Think the 8 have not seen it in a long time.
Another odd ball he has is a Capri with a 302. That thing flies!
TVR with the V8 was a wicked little sleeper. Never seen a Capri with an 8, the V6s were fast little *****.
Just came back from running around. Dam off road diesel is $4.01 now. Ouch!
Paid $3.60 for red yesterday. getting nuts
Not sure if he ordered it that way was his driver for years. He had a eye for oddballs. Has some other obscure english cars also.
English had some crazy fast stuff if you know what to look for. But its all for smaller people.
I remember a friend's dad had a Monza with a small block in it from new. Another sleeper.
Another one of that era sleeper were the Maverics.
LOL we made a gremlin with a 500 caddie motor in it. Levi edition of course!
I had a Triumph Stag for a summer. Alum V8 5 speed and a split rear. That thing was fun.
Hardtop and convert in one like a early Vette

Did a Gremlin X with a 401 4spd. I would have loved a Stag but very hard to find out here for some reason.
That was early 80's. Sold it for 2K I think. They are around good luck with parts now they were hard to find then.
That was back in the 80s to much of me to get in one now.
They were actually pretty roomy. My dad fit in he was 6'4" prob 220 or so.
6-3 300
way to much money to find a good one now.
I’m actually on the look out for the “right” 64 sport fury. There’s a local bank that will approve classic car loans. My wife has approved me up to 40k for a “new” vehicle but I don’t have to go “new”. But it’s not allowed to be a project vehicle of any kind. So has to be fully restored or in full functioning driver condition. So I’m being extremely picky
Well Mom isn't doing well at all. Say a prayer for her peaceful passing. It's her time.
I’m sorry to hear that mike. I know she’s up there in the 90s but it doesn’t make it any easier. Prayers my friend.
So we won’t risk adding to your nerves, ive removed my ***** post about gas prices.
95 Thanks She hasn't been the same since she fell and broke her pelvis around Christmas. Falling and breaking her collarbone a couple weeks ago will do her in. She has pneumonia and a DNR order by her own choosing. Nothing more can be done to make her well again.
Well then all you can do is be by her side if you can stand to, nothing wrong if you can’t, only my mom and I were able to stay in the room for the days with my grandma. Everyone else was too shook by it and that’s okay.
Prayers again my friend
Very sad to hear Mike... Best wishes to you and the family.
