Great observations conv_stang

To the younger crowd, this just shows you... research before you buy. I even ran the VIN on my 35th before I bought it even though everything was as it was supposed to be, you never know! Turned out fine and I bought it.

People are sneaky and deceitful and will do anything to make a buck, especially for first time buyers.

It is sad but a lot of people don't have the morals that you or I do. They may seem really nice and honest, but they could be pulling a fast one. Thats why its so important to research the car. Also to give them the benefit of the doubt, the seller may not be educated in automobiles and may honestly think it is something its not.

Hey Paul, i remember awhile back you posted a wide body svo. I was wondering if you could post those pictures again. I loved that car (looks wise) and how is the 89 police car coming?

That's the Evolution SVO....see pic attached.

I was tied up on an '01 Cobra Convertible repair for the past month so the Police car is just now again getting some attention. I have it tagged and driving it...just doing little things to it right now like fixing the A/C and other minor things.

The paint scheme was designed to get attention and "pop" for the camera...grey would not have achieved that. The paint scheme is based after the old Motorcraft Trans Am Mustang....
