Here's a few of my last 1983

Full bridge-port 13B, N2O, Crane ignition, 4-point roll bar, gutted, 16 gallon fuel cell, Aeromotive A1000 fuel pump with -10 fuel supply and -8 return, twin e-fans, serpentine pulley setup from the an old Camden supercharger, full suspension, RB full exhaust, and a whole bunch more. Fun car to say the least.

Wow, that's clean! I like the whole package, very nice.

Thanks, P71. I bought this car and another from the same guy for $400 for the pair. I pulled both out of the weeds, literally. The other was a '84 GSL, which I pulled the rear LSD and some other pieces from.

The silver '83 went through 3 stages before I sold it back in 2006. 1st was just a street-ported 13B. 2nd stage was a large street-port with a 7" Camden setup, to which my dad destroyed at somewhere around 14-15k rpms. That why I made sure to have a full ignition system to control everything, along with a limiter. I went with Crane because I highly dislike MSD (the pic above is right after I installed everything and got it functioning properly). I intended to go turbo and N2O with the car. I ran out of funds for the project prior to purchasing the turbo setup I wanted. Plus, I couldn't get off of the nitrous. Kinda wish I still had the car, but I'm looking to go 3 rotor sometime in the future.

That's the factory 83 silver color, but I used urethane instead of BC/CC. Then I applied 2 layers of clear urethane to add more gloss.

That is a Holley breather, minus the air filter. The 13B would try to devour the filter element at 10k rpms, so I took it out till I found a suitable replacement.

Thanks. I kinda wish I still had it. I sold it to a kid in Michigan, then he sold the car earlier this year to a kid in Chicago. I have no idea where the car is today.

I'll own another one someday. Just has to be a 2nd gen to make a little more room for me.
