If I could convince the missus, we could have his n' hers matching white Speedsters: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford...iewItemQQcategoryZ6236QQitemZ4588490692QQrdZ1 If nothing else, I'd love to have the audio system equipment from this car.
That's exactly why it would be perfect for my wife; e.g. she can't operate a manual transmission & doesn't want to learn.
ah haha. Nice catch. "Did I tell you" uh huh. YEa, you know, pulley down the alternator to get super-electric-charged boost.
WTF kind of S/C is on that car? There is a "snout", as he calls it, sticking out where the alternator should be. It is moved up and to the right. However, it looks like it has the stock plenum?? That's wierd, I've never seen anything like that. He "promises" so it must be true haha. I'm going to run that ford part number he lists...

Yeah, I thought the same thing; e.g. where is the supercharger the owner claims is on the car because I certainly couldn't see one in the engine compartment photo. But now, thanks to BobV's helpful posting & comparing the photos again, apparently there is indeed a Ford SVO/Motorsports/Racing Performance Parts supercharger lurking under there.
And if it runs out of gas crank the radio up and vibrate to your next gas station. What's up with the 800 pounds of stereo equipment?
