Sure is.....just put the short throw shifter in it....fun to drive after the gear swap! Had 2.73's when I bought it so the 3.73 made it a ton of fun!

No, I like the headlight covers!! I think it looks hot! The vinyl top looks to be in excellent shape. You did good, the wheels look good too.

Sweet Car, i think u need to chuck the covers and get a set of clear headlights.
Just noticed it still has the distributor boot on it, thats awesome and rare because most people just throw them out.

Add cover on the rear lights too. Then it will look really good.

I haven't decided if I like the covers yet. they definitly don't look bad, I just haven't decided if it's better than clear covers.

BTW did you get a new camera?

Your four-eyed Foxes were from 79-86

Hey John, I should be back in the Fox family this Tues. Looks like the '93 'vert will be a reality. 111K miles, auto, 3.73's, C&L and a couple of other goodies. Haven't seen the car since last April at the 40th Anniversary Show. Deb got to ride in it with the then owner's wife, said she liked the car. Will post pics as soon as possible.

Sure did....the other video cam I have just wasn't doing the trick so I went up to Circuit City and bought a Sony Cybershot 7.2 Megapixel cam....Takes amazing pics and it was fairly inexpensive for the quality......sure makes ya wanna re-take all your pics to improve them!

i sort of like those covers, they make the car look real stealthy and sleek. Beautiful car, only wish it was mine.

Hey there, great looking cars you've got. Wish I could afford them, or any two. I was curious about the original ten hole wheels you said came with the car because i have them on mine but they are 15 plues years old and an unknown number of miles traveled so i was curious as to whether you would want to sell or not and if you had a price in mind.

i agree with Zoran, get some black tailioght covers and it will be a sweet lil car (not that it isnt already... that would just make it better)
