So am thinking I am at a fork in the road with my 85 Coupe. Its an original 5.0 5spd car. I am pretty happy with it but have been thinking of building a car with a stroker. Which would mean a lot of changes to this car if I put a stroker in it. When I bought it I knew I could put it close to stock without to much trouble if I wanted. The car has 44K miles. Original paint that looks much better in pictures. Looks ok but could really use the bumpers and a some spots painted maybe a total repaint. Never had any rust or accident repair the interior is in great condition. Could keep it just the way it is, put a stroker in it and mod it, or put it back close to stock. Two things I would probably not change back would be the dual exhaust and 8.8 rear end. I also have 85 SSP that runs but needs a restoration. Would probably have to get ride of one them if I got another car to mod. Car really is mix of original parts and mods.
Has true dual exhaust with factory headers
8.8 With 3.73
5 Lug Conversion but I have 4 lug axles
Mach One Wheels but the car came with what I believe are the original aluminum wheels
