Default 89 Fox Body LSX


I bought this car with the roll cage and mini tub already done. Planning on making it into a street/strip car that will eventually become a serious strip car. It is a unique fox body because it is one of 80 that was a special purpose car for Colorado in 1989 and it was an FBI car not a highway patrol car. It will get a new k member, trans, an 04 GTO LS1, Holley Dominator EFI system, and a single turbo.
