So I figured you car people would like to see this,

This is a one of kind Eagle Talon that came into the shop today cause it was running bad. I know they made tons of eagle talons in 1990 but this one truly is one of a kind,

It was designed by Emerson Fittipaldi after he won the Indy 500 for Chrysler to make a limited run of 15000 production cars, but after they built it Chrysler decided not to take it to production so Emerson took it home to Flordia and there it sat till about 7 years ago when a guy bought it and gave it to his son to drive, who sadly not only wrecked this one of a kind car but took it to Circut City to have them install a new stereo and speakers. When they did they mounted a fuse holder under the hood on the firewall, right on top of the DSM build plate! But the good news is that the car is now in good hands and getting restored back to it's former glory.
And here is another shot of the fuse over the DSM plate on the firewall, I took these with my phone so they arent that great. :D

I disagree. I think that keeping it the way it is already makes it one heck of a car! Then again, I've never been one for tuners.

Awesome find, Oz! Good to see it's in good hands.

I'm all on for tuners ^^ that's why i said this, but i agree with you tho, that this is one heck of a car already.

yeah the only bad thing about this car, is it is basically a body kit on a stock talon, it does have a bigger turbo and better injectors, but other than that its the same 2.0 that came in Talons back in the 90's. Speaking of wheels, you cant see it in the pictures, but the wheels were made for this car, as not only does it say Fittipaldi on the center caps, but it is also molded into the wheel as well, if I remember I will get a picture of it tomorrow since it is still in the shop waiting for pickup now.
