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!

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
