my 85 ltd wagon

[Hazel85Ltd]

Figured I'd put up a few pics of one of my projects, its a 85 ltd wagon that has 95k on it 1 owner old lady car I bought on Craigslist for cheap. Was a 3.8l aod car that had a rod knock and no brakes, it has sat since 96.


So I got it home and pull the 3.8, and put in a 5.8 that's 40 over, f cam, Windsor srs, 1.72 rockers, victor Jr intake, and a c4 with a 3400 stall.




Then I five lug swaped it using a fox 8.8 with 2.73 gears and sn95 spindels and brakes. Right now I'm gathering parts to put in the 3.73s and pbr aluminum calipers up front.
street wheels 17x9 mach 1s.
drag wheels centerline warriors with 255 mickys had to roll the rear 1/4s with these and the mach 1s.

Next upgrades are going to be the 3.73 gears, hook up the heat, move the battery to the rear, sump the stock gas tank and put in a fuel system, nitrous, and make a small cowl hood for it. As money permets right now I have right at 2,500 in the car including buying the car and all the parts.

Looks like it will be alot of fun. The color works great with what you are doing. Sleeper among sleepers. I love keeping the outside appearance stock looking and having a beast under the hood.

I am in Valrico and spend alot of time in Tampa so I hope to see it on the road soon. Good luck on finishing the project.

That's why my mom won't let me have her 67 Galaxie until after she's gone. A 390 should not have a two barrel and single exhaust haha. Neat build, I like the sleeper look.

Thanks I wanna find some 15 or 16 inch steels wheels to put his caps on to compley the look..

Nice wagon!
Looks like the body is really clean.
Really nice combination. A sleeper...until you turn the key?
The Mach I's look good.

Its actually pretty quiet 2.5 magnaflows and 2 2.5 resonators sounds like a stock mustang ideling.
