It took a little poking around but I found it.
An original, unmolested Mercury Zephyr Z7 w/ 84,000 actual miles. Closed the deal this morning, I'll pick it up next week.
Straight 6, floor shifted C-4 w/ a almost perfect black interior
Tell me how many fox mustang coupes are out there w/ perfect floors and sheetmetal, running w/ only 84k on the ticker, that can be purchased for 2200.00?
UHHHH none.
Now I know what you're thinking,....this thing pales when put beside a mustang coupe. How can I even compare the two?
2700 lbs. A coupe weighs what?
Same interior and interior dimensions as a mustang, but w/ more rear seat leg room.
Same suspension as a mustang but w/ 5" additional wheelbase.
Same engine compartment and K member
A trunk big enough to actually get something in.
Did I mention 2700 lbs?
What starts out appearing as "granpa" car, can end up as "go away kid, ya bother me" w/ just a few of the right outward mods. ( tires, wheels, paint, tint, stance)
My head is buzzing w/ plans,...( I'm like a 16 yr old getting his dream car)
Look for alot of homemade DIY projects on this thing, i.e. SF connectors, Panhard bar, Torque arm, Mini tubs. Clean, clean, clean. The stuff that I can do over a weekend, so the car can resume it's daily drive status on Monday.
One last funny note,...I asked the guy how were the torque boxes,...he said:
What are torque boxes?
I told him never mind,.....
It is after all a straight 6 automatic in a Zephyr.
Can't wait till next weekend.
