I am still pissed that I sold it to him, but at least he used it like it was meant to be used.

Not bad for a Mustang...
"Eh. Nothing special. Nice display of dedication though."
Wasn't that what Hitler said about those Auto Union cars that failed to win Le Mans?
Please don't turn into a hater and leave the site, we like controversial comments almost as much as well informed insight.
We should have Hugh Hefner do the shoot next time though.

Great write up, and a pretty sweet mustang aswell..
The color doesnt do it justice, but thats easily fixable.
I would have liked to see the interior though. Maybe i just missed those pics??
Great car/article though. nice job!!

Same thoughts here. Girls are nice, but when you are trying to show off a car, dont put them in the way of the motor. I'd like to see more pictures of the motor, roll cage, and the interior setup.
That paint is definately .... different.
