BEFORE & AFTER

This is my 85 TurboCoupe. I bought the car for about $900, the previous owner had already swapped in the 2bbl 302.

Other than the engine swap and the front bumper cover (TurboCoupes have fog lights) the car was stock, for now.

The engine is in decent shape and is backed up with a C-4. I can keep up with my friend's 85 Mustang. He has a 90 5.0 engine w/ a T-5.

The first mod I did was toss the manifolds on the engine for a set of used MAC equal length headers. (I know the headers are too much as of now.) Mustang H-Pipe and Flowtech Stinger Cat-Back system finish off my exhaust.

Dude, I gotta know who owns the 86' special edition picture 58. There were very few of them made and I really miss mine. Yours is BAD. Just what I wanted mine to be.

I have always loved those 98 Cobra wheels, and they look even better on the Bird than the Mustang!
