I have always wanted a four eye coupe(never owned a coupe) I have looked for a very long time and never found one worth what the crazy assed owner wanted for one. I finally found a RUST FREE coupe. It is still wearing whats left of the factory silver paint and has never been wrecked or repaired (NO BONDO). With no rust and very little body work the body should go quick. I was hoping that you guys(and girls....Frankie) could hook me up with some picks for inspiration. Interior will be redone too so the out side color could be changed(Or 2 toned). Help me out guys and post um up for me. Here she is in all her ugly glory... 351 automatic.

'85 or '86? Take a gooood loooong look at the under side lip of the doors...they're really bad for rusting out and the correct doors are a PITFA to find. As for inspiration, there's plenty but i don't have any on this PC. Look in the "before you butcher a 4 eye" thread for tons of awesome 4 eyes, some you may just have to imagine as coupes...lol.

It is a carbed 351 86. I am staying carbed and building the car with all spare parts( I have a bunch of parts). Engine and trans are both coming out. Doors and trunk lid are both perfect. Only thing being bought is chassis stiffening. I may build my own street cage for it as well.

I want to measure mine. It doesn't look that tall.

I like punisher racing's coupe.

four eye with bullits. I normally dont like those wheels on a 4 eye, but he pulled it off.

I know the guy that built this one. If you have any questions about it I can probably find out anything about it.

Ohhh I envy you! If I had a place for it, I'd probably have a 4-eye coupe along side my T-Top car, but for the time being (and apartment living) its not realistic.

Can't wait to see what you do with it!

If i ever end up hitting an animal or something and jacking up my Pacecar nose, i'm putting the '85 nose back on and adding a Saleen valance to it. I love the open grill on those noses.

Heres the 86 I picked up several months ago for my son. We have gotten most the interior out, and Ive pulled 1 of the 2 dings out. Solid as a rock. Doors shut like its new, and never wrecked. It should be real nice when were done with it. Good luck with yours.

As of now I have a Anderson cammed 302 with wedge heads a stealth intake running to a t-5. For wheels I have 17x8 and 17x9.5 Boyd smoothies. I have 13" cobra disks front and rear, a set of Eibach springs. Tubed control arms, a full prothane kit with mounts. I have mac long tubes and a pro chamber,and flow masters( I refuse to run this muffler on this car). After much thought I think it may get some custom rear suspension work and mini tubs(depends on if I like the Boyd's on it or not). I plan to bolt on what I have and go from there. Body may go white( undecided) Interior will be black or grey and most likely will not have a rear seat. I do plan to build my own street cage for the car. Eventually the 351 will be stroked to 393 and stuffed back in it. These are the ones I am diggin so far:

I freakin love 4-eyed coupes! They are the most bad ass fox body ever. I would trade my 4-eye GT for one in a hearbeat.
