slidebite posted:Interesting. I don't know if I've ever seen it in alloys, but tbh I haven't exactly looked either. In the 70s/80s it was super common with steel rims. At least in the podunk wastelands of Northern Alberta it was. A guy I know just put a set of those same dual pattern smoothies on his 64 Ford. It's me. I'm the guy.

That's a second Gen, 92A. 500lbs lighter than the first gen turbo. I'm just amazed that with 516 ft/lbs at 2250rpm that the rest of the thing held up. Just day dreaming here but low mileage engines for them at wreckers are cheaper than ford 6.2s, even including turbos. Low mileage transmissions are $1500. Rotors and pads are cheaper than my truck.

As long as it's not a Turbo S, which (almost? all?) have PCCB and are insanely expensive. The few Turbos S I saw when I was looking were passed on for exactly that reason.

Only a $10k option when new, because the new price includes the core refund on the steel brakes  Also I think they’re supposed to last much longer than the steel brakes so it’s a wash
