Description:

1979 Mercury Zephyr Z7 coupe

Condition is Used.This car has been a project car for me for years. I was the second owner and for years my wife used it to commute to work. I replaced the original 4 cylinder with a turbocharged 4 cyl .and 5spd trans. out of a 1981 mustang. I also installed 4.11 gears which are still in the car. My wife drove it for some years and then I grabbed it. I installed a built 1968 289 engine, new T5 trans, hardened axles, and an auburn lunchbox locker. The rear end is a 7.5 " ring and pinion. One top of the motor I installed a Holley 174 supercharger with a pulley that puts out 7 psi at 6500' elevation (where I live). It is light and fast. I am selling it because I have been diagnosed with Macular degeneration and have trouble seeing. Otherwise I would continue to build. There was some rust repairs done on the left rear quarter 6yrs ago. The speedometer cable gear stripped right after I replaced the trans. Other than that, everything works. Included are various parts and repair info, books, etc. Buyer is responsible for pickup or shipping.
