That body kit looks horrible though...and the engine bay is close to looking tacky.  At least it's clean and well taken care of.  I do like the smoothed out console.

About the only think I like about that car is the grill treatment.

........Oh, and it didn't start life as a Turbo Coupe. ;)

Hey, that's my club, the SE Minnesota Ford Club!! Those pics are posted on our website, which is getting kind of downlevel due to lack of maintanence. One of our members, who used to take care of our website, went to Ford's 100th Anniversary celebration and took a ton of pics. Some of those cars are pretty cool, some, not so much.

The interior isn't RED enough.

I'm not sure I'll ever forgive Ford for stopping production on the GT43 before I could afford one - fargin bastiches.

Seen that whole page of pics before the ca rlooks nice not a fan of the body kit 100% but still looks like a clean car and the engine set-up looks FBA. Also did you see the Saleen T-Bird?
