help with a contest

jason441 · 06-12-2008

I entered my mustang in a contest on a whim at a local radio station. I've never won anything of any real value let alone been selected for the running.
But low and behold I was selected to the "Not So Sweet Sixteen" of said contest.
Here's the deal, the station was looking for the most pathetic piece of machinery out there to do 10 grand worth of work to. Mine made it to the public voting pool!
Now I'm not so sure that's an honor but I'll take anything to get my car on the road again!
I've been dragging it with me for fifteen years(since I was seventeen) and doing what I could to put it back together. I was about to just start piecing it out due to financial restraints(and the constant badgering from my longsuffering wife

) But then this came along.
I would like to humbly ask for support from anyone willing to cast a vote in my favor. I really want to keep this car, it's been with me longer than any other possesion!
You can view the the contest at www.purerock965.com My car is listed as a 71 MACH 1 (it's blue and argent, and really a 73)
I appreciate the support and thanks for taking time to read this!
I'll keep you posted with results and the like if anyone is interested!

Where do you vote? I looked and looked.That hot tubs gone bad was gross.

Thank you guys for the support! I hate to just pop in and intro myself by asking a favor, but this contest has renewed my desire to get this pony back on the road!!
If nothing else I hope to make some new friends and swap info on this year of Mustang!
Its listed on the site as a 71 Mach 1 but its really a 73 Q code I've whittled at for the past fifteen years...
If you have any questions feel free to ask!
Jason

When you get to the site it is basically right in the middle.It says not so sweet sixteen.When you click on it the Mach is right in the middle as well.

Thanks for the support! The guy beating me with the suburban has already posted threads on his site asking for suggestions on how to spend the winnings!!!!
Talk about counting the eggs before they've hatched!
He obviously underestimates us Mustang enthusiasts!

I didn't catch this in time to prevent a double-post.

DO NOT do what I did by posting a link to this thread in other places within the AFM forums. After I did this I started reading the forum rules and Rule #4 says not to do this. I have been given an infraction of rules message and wanted to let everyone know not to do this in the future.
