Anyone know who's car I bought?

I just bought a 91 FC T2. It is blue, original color, with major front end damage.

I know some history of that vehicle. I also know that hood is mine from my stolen 10th AE, I've seen it in person before. I just haven't tracked down where the owner( before the guy you bought it from ) had gotten that hood. Still looking.

It has a s4 t2 block fyi.

Rotarydave also knows something about that car also, he was the one that did the swap on that car years ago.

I bought it off a tow truck. Guy picked it up at auction. I have lein sale paperwork with a history of all owners and addresses, if your interested.
I would offer you the hood back, but you can see the damage.
I just bought it cheap to part out quick. I needed a few parts off of it and then I'm recycling the body.
Need anything?

Thanks for the info

The car is a 91.engine,transmission,and all the wiring to the car came of a 87 turbo II.so its basicly a s5 body with engine,trans and electrical from a s4.I know two guys that have owned the car,first one I did the swap for about 4 years back and second guy I know cause he bought the car from the first guy and he lived in my area.I don't conversate much with the second guy cause of some personal beef between my brother and him but that's a whole different issue.last I heard the guy traded the car for an acura and dont know what happened after that.I tried to get info as to where he had bought the hood but since I don't talk to him I have to go through friends so they can ask for me.

The car was purchased from a guy in mt Washington and at the time the original engine was blown.so first guy basically bought it for the shell since he had purchased s wrecked 87 turbo II for engine and drivetrain.

To the op if you need any info of the swap or if you have questions just pm me.

I would like the center caps to go with the wheels. Unless the person who buys the wheels doesn't need them
The tires have 75%+ tread life.

Best offer on these before Im post in the for sale section....

Side mirrors are on my other 7 already!!!
