you’re a VW humper…get out of this thread
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.

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
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
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.

did i say my 90 cabriolet should be in this thread?
oh you’re right though a n/a 300z with a haggard swap qualifies here… :bloated:
