Default RE: '85 Turismo Project

Hello DR.
Thanks for the response. The following info you probably already know. There were actually 2 Turbo Interceptors (M4S) made and 6 prop cars from what I have gathered. The original M4S is in the Dodge Museum. I plan to go see that some day. I hope they let me take pics. The other fully functional M4S- I'm just going to call the car Wraith- is owned by a private collector. Of the 6 prop cars 4 were destroyed in the movie. 1 prop car is in Wichita, Kansas- supposedly being refurbished. I got an e-mail from the guy that has it. He says he'll be updating the site soon. His last update was in May. I sent him an e-mail asking if he wanted to sell the prop car-no answer.

I just rec'd an e-mail a few minutes ago from a guy on the TurboDodge site. He says he has a SuperCharger especially designed for my Turismo. It has never been used. I am looking to get a reasonable price for it, and have it shipped to me. If this happens I will forego buying my 2005 Mustang GT and go full-bore on recreating the Wraith. You have given me information I didn't have previously, which is great. I now know who did the frame work on the Wraith. This will help me to move on the frame of my Turismo. It is my understandiing that the Wraith was basically a prototype of the Daytona and is on a Daytona frame. Well I didn't have anyone give me a mint condition Daytona for free....lol So I will work with what I have.

This will be a really cool project. I just want everyone to know (I've said this before) the engine is not the object of my affection with the Wraith it's the body-style of the car. I believe Acura tried to copy the body with there car that was used in Pulp Fiction. The body on the Wraith is awesome. I have dreamed of this car every since I saw the movie. Now to be able to actually bring the dream to reality is within my reach. I just told my wife "screw buying a 2005 Mustang" I want my Wraith.

Again DR thank you for the info update.
