First thing I would do would be to replace the headlight lenses. Having bright, clear lenses makes a world of difference in the way the car looks compared to the old, yellowed ones. I had an '85 GT, which was the last of the 4-barrels. It was a load of fun. Enjoy the new ride!

A few bolt-ons will be all I do to it.

Is that why you sold your bike?

You'll be back.

No I sold my bike because I have been injured more in the last 11 months then I've been healthy. I'm sick of being in pain, limping, going to the hospital, going to the doctor, going to therapy and all the rest of the junk the is associated with getting injured. I bought the car so I would have something else to spend money on and occupy my time.

no more quad?

I understand the injured part though, it's never fun and it sure aint cheap.

I'm not a big ford guy but you can't beat the sound a 5.0 puts out. I wouldn't mind picking up an old fox body to toy around with some day.
pic doesnt work for me.

i almost had a 92 cobra (fox body), last year of the 5.0 but it slipped out of my talons. less than 30,000 miles too.
