I had an '80 with a 340 and an '81 with T-Tops, thought about getting another one some day. Just an FYI you may already know....if you want to put duals on that, just move the gas tank over to center it, there's enough fuel filler tube in there to do it. Good luck.

Can still find them occasionally - and for cheap. Most people around here mistake them for '79 Ford Thunderbird. I have had lots of fun with these and the Dusters.
I have a 1980 Mirada that I love cruising around in. It's a real Frankenstein: A-body headers, Brake booster from a K car station wagon, Ford 8.8 rear with sure grip and 3.73:1 gears out of 1998 Explorer, A518 nonlockup from 1991 one ton van, and 5.9 Magnum from 2000 Durango R/T. Love the efi. Hard to beat the factory tune. Hop in, hit the key, drop into gear and rip. It's everything the car should have been. Now that I'm an old dude, I also appreciate the AC. Would love to add a blower kit someday.
Also built one up for Father-in-Law: 383B, 727 & 8.75 rear. Had to weld in frame connectors on this one. Used B-body headers. Also put in a hydroboost power brake assist from an Astro.
