Time to get another one.

Hey everybody,

Don't know if you all remember me or not. Used to have an 87LX5.0 that was my baby I had to sell a few years ago. Times have been insane since then (I just thought it was hard coming up with cash to fix it up when I had it) but since loosing my newer car I had bought ('07 GT) I'm getting back in the marketplace for something again over the next couple months with business picking back up.

I'm really looking for a black on black TC possibly already HO converted, or an SO 5.0 waiting to be beefed up. Should have between 5-10k to put into it, and I wanna do it right this time. Good to see you guys again.

Matt

I remember ya! I think we got S197s around the same time. I had to let mine go because of financial difficulties. Still looking for a fox myself. Good luck and welcome back.

Glad to see I haven't been forgotten. :) That black on raven TC sounds perfect. I was actually thinking black on raven might be hard to find, but my old interior was raven and it would feel just like home. Count me in as insanely interested.

I remember you...glad to see you are back in the fox body game.  Seems a lot of our members are or were S197 owners, myself included.

I remember you. I keep finding myself wanting to pick up a clean 87-88 tbird. I'd be happy throwing a H.O. in there and just driving it. I may be buying an aluminator LB for the mustang so the engine thats in there would technically be looking for a new home.

Feels good to be back. I miss the hell outta my old 87. I sold it shortly after I got the S197 to try to pay off a credit card that I ended up having to drop the ball on anyways as with all my loans, credit cards, even had to move my family in with friends for a while shortly after we got our new place when my daughter was born in 08. Its been rough and ultimately culminated in losing my stang as the final nail in the coffin to get us back stable again, which I'm not gonna lie I miss because I love that body style. Being back here feels like coming full circle though. Business is picking back up so I want to really do something insane with my next bird to make it up to myself :D Good to see you all again and I swear nobody let me sell my next one!
