I bought this car put together by someone else. I disassembled it, fixed a few things and added a few more modifications (like redoing the entire oiling system). It's got a Super 60 with a 75hp Nitrous Oxide System. The car has been lowered with Eibach PR springs, new struts and shocks. The wheels have been upgraded. The interior came with racing buckets but, I replaced them with the stock interior. The seats are lightweight Shelby seats.

The tailights were customized by removing the red relector and installing red bulbs.

The engine compartment is highly detailed and contains a Super 60 with a custom roller cam, windage tray, MSD, 75 hp Nitrous Shot, 52mm TB, K&N cone filter, front mounted twin intercoolers, custom cal. computer, ported head with oversized SS valves, TII intake with elbow removed, a/c gone, and metallic blue paint matching the stripe color.

This car sparkles in the sun with recent paint.

I pulled the engine apart. I enlarged the oil pick-up tube opening, filed the pump/block mating passage and welded in a windage tray.

The mixture was too rich so I used the Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator to lower the fuel pressure to 20psi. I adjusted the timing. I built a cold air sytem for the K&N cone filter that put it behind the headlight. It still didn't go as good as a stock TII so I checked the cam timing ... out by a tooth. Now it's FAST! It easily leaves 200' of posi rubber in second gear at only 15psi. With the 3 bar computer this car should make 400hp at 25psi. I love it!

Is that a 'patch' or what?

The twin intercooler system was blowing pipes off so I welded beads on the ends of the pipes to fix that problem. This is the cold air intake pipe (Blue) and the two Intercooler pipes (silver). The HKS SSQV is shown welded to the intercooler pipe.

Behind the hideaway headlights is two Intercoolers mounted in front of the radiator. More than enough cooling since they're mounted in parallel.

The car also overheated on me so I installed a bigger rad and replaced the water pump with a new impeller and polished the w/p body.

I finally got around to rewiring the accessories (Nitrous, Neon light, Rad Fan Switch), soldered them into the fuse box properly, and finally built my Hi/Low Boost System and wired it into the new dash panel. I also painted the dash and the panels Black. Since the car doesn't hookup until the end of second gear I couldn't run Full (25psi) Boost until I get the car into third gear - henceforth the switch.

I plan to buy some racing Radials and then I'll finish the Nitrous Fuel System, since it's not worth hooking up until then.

Ya its to bad you had to go costomizing that, there were only seven of them made, even not running and in original condition there worth at least $180,000. Ya if you see an original hala.
