I just realized that I've been passing a Ventura, similar to your new one, for a few years. If I remember, I'll try to stop and peak at it one of these days.

Man that is just too much money for that pile. Everything needs attention.
Sadly I remember many of this era cars just being given away to get rid of them when they died.

My buddy Ben just took his manual trans Coyote motor Mustang to Florida and ripped off an 8 second 1/4 mile. Car is still for sale somewhere in the high $3x,000 range.

I figure unless i find a sweet hook up on used parts or wheels itll be rollin around this time next year. This project is really just a practice of patience.

With all the extra stuff and just life in general I have done NADA to my car. I may have lost the spark.
