Title: Missing magazine article
Post by: THOR 50 on October 27, 2004, 12:24:51 AM
Does anyone have the article on the racing school that used to use Modified late 80's Turbo coupes with HO V8 conversions and continental parts for 5 lug suspension?
I saw it on the old board or NATO, copied it but the hard drive just crashed and I lost it. :dunno:

I've got the article, it was in a 1987 issue of Motor Trend magazine. The cars were for Bondurant racing school, and they had HO transplants with the 5-lug conversion (but if memory serves, it was only on one axle, either front or rear). I'll try to find the magazine later on.

Wasn't Eric massing up a collection of these articles? I remember giving him the Oct '86 Road & Track with the 87 Turbocoupe on the cover. Medium red metallic w/raven cloth interior.

Being as I have a 5.0 Turbo Coupe I'd like to have the Bondurant article(I met him a couple of years ago at a FFW). Somewhere I already have the other one.

Speaking of magazine articles...does anyone have or remember the article in Car Craft about a red 83/84 Turbo Coupe that was swapped over to a 460 with a dry sump oil pan system? That car was awesome!! Looked stock on the outside-with the exception of 10 holes and fat BFG's-but when you raised the hood it was nothing but motor!! It was also the first in a series they said they were going to run about real world cars' performance. The owner actualley let them drive his car at the drag-strip!! Don't remember any times, but I know it was impressive for the times (late 80's I think?). I know I had the issue because the car looked exactly like my 1st 83 Turbo Coupe (red over red) and I also know I lost the magazine to a break up with some bimbo I was seeing!! (Long story, don't ask!!) Wonder where that car is today?? Later, RAY

P166 (P233 in the other room), and it's already got first-generation USB built-in.  I'd also have to "upgrade" from 95 to 98SE (minimum), but I don't want to, and YOU CAN'T MAKE ME!!!    :raspberry  :moon:  :crazy:
