1979 Mercury Zephyr 2-door sedan

 

Jim Howlett

It's got a 302-cubic inch V-8 and C4 automatic transmission.

 

Jim Howlett says: I bought this car in 1989 for my daughter when she was on Maui for the summer. It had 44,000 miles and I paid $1300 for it. The color is Ford Medium Blue and White, and has a white interior. It used to have the 200-cubic inch 6, and although I always liked the car, I never liked the 6. It had so many vacuum hoses and so little power, that I swapped a 302 from a 1978 Fairmont station wagon...it was almost a bolt-in, and also swapped in a 1989 Mustang rear end. The engine has headers, a Crane cam, Windsor Jr. heads, roller rockers, and a Holley 600. Now it is dependable and has a little more go-power!
