When we meet at the show you are welcome to donate. Traditonally, $10-20 per member has wo…Wow, who would think a Ford Dealer was sitting on a 20 year old exhaust? I'm glad you found it! That must have been a great day.Yes, but, it's a good reminder that those chrome wheels almost didn't become a reality. It is my understanding that production problems with the chrome wheels almost killed them and it wasn't worked out until the last minute. This was almost the car…Awesome!

The double texture that was originally used was long ago discontinued. The color won't match exactly with the above linked back glass. The …It does look great.

It sounds like it might take some effort on the part of the paint supply person to get it right. Hopefully, you can find…Thanks, Joe! I hope you and your family are having a nice one, too. We had a great one but I have to say that it's now nice that everyone has gone and we have the house just to us again. Merry Christmas!Congratulations on the new purchase!
Yellowing on the interior parts is common. I've heard from a knowledgeable source that even as the cars were going down the assembly line, some of the interior parts such as the seat belt bezels were o…I absolutely agree about the possible complications for the regular buyer (and that includes myself).

That's a great looking pair of vehicles.I went back to look at that engine compartment and...the listing is gone.
