Well since my black Z is taking so long to build (to much i want to do to it). I figured i would grab another one to be my daily driver. so i found one on good ole craigslist and went to get it. It is a 87 shelby z with tan/yellow interior(yuck- goin to med gray). The car has not ran in 10+ years. It has a rust hole by the e-brake cable. surprised not me. So i paid the guy and got some extra parts that were in his attic-louvers! And forgot to mention that if i didnt buy it that day it was going to the crusher on monday. After i got it home me and jackson got it running. Then the engine went boom when we test drove it. The bottom end looked like it was from walmart.lol So i tore it down and found out that it was an 85 non turbo block with cast crank and junk rods and we cracked the pistons. oh yeah first time the car ran since the motor was build. The guy i bought it from had the distributor in 180 off. As I started to tear in to the car i found lots of nice parts will list below. So as i am re building the car if anybody has any suggestions please feel free to add them.
