Well after a long hiatus since I sold my Parnelli Jones I am officially back in the club. Been itching for years to own another car and after another father and I were talking cars while escorting our boys on a DC trip I've been on the hard search ever since, but looking for something that I could toy with a bit and make my own.
So I'm really happy that I found this car and the transfer of ownership from the buyer. Both us being Ford guys was pretty nice. Basically he and his daughter both own Fox Saleens. This one was originally his daughters but he traded his daughter his wife's black convertible so they were letting this one go. It originally came out of Florida and unbeknownst to them when they recently transferred ownership to the seller from his daughter it was tagged as rebuilt in 1993 from previous owner in Florida. So the gentleman was more than fair in adjusting the price to close the deal. How well do these cars hold their value having the dreaded Rebuild/Salvage on their title?
For me it is even more the perfect fit since my plan is to install the newly re-released KB (Kenne Bell) Blowzilla and wanted it as a full driver anyways to really enjoy. I had sold the Parnelli due to the fact it wasn't much fun owning a car that just sat most of the time because I didn't want to put miles on it or drive it like it was made to so that I did not hurt the value. Only part that I was told was not factory was the hood as it is Fiberglass.
So plans are Wheels, Tires, KB Charger & Engine Build. I probably work on figuring out wheel and tire combo and drive it for while before diving in but gotta do the charger pretty soon as they will only be reproducing them for a limited time.
