Found some old pics on my HD while doing a little cleaning, enjoy:
drove down with my boy Mikey (RIP) from Chico for a show/cruise back in the day. Still had the R's on:
heading out for the cruise, got lost from about half the cruisers, had a blast corner carving with another member from here (forgot their name lol)
the one with the GT in front of me....
stopped by my parents house after the cruise and took our Model T out for a spin(sorry for the pic quality, it was a disposable lol)
out with Mikey RIP and some broads that worked at the restaurant. We used to roll in there all the time, they were pretty chill (and this was before paint, hence why the broad is sitting on the hood!)
parked outside the coffee shop in Mountain View I managed. Got to look at it the whole time I was working!
in my parents driveway shortly before it was stolen.
thanks for looking!

I'm not sure what it is about that car.......
I have never been a big fan of verts and I don't think I really ever met you. But shortly after I joined this site I remember the thread about ur car getting stolen and even I was sad about it. I think it was the first stang I had ever seen stripped. Those pics stick with me till this day
Did you ever get another? Or do you plan too?

No prob. I'm usually not even a fan of fox verts, but something about your old 1 just looks great. Maybe it was the combo of the cage, wheels, & stance? What color was that car again, & what all was done to it mod wise?
I would've loved to take pics of it, that color would POP in the right light...

thanks man. i still get teary eyed!
i haven't built another one because i inherited my grandmothers 67 289 coupe with 70k on it in excellent condition so i turned my attention to her car. i still think she had something to do with it from up in heaven.
EPIK:
thanks man, i hear that alot! it had a 306 with ported iron gt40 heads, some cam, gt40 intake, no smog pump or cats, full Mac exhaust(still the best sounding exhaust i've ever heard on a fox) equal length headers off road h pipe and dumps. eibach springs, rolled fenders, 3.73 gears. prolly other shit, it was a long time ago!

yeah epik, it loved the light! it was a Lexus color called Cinnabar Pearl. in one of the pics you can see my moms gs300 (that i bought from her) in the color, thats what got me hooked. it had an orange pearl like whoah!

I think you should remake your old car. Find a clean lx vert and do that same color. You could build an even better version then the original.

i am seriously considering it. although i miss my old notchback too. but this time i'm thinking fr500s or some CCWs with a turbo setup, or a terminator drivetrain.
trust me man, not a day goes by that i don't dream of whats next. although i already have the 67, so i need more parking spots lol.
93redcobra:
yessur thats the dublin spot. i think those pics are from two different meets. i def. had a lot of fun there.

Thanks for sharing those pictures of your car. I myself had my car stolen but luckily i got it back like you did. Did you sell it when it was found? I remember following your car since you had it painted. Hopefully youll get another one day. ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

thanks man, that means a lot to me to hear the impact she had on this board! you got any pics? and i hope i can too, sadly this job market is garbage and since i'm relocating back to the bay area, it might take some time!
92gt50-
i'm glad you got your baby back, i never want anybody to go through the hell i went through! and i told a friend on another board if he could pay the tow yard fee he could have her. i don't really know what happened after that, there was some talk of donating parts and rebuilding it for me (!) but i think it was used as a parts car or something. ![[Frown]](frown.gif)
EPIK-
your comment about the paint in the sun got me thinking about more pics.....so here ya go!!
at a carshow put on by the sacramento mustang club (fan/member judged and complete bullshit since i lost out to three stock dingy 50s that were club members rides )
and a short video(man i wish i had made more of these )
