I’ve been trying to search up some 70s/80s/early 90s automobiles that to an enthusiast is awesome/collector item, but to the average person, they wouldnt know a difference or care. focusinprogress’ post about the shelby made me start this one.
Cars during this era with awesome engine swaps count also!
Ill start
1980 Firebird Turbo Trans Am Indy Pace Car
Merkur XR4Ti …
just cause ive owned a few
my sentimental car…
enough said.
a mint condition 1st generation z24. I thought about restoring one of these and putting my motor in it for a long time.
Syclone’s were awesome! Here’s another similar variant.
the rest are OK, but the turbo TA
and NOT the '89 w/the GN 3.8 turbo v6
wtf
carbureted 301 FTL. have you read Any reviews on this engine from the time it came out? i think it was unanimous that the entire world hated those cars. god wouldn’t drive one to be nice, he would part the sea and laugh when he got out and drowned the fucker
^I have a thing for 2nd gen firebirds, 3rd make me puke. But yeah the 301 turbo sucked, but the car itself was hot
For my Ford/Yamaha buddie (somedude)
Taurus SHO, Contour SVT, Sleeper fords of the 90’s

well, let’s talk about 400/455 swaps. the cars are pretty good looking. however, we can pretend that the turbo CARB’d 301 never happened

cam gears. /thought
contour svt what? does anyone even mod those? i have, literally, not seen one on the road for years. i do like them, however - in theory. just like communism. however, i’ve yet to meet a former SVT contour owner that was pleased with the car
