Description:
This
is my second turbo
Ford build up. The
first was a Capri
and by far my 87
Turbo Coupe is
much more the car.
Handling is
terrific, ride is
great and who can
refuse to oogle at
a sweet bird going
down the street?.
The programable
ridefunctions are
nice to have, but
I think the
automatic lights
and dimmer is
pretty cool. All
my friends dig
that. The color I
first found in '94
and put on my
bike, and looks
even
better on the
bird. The pearl
purple comes out
in the sun and
gives a neat
effect.
Just need to get a
head unit and my
pumping stereo
system complete
w/12" Pioneer
sub and Phoenix
Gold amp will be
in stalled.
