    Am interested. I am heading to Road America later this week and may try and stop by if I can (not sure if I can). If not, will get in touch with you next week via email.

    Very cool...and looks to be VERY nice! Those cars were so cool, and ahead of their time with heated seats in 1986. I'd buy it if I had the space....I'm sure a car like that would garner a lot of "what is it?" attention at car shows and cruise ins

    Ohh man. What a RIDE! Thank you for preserving that unique piece of history. Definitely way ahead of their time. The 4 door which was called a Scorpio wasn't it? (yeah, I've heard of Google), anyway that car had reclining REAR seat backs. Very, very cool.

    And quick too! 86GT vs Scorpio if you weren’t on the stick out of the hole or missed a gear a Scorpio would remind you what tail lights look like.

    This one with upgrades? It is likely time to crank the ol 5.0 HO’s timing up to full kill or you’ll probably get lulled to sleep by the spool then killed by boost

    Always wanted to see a stock SVO vs Merkur at the track on slicks battle. Weight advantage to the SVO.... but it has its 3.41 gear with a 4:1 low to overcome though
