1990 7-up NADA Value
I was looking at ebay auctions and saw a 1990 7-up listed and the description included a link to NADA pricing. So I followed the link and it was NADA pricing specific for the 7-up convertible. Hmmm. This was the first I had seen any pricing site/guide break out...
Unfinished business (VIN and VCL decoders)
Now that my period of intensive marathon training is over I have some time to return to other goals. One goal from earlier this year was to make a mobile-friendly version of my Vehicle Certification Label (door tag) decoder. The argument for such an application was that if you...
1993 Feature Car Magazine Article Update
So as not to neglect the 1993 Feature Cars, I have just completed an update to the 1993 Feature Car Magazine page. Anton (cougster) was kind enough to provide some scans of some Mustang Times articles for which I did not have any or had very poor ones. Actually,...

Personalized license plates
Some time ago, a discussion on personalized plates didn’t quite get off the ground in the forums. Personally, I wanted a personalized plate immediately after I got my feature car. Although, I was a little hesitant to get something too specific to my car. As unlikely as it seems...
On wrecked Triple Whites here and abroad
I received a registration for a 1993 triple white Mustang earlier this month from an email address in the Netherlands. It listed values for State as “other” as well as Country of “other.” I thought it was odd but I have received forms filled out like this in the...
N.Y. Times: No Mortgage Needed for These Beauties
A coworker pointed me to a recent New York Times article on low-cost collectible cars. In the article and related slide show two Mustangs are included: SVOs and Mustangs from the 1990’s. It’s right up our alley as our cars also fit nicely into this niche. N.Y. Times: No...
