What's up guys. I don't know if any of you have ever seen this movie but it's a cool movie back from the 80's about this ghost car. For those of you have seen it you might find it kind of cool to know that the car is being restored by someone in Kansas. I found the specs of the car in a forum and the car had a 2.2 liter engine with two T25 turbos which put out 400hp and 300 lbs of torque. The paint job on the car alone cost $30,000. And you have to remember this was back in the 80's so that was a whole lot of money for a paint job back then. Here are the links.
I just bought that DVD a week ago out of the $5 bin..lol Me and my bro used to watch it all the time back in the day. Stupid 80's movie but a few decent cars...
I edited to the wiki!

Wow, that is incredible! I've had that movie for a few years now on Dvd and we watched it a few times.
If you read the history on that car, it was to be an actual production model super sports car back in the day. The movie was to headline it and stun the world. However, it was too expensive to build and Dodge/Chrysler scrapped the entire project off the line in Detroit.
If that car would have gone into production it would have been way ahead of it's time. I thought it was funny that the car in the movie with the supercharger sticking out through the hood actually had a non-functioning supercharger. I guess that's like these guys today who install intercoolers on cars with no turbo's.

I forgot you were from Arizona. Have you driven on the same highways where the movie was filmed? They seemed wavy as hell in the movie. I wouldn't wanna race on those highways. One of the stunt drivers got killed on one of those roads while filming the movie.
