I never was into cars much. As i was younger my dad was a race car driver, first hobby stock style and later IMCA modified, so in my yonger days i had an overdose of race cars and race tracks and helping my dad with this and that
I remember everytime he started that imca modified it was so loud i could hardly handle listening to it, my first car was a 1978.5 thunderbird with a 7.3 liter motor, it was rusty and when you stepped it down it either killed or took off like a bat out of hell, it was such a huge boat i hated driving it and being seen in it, i just really hated driving period, well anyway my next car was a pontiac 6000 LE and i was getting into car stereos,huge stereos , i boguht a 96 ford escort hatch and put a loud system in it, 4500 watts rms on a 15 inch digital design subwoofer, i ended up bein state champion in 2006 for dbdrag bassrace.to costly of a hobby so i got out of it sold the system for around 900

next was a 92 nissan 240sx, i loved the car it was a 5 speed and fun as hell to drive I had ideas with turbos and body kits and rims, anyway that was shortlived i smashed up the front fender and information i had searched for on it was that turbos were very expensive and to make the car go fast it would cost alot, escort tranny blew out and i needed something else so next was a 92 olds bravada which i drove for a month broke the flexplate and had that fixed for 600 bucks, well a week later i was t boned on december 23rd of 2007, totalled my bravada it was his fault, i called michael hupy(accident lawyer) and he got me the money i deserved, so now it was time for a new ride
I first looked for an suv and then another mint 240sx or 300zx or early rx7,then i seen some mustangs on craigslist and thought man those are rippers i want one, so i started looking around for 1, it was ahrd to find one decent i posted some looking for ads on a mustang classfied site looking for 5 speed 5.0 no rust $4000-$5000 ( cant even remeber which site) cpl days later i got a message about a 5 speed 1984 svo mustang with a 1992 5.0 EFI motor in it
I was hooked i had to go see this car so me and my buddy drove 2 hours to go check it out it was a crappy day mid february in 2008 we got to the spot. i seen the car right away and me and my buddy agreed it was BADA$$, we checked it over and the owner took us for a ride which was very scary cuz it was crappy and wet out and he was a maniac going 90 in the suburbs, next i drove it and after thinking about it a while i decided to buy it, i paid 4500 for the car and we left quickly cuz a large snowstorm was on the way.
found out a cpl days later there was a problem with 2nd gear engagement so i had the trans rebuilt for 1600( the guy who sold it to me stiffed me a bit there!)
fast forward to today, currently the car is in the body shop getting a good repaint (2000$) heres some pics that the guy sent me in the message before i went to look at it, i will get more after the repaint
future plans include a loud stereo, rims and tires and eventually a 351
