It's for sale too!!

Man if it was a little under half that price I would be down! I love pacers.

wonder how it compares to the K Car with the supercharged 3.8 out of a GTP laid out in the proper rwd configuration with some sort of IRS setup that i've seen at the Car Craft show the last couple of years?

Where's Javelin? Didn't he have a couple of those Super Coupes at some point? The Pacer is in the Pacific North-West too.

Seems like a lot of work when you could get similar results with a lightly boosted 4.0 I6 that would bolt in. Cool nonetheless.

sometimes, it comes down to using what you have laying around..

Seems like I remember Art Arfons saying pretty much the same thing when asked why his LSR monster had a Packhard steering system.

I like the wheels.

Looks like a well thought out conversion.

A little strong on the price, but I like it.

That's awesome in a train wreck kind of a way, but it does seem an odd engine to swap in.

Ahhh... The unexpected... I like it!

I had Turbo Coupes, not Super Coupes. Still a neat build. Wonder how they got 5 on 4.75 Chevy wheels to fit either the 5 on 4.5 AMC hubs of the 5 on 120mm TBird hubs?

Well I remembered you had some form of forced induction T-bird.

There are aftermarket versions of the Corvette Rally wheel with dual bolt patterns (5 x 4 3/4 & 5 x 4 1/2"):

Makes it easier for the street rod guys running Nova front subframes and 9" Fords out back.
