1979 Mercury Zephyr 2-door project, Tampa

Updated link in original post. Come and get it!

Someone should buy this and put a SVO/TC turbo 2.3 in it.

Ooh, that should be the parking lot build for this year.

In reply to slowbird :

You should be that someone. I like it but too many coals in the fire. 

I will probably be evicted from my home if I buy another car.

...unless it was stored in a remote location until such time as I could make room for it...

How long are you talking and where are you located?

I have a shortblock and enough cylinder heads and parts to make this happen at a cheap FMV.  It will make 10 psi of oil pressure and 20 psi of boost.

I've always been a fan of the 2:1 rule.

In reply to Stampie :

Realistically, I have no idea. I'm going on a trip to Colorado in a week and that will chew up all my disposable income for who knows how long. If this thing is still for sale by late July, maybe I could make something happen.

I always thought you were supposed to add them together. Oil pressure + boost > 0 = winning.

In reply to slowbird :

Let's me know if I can facilitate.

Lots of interest here and on CL, but no action.  Zephyr gotta go! Show up in Valrico with your trailer and $350, and take home a titled Zephyr. You can figure out exactly what to do with it later.

I'll take it, now just bring it to Michigan for me.  Anyone with an empty spot on a trailer heading north?

90% chance it would be the best Lemons car ever if it could end up in Michigan.

Sale pending.

i was just about to say "in for $20 if it helps enable a challenge Zephyr"
