Found one of my old cars...

Wish I still had it. http://www.cars-on-line.com/61021.html
I owned it from 9-86 to 11-87. It had 28k + miles on it when I sold it. It still hurts.

Joel look at the bright side if you still owned yhe gtx you would not be doing all the camping...

You may have a point there dix....Hind-sight is crystal clear and my eye doctor tells me there are no glasses for fore-sight.. I sold that GTX for $2800.

I sold my first car a 1970 mustang about 15 years ago...I had it for 25 years and found it by accident about 20 miles from my house sitting in a guys front yard, he wouldnt sell it but it is still sitting there today

magic bus thats messed up

One word, "Torture!"

Dont wanna hijack the thread but its a pretty good story, My wife and I were out on my motorcycle one day joyriding and I was like hey I think thats my old mustang,

The guy was out in the front yard playing with his kids, I pulled in and got off my bike, said hello and told him "I think that might be my old car" He stepped back kind of defensively and said " oh yeah what makes you think that?" I said well does it have crushed velvet inserts in the seats? He said yes, I said does it have fog lights mounted behind the grill? He said yes. I said does it have a 1978 bailey technical school parking sticker in passenger side of the windshield? His shoulders kind of shrunk, lowered his head and said yeah.

I didn't know it at the time but I think he must have thought it was stolen and I was about to take it away from him..

But after I told him I was just happy to see it and looked it over he seemed quite relieved and friendly..

It was great to look it over again, oh how the memories flooded back, I mean this was my first car and I dated my then girlfriend/now bride in it, had a million helluva good teenage times in it.

I asked him to sell it, he refused..told him where I lived, that was about 4 years ago now he's parked it and its just sitting there...oh well

Thats a cool story Magic Bus. Pics?
From the day I sold that GTX I've had a lot of knee problems.
Try kicking yourself in the ass every day for twenty six years... It's tough on the knees..

dix - times are tough ? get back & ask again-never know??

Great looking 'Stang...I really like the color. How long did you have the car?

That first shot there is nobody in the car, its a reflection. I had that car, my first car from 1976 until 2001.
