Unlimited Nutrition

The bird is mine of course and the 4 eyed coupe project. The white Chrysler 300D is my boss' but I will probably end up buying it. I love it and I drive it more than him anyway lol. The 59 AMC Ambassador is his, I am rebuilding the front suspension and steering on it. He has quite a collection including a 69 Road Runner, two twin turbo vipers both at 1700hp, a 65 barracuda, and a few other things. I do most of the maintenance for him on the side.

I know!! I was secretly searching for one. I had been on here lurking the for sale section, then I got a call from the owner of this car who was in need of a truck and I happend to have a truck so we swapped. funny thing is its the same color as my last bird! Everyone thought it was that car again.

The headlights are the first thing I noticed too. They are perfect! To my knowledge they are the originals.

Hope you plan on a 5 speed or C4 if youre going for more power!

Sandalwood is supposed to be a pretty rare color though.

When tax time comes around it will get a 5 speed, different turbo, boost controller, gonna make some sub frame connectors, different rims, and a front mount. Then thats it. Nothing else. i swear! lol

You can put a C4 behind a 2.3? I've been thinking about building a fox mustang drag car with a 2.3 and a C4 but I didnt know they had a bellhousing to put a c4 behind a 2.3.
