history and reference Norm's Old Coupe Is Back!

[Mike_B]

It looks like Norm's coupe made it back to the States. It in a northshore suburb of Chicago. I'll have to go check it out.

Is it truly an Alpina?

Norm and I were just reminiscing about that car just last week.

Interesting that it made it back to the U.S.......that thing has made the rounds

a bit since Norm sold it.

Drove down HWY 395 in that beast to So Cal Vintage - So happy that car is back in the states.  it is a Tribute - but is very fast.

That's pretty mad - seemed to be for sale over here from the moment it hit Europe until the moment it went back to the States. It was quite pricey and whilst I love the car it's the original cars in factory condition that command good money here.

 

In fact it's still listed as for sale by the Belgian dealer (and it's a 2.4 not a 2.5 as they say):

Actually it is a 2.5L since it has the Evo crank with 95mm pistons.

Norm told me it was a stock s14 block that hadn't been over bored to evo spec, which would make it a 2.4 ish with the evo crank.
