You mean an original red one, with red interior? I really don't know but i would have thought the red would have been more common.
Actually now that I think of it, I think I have only seen 1 or 2 other ones in person. Thanks ThunderCat. I will be posting some pics of the interior soon... not very good at all, at least to me.

The dash has a pretty decent crack in it under that cover.  I will be getting a dash cap to install, but i am looking to change the interior to another color. Not completely sure if I should or not. Sorry it was dark when i took the pics.

Are you still running an air to water setup?  I'd be interested to see some more detailed pics. :) 

I was considering that before I got my Big NPR Front Mount.

Sorry Carl. The water-air intercooler was removed before i purchased the car. I just was saying he had his best 1/4 with it. One of these days I'll go and get my own time.

Before, YUCK! and after

Anybody know if these wheels will work. It's a great price. I know they're for a mustang. I was wondering if with the 19 front and 25 rear offset if the 17x10's would work without moving the quad shock since the axle is 3/4 of an inch longer than the mustang. Thanks let me know please.

the 17x10's will work perfect on your turbo coupe. the only thing you might have to do is remove the quad shocks or flip them for better fitment. i had 15x10's with quad shock for a while on my cougar till i upgrade to 15x12's in the rear.

Love the red. I don't think I have seen one that color before. I agree the red interior has to go.
