Mike, tomorrow I am going to my lawyer to alter my last will & testament in which I left you my 86 coupe. You ain't driven' the balls off of HER !

First trip would be to ATCO Raceway for a baseline...

Mike,

That car of yours lauches hard! What are your 60 foot times? What have you done to the suspension. I would like to build a Mclaren look-a-like out of a 85 Capri I found. Race the wheels off it!

David

Best 60 Ft is 1.57.

Suspension/Chassis consists of:
Eibach drag launch kit (airbag RR)
Lakewood drag shocks
Southside HD rear upper control arms
Central Coast mustang weight jacker adjustable rear lower control arms
Torque Box repair kit
Kenny Brown subframe connectors
6-point cage

and just to give ya'll some background the reason i decided to go out of my way for this car is because i know how rare some cars are.... i mainly look for turbo coupes (my car of choice) and SVO's and capri rs's as i hate to see them parted out or even crushed.....

Speaking of Turbocoupes...

1985 Turbocoupe Red/Gray ext. & Red/black interior(Black carpet, headliner, rear deck carpet).

Car has approx. 130,300mi. on it and it runs fine but has been sitting since June when the inspection ran out.

Body is in ok shape, has some rust on bottom of drivers door and on bottom of body(nothing major), scratch on drv. qtr panel, and some other minor things from age. Interior needs the rear upper qtr. pieces replaced or painted/dyed.

Has a 2.5"-3" cowl hood(needs paint), rear spoiler, side skirts, 87-88TC wheels, gray 85 Mustang GT front seats, Autometer boost gauge, gillis boost valve, 3" exhaust with no cat and Magnaflow muffler.

Looking to sell by this weekend because Ill be off and its just taking up space and I could use the money for my mustang. Will take $900 or reasonable offer near that.

Im located in Delaware County, Pa like 15 minutes from Airport.

Did anyone ever hear what happened with this car? I should have called and bought it.

Sandy · Post by **Sandy** » Sun Mar 19, 2006 11:13 pm

I asked that question several times, back around Thanksgiving, but never got any reply... It's too bad. It was a really nice one with original Radar & Stereo and in very good condition.

Does anyone have a # to call i will be glad to ck and see if it is still avalable.

I tried to buy the car. I talked with Wanda at length about the car. It had been repainted about 2 years ago. The car has over 100000 miles, had some minor issues. I just could not come to an agreement on price. I called and left her a messege about a month ago, to see if she still had the car, with no reply.
