Flawless 28-mile drive from the pick-up point to Grass Valley!
Very pretty and an excellent perfomer!!

Looks like the wait was worth it. Very nice, I like the color. Where the heck do you keep all these cars?!?!

[Diesel Donna]

Beautiful car! When does TJ get his license?

 

[BroadwayBlue]

Nice!!

Good Luck!

 

[Midnight Special]

Thank you all ;-) DD, TJ gets his permit in August and license in Feb. 09. Steve, the Shelby hood is definitely different to look over... I miss the vent/ turn signals ;-) Renee, Yes - come up & drive it when you can! David, as of now the cars outnumber the barns here at the house, but I may opt for an airplane hangar next winter...

 

[Mustanger]

Congrats on your new baby :wink: ... you're definitely gonna have to expand your garage ... maybe use the airplane hangar like you said (lol) ...

Does that Shelby Hood mean there is something really interesting in the engine bay?!? Car looks great Tim- Congrats!

Thanks T! It's a 289 punched to 302 with alot of chrome and a big Edelbrock. A stock (painted) '68 hood was also shipped w/ the car. The engine is new and tight and great performer. There are alot of little mods that make it unique such as added gauges, chromed aprons, kitted C4 that gets "scratch" in second and (get this;-)... locking trunk pins! It won't make the "cocours" scene by any stretch, but can easily be returned to, if desired.

I was following it home yesterday in the Dodge while my friend Scott put it thru the paces. Lot's of power and no smoke of any kind! I was also watching alot of head turning on the highway... It's as loud as its beautiful appearance. All in all, I'm very happy with it!!! Owner Pete had it completely detailed before shipment...

Very nice Tim. Glad to see another one going to a good home. Hopefully I'll make it back out your way again in the near future. My son (Jason) is leaving California for of all places - Minniappolis, MN this June. Get's him closer to home. Again, a very nice looking car. Enjoy.

Isn't that one of the ten commandments?

"Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's car"??

Shame on you Neil. :sad:

Shame on you Neil. :sad:

...Yeah, but he confessed! Now he must pray over the rotissery ;-)

 

[franklinair]

I am weak.

[CALIF GIRL]

I think it is allowed when the neighbor has wayyyy more than his share.

 

[Midnight Special]

...Oh, but I always share CG. and am always honored to have thy Cali' coveted. Perhaps Neil's weakness could lend a whole new meaning to the "big house" and its resident Specials... Hmm...

Mustang Ranch of California??

 

[CALIF GIRL]

Yes Tim, you share very good. Your parents taught you right.
