(812 posts)to help him get over the buyer's remorse.
I had helped him recover a 67 Mustang GT from a pasture with a tree growing between the fenders about 20 years back.
He was pretty ate up with Steve McQueen and Bullit,but he painted his Saturn Gold with the twin black rally stripes.
After several drivetrain swaps he ended up with a late model 5.0 from the last of those Mustangs but totally gone through with parts from the FOMOCO performance catalog,gear drive everything and a Tremec T-5600 5-speed.
By the time it was done the noise inside was like the original Dearborn Assembly line,you literally had to shout over the gear drives and the diffy gears(Nascar Cut) and the pumps and the carburetor noise.
He ended up selling it on e-bay to a guy from New York City,he flew down,handed the check over and drove it back.
What a trip that must have been with all the racket and the ride on low profile rally tires,subframes with poly-urethane bushings,tubular control arms and gas charged coil-over shocks.
I know my Bro lost money on the deal but he went down and bought his first brand new Vette off the showroom floor,which he traded for a Z-06 when they came out in 2002.
The first love though is always special and that Equus looks like love at first sight.
