This one's even rarer than the Shelby

Is that a '68-'73 'Vette I see in the far left of that second picture?

You'd think someone with 50 posts in 15 months would put at least a cursory amount of thought into each post since he has so much time to think about each one.

Those are some old pics of it before it got fixed up. That's what I got for $35.

If you seriously got that car for $35 you got an exceptional deal. The only problems I see are easily fixed, and it doesn't look like there is any rust. Rust is my arch-nemesis, the scourge of my existance and the devourer of my beloved Honda. (14 years and still completely stock, 217,000 miles and 31 mpg.)

Hey, that's what I decided to go with Buying a '73 914 with the Chalon body conversion. Also found an LT1 engine for $2200 that I'm thinking about doing the swap with.

I've read someplaces that it'd get 0-60 times of 4 seconds or less, without spinning the tires. Damn I love mid engines.

I believe the time of 4 seconds, but I don't believe for a moment that the car wouldn't spin the tires. The 100 hp 2.0 flat four can spin the tires. An LT1 in a car that is under 2,000 lbs will be able to melt tires. It will still stick better than most though, and I'm inclined to think that the 0-60 time might even be pessimistic. One thing to worry about with the 914 though; it's not galvanized. The 914 rusts if you drive it by a box of saltine crackers.

Does the body kit cover the rocker panels? Those are a major rust point. Along with the bottom of the firewall and the rear for the floorpan. Also, the front trunk area around the seal. They are amazing little cars though as long as you don't try speed-shifting the transmission. All that fun and 30 mpg too.

Doesn't cover those places good to know. All I've heard about was the side panels being trouble spots.

Isn't that a regular Contour with some skirts and shyte?

SVT is a limited production contour, has a 2.5 duractec v6 with a few different things to make the horsepower 195. They all came standard with the ground effects, leather, 5sp, and theres prolly some other stuff im missing.

edit: I just read your post about it being a real one, HELL YES its real i would never do that to an SE. Its an e0 so it might have different stock rims than the one youre thinking about.

btw mwilding yours is damn nice, but i still live toreador read better

From an Edmund's review:

What did Ford do to differentiate the Contour SVT from the SE? The most important thing Ford did was modify the engine to give it more horsepower. By introducing an extrude hone intake manifold and secondary ports for the cylinder heads and a unique throttle body and air filter, the freer-breathing engine is able to make 195 horsepower without increasing its displacement. A 2-pound reduction in the weight of the flywheel means that the SVT's engine spools up considerably faster than the SE's. This is important since peak torque in the modified engine occurs 1375 rpm higher than in the regular engine. Other performance enhancements in the Contour SVT include 16" alloy wheels, Z-rated Goodyear SC performance tires, larger front brake rotors, standard anti-lock brakes, a 19" front anti-roll bar, and a unique spring calibration. Visual enhancements include unique front and rear fascias, rocker sill extensions, dual exhaust ports, special SVT badges, and a very cool gray-faced instrument cluster. Luxury touches include leather seats, power windows, power door locks, remote keyless entry, air conditioning, rear window defroster, and a power driver's seat.
