article claims it has a Mercury engine in it.... not much but body panels left, even frame rails got changed.

Looks like a 2nd Gen to me.  I'd roll in it, but not before replacing that ridiculous 1,000,000 HP motor with my 230 HP one...

having survived the 80's it seizes to amaze me that its 2016 and people still cant help them self's in ruining these beautiful machines.it sort of makes me sick but at the same time gives me pleasure in knowing that the value of mine will keep climbing

That looks like shit.

Since when did Restomod=Pro touring?

I never cared for the grille, but it turns out the grille had to be shallower to clear the massive intercooler.



The taillights are worse to me.

Change the rear tails back to stock, and put the F&F mesh grille in its place, and I love it.

Id love to have it.

Yeah the tailights need to go back to stock but everything else is tits....

Not a fan of the cowl hood

Looking at all that exhaust tubing under the hood, I can't help but think it would get mighty toasty under there. I assume the reason for the cowl hood is mainly to vent hot air.

It's kinda funky looking for sure, and I guess an "in the flesh" example of what most of us don't want our cars to look like. To each his own.

It was on Jay Lenos Garage too. They explain the whole car.

When it comes to classic cars I'm more traditional than not, but I wouldn't mind owning this one.

I agree and It almost looks like they put some weird slope on the rear of this? I dont like the way it looks. but cant complain about 1650 HP

I watched the video. Holy Shit.
