My 1987 Supercharged Mustang GT - "red87gt"
Here is a picture of my car 2 days after I bought it in July 1987.
This is what it looks like now. Modifications started in 1990 with the basics like K&N, advance timing and anything else that was cheap and easy, but that was soon not enough and by 1992 a Vortech A-trim supercharger and a Compucar Nitrous System had made their way under the hood. The nitrous system is gone now and the A-trim was cashed in for an S-trim.
The car was repainted back to the original Scarlet red. Then I taped the flames off myself and had the body shop paint them on with Torino red paint.
The flames in the sun after a polishing and zaino application.
Interior Gauges and tach
