Jamie's Police Interceptor Gets a Color Change

By Rob Einaudi

Editor-in-Chief

Jamie picked up this 2003 Police Interceptor last year. He quickly added a GO RHINO push bar, clear fog lights, remote start/keyless entry, and a Pioneer CD player. It looked pretty good in the original white paint, but he got tired of it and decided to paint it Hugger Orange. Why?

It was kinda nice having people drive cautiously and safely around me, but if there was no room to pass it gets pretty frustrating having everyone drive exactly on the speed limit in front of you.

Be sure to check out page 4 of his ride page, which shows the Crown Vic with its new five spoke wheels, parked alongside Jamie’s late model Mustang and ’67 Fairlane.

IMSA Prototype "Fiero SS"

By Jen

Paul’s page caught my eye in Recently Updated because he had it listed as a 2003 Fiero. 2003? Well, it turns out his unique Fiero is one of the most incredible projects I’ve seen on CarDomain. This feather-light 645hp monster is built from a one-off Pontiac racing prototype shell that somehow managed to escape destruction. Paul scored the tube chassis and body on eBay for 40 bucks. Neither he nor the seller realized what they were dealing with: a prototype built for wind-tunnel testing of the Huffaker IMSA Fiero, of which only 15 were ever built. Starting with these pieces, Paul has built this little monster from the ground up, fitting it with a Porsche drivetrain and a 412 cubic-inch engine built by salt flats racer Paul VanDerley. The Fiero now runs 10′s in the quarter-mile and go from 0-60 in just over 5 seconds. Check out Paul’s encyclopedic ride page documenting this one-of-a-kind build!
