You are running American Racing Outlaw II's ? Thats what i was running back then....i have the original TRX wheels back on the car now. They need to be refinished and restored, no curb rash though, thank goodness.  By the way, you have a awesome ride for 19 or any age, and great taste in cars beyond your years! :-)

Nice Ride !! :burnout:


Thanks!  I really wanted a stand out car, and the Mustangs are so common.....(i love all Fords) i just wanted a conversation starter, so i suppose thats why i love the Fox Birds as well as Torino's.  Something different at the car shows......

Dat's real purdy... I like it a lot...

After they are 20-25 years old or so, mostly original cars should remain stock... One day, a lot of guys will be "wishin" they had some of the stock items they tossed...

I think you are right... car is only original once.  Considering there seems to be so few survivor cars in the North East (rust belt) i cant bear to mod my car.  I think the value and relevance of these cars is understated and that will change to in the near future.
