Turbo LS-Swapped 1981 Mercury Zephyr Wagon
This 1981 Mercury Zephyr wagon, owned by Michael Schulz, features a turbo LS swap with a cammed 5.3-liter engine. Originally a family cruiser, it packs a punch with a 78/75 turbo and has experienced drag racing with its previous 6.0-liter engine. The build includes coilovers, Strange 10-way rear suspension, and a Fox-body 8.8-inch rear end. Interior touches include Corbeau seats and a custom dash, with all vital stats managed by a Holley Terminator X Max system. The wagon retains a striking woodgrain aesthetic, earning its nickname 'Bacon Strip.'
