Ford Super Coupe land speed car?

Got a look at the car. It was hit about 4" in front of the rear bumper. The frame rails are perfectly straight, but the tail lights and bumper were toast as was the trunk lid and the RR corner was dented a bit. The bluebook on the car is low, so they were going to total it, but apparently my grandmother-in-law found a shop that used junkyard tail lights, bumper and trunk lid to fix it. I couldn't even tell where it had been hit. So it's basically a pristine looking 87 Turbo Coupe automatic. Looks like my father-in-law has made his intention of getting the car pretty clear, so I think we're pretty much a go on this one.

 

Need to get that rule book.

Go for it! Those engines are pretty stout in factory trim.

Here is a little info on the volvo DOHC head conversion.

Hope that helps. Keep us updated as it comes together. I think it's an awesome project.
