Hello everyone. This is my first Super Coupe and its a 1990. I picked it up yesterday for $175. Overall, the body isnt too bad. The driver side rocker panel is shot. The interior is in good condition. The car has 113k on it and its a 5 speed.
From what I understand from the previous owner, he bought to fix up and found he didnt have the time. I guess the owner before him had put in a high performance camshaft. The camshaft was not installed properly and it came out. So you can imagine what might have happened. I purchased the car with the engine already torn apart. I found some goodies in the trunk. I found 1.7 Scorpion Roller Rockers, Comp Cams hardened pushrods, BBK 70 mm throttle body, some sort of aftermarket mass air, I found a super chips setup on the computer, it has a short throw shifter, and supposively a stage 2 clutch. The hard part will be putting this thing back together. I have thought out two different game plans. 1, being to repair what is needed and assemble, 2 would be do buy a new engine. I have yet to remove the heads so I have no clue what the valves look like. The camshaft is obviously boogered up. I am not seeing any damaged lifters though. So we shall see. Overall.. I am happy with the purchase. I only paid $175 for this thing so how can you go wrong??
