him to enjoy them, to accept his lot and be happy in his work—this is a gift of God. He seldom reflects on the days of his life, because God keeps him occupied with gladness of heart.
