1988 Mustang Gt Grabber Blue Hello from NW Arkansas

Hello ladies and gentlemen. I hail from Northwest Arkansas and have been a Mustang fan my whole life. I've owned 3 Foxbody's (my current one is an 88 GT) and a single modern 2012. Any how I just wanted to say howdy and see how everyone was doing and I look forward to learning a ton from everyone's experience.

This is my 88 GT.

Thanks for sharing an image of your "88" Fox body GT, she looks absolutely stunning... Perhaps you could also post an image of your 2012 as well... Meanwhile, welcome aboard

Here is a picture of the 2012. Sadly I don't have it anymore but I'd give anything to have it back. I really messed up when I let her go.

Welcome aboard! During our Fox body days, we test-drove a late-80's GT. There's still nothing quite like old-school pushrod low-end torque!

This was my 2012. My wife had a white one as well at the same time. This is the one that got away. I'd give anything to have her back. That Yellow Blaze Tri-Coat Metallic is my favorite color of all time on a vehicle. I loved how it changed color depending on the lighting.

^^^^ SWEET!!! That's too bad you don't have it anymore. I can't recall seeing many in that color, kind of like the Gotta Have It Green that seems to change colors too in different lighting.
Thanks for the photos.

I was under the impression from your initial post that your 2012 was included along with the "88" Fox as current... Perhaps, I misinterpreted... Anyhow, sorry that you had to let her go, as I'm sure there was a very good reason at the time... Meanwhile, thanks for sharing the images... I also agree about Yellow Blaze-Tri coat metallic as being a very unique and stunning color

Very nice thanks for posting the pictures. Nice cars. So you still have the white '12? The '88 GT looks to be in very nice condition. Thanks for posting!

m05fastbackGT - I guess I didn't write it correctly. I was meaning that it was a prior ownership. Sorry for the confusion.
shaneyusa - I do not have the '12 any longer. The '88 is in really good condition and doesn't need too much work. I'm just going to do a few small things here and there. I put an album up on my profile with more pictures.

It's a very manly car. I'm sure he can get over mountains and rivers. Good luck.
