In '74 I bought a '67 Shelby GT-500, dual quad 428 and a C-6 automatic with 12,000 miles on it for
$1,600. It didn't take much to burn the tires off of it. This was my hobby car. Couldn't wait for the
summer car shows and cruisin'. The car is featured on the Automobile Quarterly "Striped
Lightning" poster and in Volume 16, Issue 8 of their publication. What a neat car. Turned heads
everywhere I took it. I sold the car in '88 for $13,000! Damn!

| Between the '63 and '85 I had a couple of family cars. A '67 Rambler station wagon, what a piece of crap, and a '76 Maverick which turned into a rust bucket piece of crap real fast. I know, it's a Ford. Definitely not one of their better ideas. I now have a '03 Acura CL Type S. Bought it new and now has a whopping 16,000 miles on it. Nice car, lots of power. Closest thing I could find to the '88 Turbo Coupe but it doesn't ride as nice or handle as good as the T-Bird.........and I miss looking down that long hood. |

Some of my automobile modeling. You'll probably notice most of it is
Fords. That's because I've been a Ford enthusiast ever since I was old
enough to drive.

In '85 I bought a new Thunderbird
Turbo Coupe and in '88 I traded it in
and bought another Turbo Coupe.
Both great cars. I kept the '88 for 15
years. Sold it in '03 for $2,700 with
114,000 miles on it. You could drive
that car for 12 hours and never
knew you did. I still miss it.
That's what makes me a FORD man.
