Reppin the Euro scene with a retro touch is my 85 Merkur XR4Ti "competition shell"(rare model with no sunroof). If you’re tired of seeing the same "stickercharged" Civics and cookie cutter molded 350's then come and peep my "Magic Merkur". She’s got serious speed, sticks to the road, gas friendly (when mom drives it), brakes good, sounds right, looks the part and turns more heads then a chiropractor! Dyno charts and time slips to come, but expect between 470 and 490 to the wheels at 30 psi and mid to high 11's at the track with the right shoes!
If you are in the market for a Merk or need parts email Jeff at Blugg@MSN.com for all your needs~

This car was completely stripped of all glass and moldings when painted and was painted piece by piece.I have a lot of love for these misunderstood and greatly underated automobiles.MY first car was a hand me down 88 from my mom and I have been dedicated to modding them ever since.I appreciate it if you would take a minute of your time to review my car and give it a rating~
Thanks
Sean
