    Who cares if it has any pedals!

    When I found this car, it was a time capsule! It probably did have original air in the tires! This car made my jaw drop, and that's tough to do.

    That's the one that had the primer grey side scoop on the passenger side. They sure did a crappy job making it match! Enlarge that bottom picture and you will see what I mean.

    That aside, it sure was a find. When I first read this post I thought it was that other dark one in the shipping container or barn that had the original F-70s leaning up against the wall beside it.

    Do you know if they decided to restore it, or is it another car lost in the land of "someday"?

    So you're the SAAC Hemmings God that they were talking about in the description?
    And remember before you answer that, what they said in Ghostbusters. :D

    Yes



    "Yes" :rolleyes: (though I hate being acclaimed like that. I'm just a car guy like all of you.)


    KK - I never did find out, so I am guessing it's just sitting up there in South Dakota.

    You honestly do have the best job in the world, I should have went into journalism or something like that, I would have had a happier life, instead i went with computers, now all i get to do it sit online and dream while other people play. :hail2:

    Ooops, my bad.. jaggerd @ yahoo.com

    Andy, you're going into a career where you can play while others work, granted the whole carrying a pager and getting the call at unholy hours of the day sucks, but you'll get your chance to have a good time. :D

    Blue!!!

    thought you hibernated for the Winter....

    Nah, those who know me know a big ego is not my thing. Just many years of hard work and plain luck stepping into these on rare occasions.

    Dan - If you have time, I'd like a copy of that article.
    Might be working on the Cougar (in my ever-dwindling spare time); but I'd still like a Stang - especially a Shelby; from when he was good!

    EDIT: Fuzzy, you're blowin' the doors off me (pun intended) on your resto work :shrug: But the Rodeo will be done in four weeks, and the weather is onlygetting better - no hard-freezes in the last 2-3 days :D
