More to come, it was dark when I got it home.
86 Shelby Charger that was run as a salt flats car. Sticker on the back shows it in the 130 MPH club at Bonneville.

So there is some rust on the rear quarters, but it's a race car, not a show car, so I can fix the bad areas good enough
UNSTUCK
But stuck more often.
As long as it has pencil with teeth marks in it.

The other reason I bought this car. This is probably 1/6th of the parts it came with.
He even kept the paint chips.
One of the seats. No tears or stains.

Has a leaky fuel line in the back and only half the exhaust is installed, but it fired right up. The video doesn't do the exhaust note justice. It has way more rumble in person. Sounds a bit rowdy. 😁

I have the other blue seat, I just need to switch over the rails.
It drives, at least around the block! Still needs a bit to be really roadworthy, but it does build boost quick!
A pair of 86s

BOV from an Eagle Talon installed in the Laser. Makes cool turbo noises now 😎

So the turbo on the Charger leaks oil.... bad. James Bond smoke screen bad. Luckily I've been collecting parts so I have a good T1 turbo that I took out of the Laser. Put a new exhaust housing on due to broken bolts that i don't feel like drilling out right at the moment
Still needs a little clean up, but it'll do the job for now.
The difference between the T1 and T2 turbos on these cars is the EGR valve on the earlier T1s. The T2 don't use the EGR.
The one in the car will go out to be rebuilt.

That's a good BOV--it opens quickly and flows a decent amount. If (when?) you decide to run 20+ pounds of boost, I can show you how to modify the valve (they start leaking at that point).
