2000 Ford Focus V8 Conversion

Great example of a “no expense spared” Focus V8 conversion for a fraction of the original investment. 

All top of the line parts (details to follow).  Car was built by Tee’s custom in Florida in 2003.  It was their 8^th conversion and a plaque from Tees is included.  Google “Focus V8 Tees”.  In the photos, Feb 2003, you can see my Dad (his project) top row third from right.  Plus you can see the car in other photos.

Excellent Show Car.  Little tuning should get you in the high 12’s if you want a drag racer.  Real Sleeper, until you hear it.  Attention getter wherever it goes.  I have invested $34000 ($5200 in original car and $22300 in parts, $6500 initial conversion labor).  I am moving on to another project, low reserve.

Original car had 90K light highway miles.  It was a 2000 purchased in the fall of 2002. The body and interior are all stock and in excellent condition.  All original paint no dings no scratches, not even a hint of rust anywhere.  A couple easy years on the road in Florida and has been in a garage year round since conversion.  Never raced, only local car shows.  Cloth interior, roll up windows, AM FM cassette,
