I recently purchased a redfire 2007 GT/CS with a Rousch supercharger and a few other modifications. :grin: I purchased it from a member of this forum. Kevin was a great guy to deal with. He's a true car guy. His place in Visalia is full of treasures.

Well, I picked it up and drove it the ~240 miles home last night. What a blast. :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: There was a Shelby GT in Bakersfield and a BMW M3 in Anaheim that found out just how special this California Special is.

Even though she's fast, she doesn't have the punch the 68 had. But hopefully the 68 will be back in all her glory.

Now you know you're not supposed to drive the family cars without my permission. I guess I'm just going to have to come down and take it away from you. :grin: :grin:

That is really neat Joe! Congratulations!!

Just tell Dad that you'll run to the store for him, or go pick up his meds & stuff like that... He won't take the car from you. Heck, he's gotta be thrilled that you're only six hours away now! ;-)

Thanks everyone. I love this car!!!

I've been putting up Christmas lights all day today. The reason it has taken all day is because I kept getting interrupted by neighbors wanting to check out and talk about my car. I also had to give my kids rides, my wife a ride, and several of the neighbor kids.

Okay... How far down your street do we have to walk to get in line??

Joe, I really like the position of the lights in the grille! "Haven't seen that on newer Stangs. Did Kevin do that? I think it looks very cool :)

I think that is the CDC grille with the "shelby" center mount foglights. I almost did that to my CS when I had it. Isn't it a great car?!

I'm going to let him keep it for now, but I may have to bring it to you for a "Safety Inspection" just to make sure it's safe enough for him to drive. :wink:

Very nice looking ride, and the fact you are taking friends for rides makes those of us from northern climes very envious.
