This thing is awesome, talk about a sleeper. I wish he would get more specific about what mods he did.

I imagine he did a lot of rear suspension work. Those things had leaf springs, with the power its making with the turbo it would probably have insane wheel hop with the stock suspension.

Or maybe he didn't and that's why he's selling it lol.

I wonder how he gets the traction for 12.50's with those tires.

That's pretty sweet with the draw thru turbo... I'd drive it!

You can run a draw thru carb/turbo setup on any gas powered engine. Well I dont know about 2 strokes.

Hahaha, love the ghetto cupholdersYeah, at first I'm thinking wtf is that and then I figured it out. I doubt this car runs 15's let alone 12's. The overall excecution screams rigged. Love the scoop on the hood for the carb too.......not. My guess is that the car is completely stock save for the junkyard turbo stuff. Basically a budget experiment that probably doesn't run too good..

It does look like an oddity and strange layout on the turbo. I doubt it runs overly well.

This reminds me of the 1971 Ford Galaxie Burt Reynolds drove as an undercover fed in "Gator." Anyone else remember that car?

I didn't want to tbe the first to say it.

Now the guys at TurboFord (http://www.turboford.net/index.shtml) know how to make power. I'm talking about 300+ hp from a turbo 2.3L 4 cyl! The SVO Mustangs are real sleepers. My T-bird TurboCoupe was great fun!

Sorry, NO fox body is a sleeper anymore. Specially not the mustang.

I doubt the 12 second part. I give it 13.5 to 14 flat. Those things are slow to start with.

Yeah with that original 140hp 318, I'd bet it runs around a mid 18 1/4 mile...

I had one of those once...it kinda got in an accident though...rrrrr, rather a whole bunch of accidents, in the middle of a big mud ring filled with cars. For some reason I couldn't seem to get the car out of reverse... ... But it sure did a helluva job!
