85 Keeps calling me back!!

Well as some of you may remember I bought a 93 Mustang Coupe when I got back from deployment and was selling my 85. Well I have decided to keep the 85 and put the money into it instead of the Mustang. Good thing is that I can sell the mustang and turn a little profit on it. I was really stoked about the Mustang bc it would have been a very fun car with the 6.0l LS in it. My biggest mistake was pulling the truck out of the storage lot and driving it to work one day. I got more looks in it than I ever would with the fox body. So the 85 will live on and I should start on it after the holidays so stand by for updates!!

Them little mustang coups are fun. I had a 1990 with a 454 bbc in it but I would have kept my 86 swb gmc and stuck that 454 in it.

Re: 85 Keeps calling me back!!

Yeah it would have been fun but I can't get past how damn good these trucks look and how cheap they are to make look good. Maybe 1 day I will buy another coupe that I can trun into a race only car.

with all due respect, the fox body isnt near as versitile as a truck.. the truck can look good, make you money and be nice to cruise with a lady with
