[quote=“Penfold,post:83,topic:31877"”] well, if those cars as rare as you say, it must not have been the exact model. I just did a quick google search of the year and found out some quick wiki info and went back to look at the car. Looked exactly like the picture. They wanted $1800 and it was rusted everywhere, the interior was stripped, only a front drivers seat left, and when i looked under it, appeared to have been sitting (rotting) for a very long time. Was on buffalo st (seneca st) just outside EA. [/quote] EDIT: N/M… didn’t know you meant the veedub. if you are refering to my post, them yeah… you must have the wrong car. The SWB (short wheel base) t-bird sc’s were originally designed and modified by kenne brown for SCCA racing to improve handling. I believe there were only 6 ever produced, of course you can have one made if you come up with the $12,000 and two cars if memory serves me. taken from [www.sccoa.com](http://www.sccoa.com) > They are shortened 8" to bring the wheelbase down to roughly the size of a Mustang. Originally conceived by Kenny Brown to compete in certain SCCA classes. I will say they handle very well. > > Weight savings is really minimal over a stocker. The unibody 'bird only has sheet metal to give up. I did not get a chance to weigh mine, but the weight guess is only a couple 100 pounds lost. There is no additional chassis support added, the halfs of the car are welded back together. I always say mine is about stock weight, because I had a roll bar added. I also had a jacking rail welded in at the pinch weld on the bottom of the car on both sides. It is 3/4 heavy wall tubing. Part of the stiffness of the SWB chassis just comes from being shorter than stock and makes it less prone to flex. > > The unusual “Z” cut is to save the rear quarter glass and gas tank. The cut is made inside the car to remove the rear footwells. I have a full fold down rear seat in my car. All of the glass is stock and the gas tank is in the original location. as for the mark 7 GTC… taken from this wiki > **[Answers - The Most Trusted Place for Answering Life's Questions](https://www.answers.com/redirectSearch?query=lincoln-continental-mark-vii)** > > Answers is the place to go to get the answers you need and to ask the questions you want > Of notable mention is the Mark VII GTC, a Lincoln Mercury dealer sold car built by Cars & Concepts with monorchromatic paint, a body kit, and available performance upgrades. A select few were sent to Jack Roush Performance for suspension enhancements and optional 5.8L and T5 manual transmission conversions. The Comtech Mark VII, with a CRT touch screen, may only have existed in prototype form. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/awesome-enthusiast-cars-models-list/31877)._
