.....what in the world has happened to the love of muscle cars ???? did the fast and furious do this ?????  My wife saw it too and said ..."ice ice baby "  (for those of you over 30...me included)...LOL.


Me being 19 it sickens me. Im a nastalgic muscle car guy. True gearhead. I understand the Ice Ice Baby comment. "jumped in the 5.0 with the ragtop down so my hair can blow" those Stupid FNF movies ruined what we had. Its all appearance now.

Im diggin the TC, definetly what i woulda traded for haha.

I love how you say "the teenagers". Im only 22 years old. Around here, they dont get riced up. And yes, i know what Ice Ice Baby is all about, just like Rollin in my 5.0.

Make any money on the 'Stang?

Nope. Did a direct trade. The Stang wasnt nearly as nice as pictures made it look. My photography hides a lot. Most people didnt know that my gray TC had hardly any clearcoat on the top half. Anyways, we did a direct swap, swapped parts that we had for each car, swapped titles, and here it is. This one has 87K, the stang had 170K...I think I made out better.

Itll be a while before its worth racing, itll probably remain mostly stock for a year or two.

The plan for this car is to fix it, make it nice, and drive it. Ill do a full exhaust, cold air, and a handful of small mods to it, but I need to put most of my funds into my red bird, since its up on stands, doesnt run, doesnt move, has no suspension under it, nothing.

After the red bird is up, this car will get nasty, but thats in the future :evilgrin:
It's Gumby's fault.

Theres two there. The previous owner of the previous owner put some ugly ass tips on it, and we cut them off. Its all rotten anyways.

No big deal, there will be a single pipe sometime soon ;)
