http://www.g2motorsport.com/merkur/
This is my buddy Ric Gillis' car (actually him and his brother are building it). Its a Merkur XR4Ti that they are building up for import drag racing and something else I'm not really at liberty to divulge
. The car will be powered by a Ford YB motor from a Cosworth RS Escort (what the Merkur was in Europe). Its a 2.0 16 valve aluminum head motor with the shortblock derived from the old Pinto 2.0 (nothing in common with the 2.3). This car is in New Port Richey and the pics don't do it justice.
BTW, his brother Rusty is getting out of a lifelong career of NHRA Stock class racing an original Mustang (I believe it was a 428, definitely a big block though). He is the second owner of the car, but it only has like 3k miles on it, every one of them drag racing). He's got a very nice tow rig that he's keeping around for the Merkur.
