Here is a picture of the car outside the dealership in Atlanta, GA. When I arrived it was parked behind a 71' Hemi Cuda on the showroom floor.
Here is the car parked next to my DD.
Here is the car in it's new home that is soon to be cleaned out.
I finally got it home. I have been looking for one of these for almost two years, and here it is. It turns out to be more car than I expected. I thought it was close to stock, but it turns out not to be. Upon a closer inspection it has several mods. Including a larger turbo, fuel injectors, fuel pump, hot wire kit, 160 degree thermostat, intercooler, air intake, chip, and a anti theft kill switch. Probably some more, but I need to take a closer look. I purchased the car from a dealer who acquired it from the cars original owner Butler Brothers Racing out of Pheonix, Arizona.
I have already discovered two aspects of the car that I absolutely detest. 1) I hate the itsy bitsy tincy wincy side view mirrors. They were a constant headache on the drive back from Atlanta, but I have no plans to alter these. 2) I hate the digital dash. It has a speedometer that flashes at 85, and a fuel gauge that reads in gallons. There is no temp, boost, psi, or RPM gauge. I would like to eventually add some gauges.
I know everyone says that the first item to purchase is a Scanmaster, but the first item that I purchased was a set of new tires. The Scanmaster will be second.
I do intend to upgrade to new fuel injectors, a new fuel pump, and a new hot wire kit. It has already been suggested that I get 60lb fuel injectors. Are there any suggestions for a fuel pump, and hot wire kit? Also, I would really like to overhaul the complete fuel systems to suit my desires. Any suggestions concerning other fuel system components?
