Just dropping in....

Don't mind me I was just lookin to see if I could help anyone. Anyways if anyone did miss me I have been working on the 4th gen. Its a very sweet car and I must say it will go! But I think it might take some time to give ol Kyle a scare now hehe. But it will be in the 10s hopefully. I plan on building it up to a LT4 and then procharging it. That should be enough for mid to low 10s. Oh, it sucked, the other day I got my CD player jacked out of my car in the school parking lot! But its kool because the place I bought it from wrote me a check out for $348 when it really only cost $210 because I wanted a Sony Explode. So today I got it installed and damn it is bad. Tomorrow is payday so a bass tube and amp is looking good. Billy, you keeping things in order around here? Hehe, I bet its alot easier without me around to start things . But oh well. Oh Joel, Lauren wanted me to tell you that she is sorry for jumping up your *** that night. But you know her, she can be mean if she wants. I just forgot to tell you the other day. Anyways the real reason I posted this is because my g/f's friend bought my car and he wrecked it . Its not bad though but he did manage to break the ground effects pretty much completely off. So do you guys know of a good place he should look for some new ones? Thanks guys! Miss ya!

GET THE 30th.
Worth MORE in the long run.
Don't worry about any other detail.
Just get the 30th!
Special issued commerative models always bring more $$$$ later on. It's an instant collector.
From one the has two.
The first RS/SS 350 Convertible 4 -speed & a 68 6/Console & auto.
The 68 goes to my almost 7 month old.
Yes, I keep the 67. No one touches that.
I just started porting the heads for the 67 this weekend. Lot of excitment & fun, after reading how to do that for about 18 years. I hope the bits holds out for the other head!
Next, gotta get a stone to polish the heads.
MONKIE MISSED YA

well i dont mean like the white ss with orange heratige stripes ect. ill prolly be looking at a black V6 5 spd convertable that has 30th aniv. on the seats. it will be the 30th aniv. year and it will have the new seats and other stuff they added, but it wont be the "special addition" since they were all V8s if im not mistaken.

vortecfcar so you want to see my 4th gen? Shame I have to prove I own one. Anyways, I don't have a digital camera and the only way I got the other pictures of my 3rd was because my friend has a digital camera but he lives in Virginia so I see him about once every 2 years. I would buy one but I gotta save up and get my system in. But by the looks of your sig I doubt that I could kick your cars *** . BTW it looks very nice. Only thing I would do is invest in a SS hood. But thats just me.

FORD Rustangs -R- Us personally I would buy the 92 RS. But thats just because I owned one. And right before I sold my 3rd gen I raced a 4th gen firebird on highway 25 up here and he couldn't keep up with me. But Im sure it wasn't a 3.8L. If I were you I would buy the 92 RS and then later on drop in a TCed 3.8L . But thats another story. But about the 30th anniv. Thats what I own and it is very damn fast. I know I have to be in the low 14s or high 13s. Hope I helped ya choose which car you wanted. But if you like 4th gens look at this and I'm sure you will come to the good side haha. j/k guys, but take a look at this. Im going to have mine look something like this. But Im taking my emblems off.

Id also say go with the fourth gen. I would've done it if I had the money when I was getting the car. That orange one looks cool as hell. I believe you have a Z28 monkie, I dont need proof.....just wanted to see it is all and I assumed you had the camera. Ford Rustangs, if you absolutely must get a V6 car, why dont you see if you can talk the folks into a TTA.

that is one very sweet car... does anyone know who makes those wheels and how much they are? are they GM, or aftermarket? i've seen them before on some other cars, and they look really nice.

------------------
  • 83 Z28--ttops, 200k miles--very ragged out. sold, thank goodness
  • 74 Z28--slightly modded 383, TH400 tranny, not too quick but fun to drive
