What other cars had you owned in the past?
FIRST CAR WAS AN 88HP 1980 4-CYLINDER MUSTANG. 2ND CAR I STILL OWN (89 MUSTANG GT VERT).
Do you do car shows (how many a year)? cruises? etc? how do you enjoy your ride?
I DO A HANDFUL OF SHOWS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, BALANCING FAMILY TIME, TIME AWAY WHILE AT WORK AND MY MUSTANG HOBBY. MY WIFE AND I HIT SHELBYFEST IN MO. EACH APRIL. WE ALSO DID MUSTANGFEST 2012 IN CORPUS. WHEN WE HEAD TO LOCAL SHOWS, SHE DRIVES THE TERMINATOR AND I TAKE THE SHELBY.
I HAVE 5 MUSTANGS CURRENTLY:
89 GT CONVERTIBLE: STOCK, RUNS GREAT, BUT NEEDS A REFRESH (114,000 MILES) BOUGHT IN '91
93 TEAL COBRA: STOCK (11,000 MILES) BOUGHT IN '14 ORIGINAL DOWN TO THE TIRES!
02 GT: STOCK (77,000 MILES) BOUGHT IN '06
04 MYSTICHROME TERMINATOR: CONVERTIBLE ALL ORIGINAL EXCEPT HOOD STRUTS/LIGHT BAR (13,000 MILES) BOUGHT IN '13
11 SHELBY GT500: HEAVILY MODIFIED TO INCLUDE FR750HP 2.9 WHIPPLE KIT BOUGHT IN '12 (22,000 MILES) CAR IS CRAZY FAST AND TOO DAMN MUCH FUN TO LEAVE IN THE GARAGE.
Family history - how you got into this hobby/car collecting?
FIRST CAR WAS A MUSTANG AND HAVE LOVED THEM EVER SINCE.
1993 car info
How did you find this 93 cobra and how did you get it home:
POSTED A THREAD ON THIS FORUM, BDECOY RESPONDED, BUT THEN WENT SILENT. SERIOUS INTERNET DETECTIVE WORK LED ME TO HIM AT WORK. WE WORKED OUT A DEAL AND I HAD IT SHIPPED TO TX FROM OH RECENTLY.
Other Current Mustangs and details:
89 GT WAS MY DAILY DRIVER FOR A LONG, LONG TIME. NOW IT ONLY GETS A COUPLE HUNDRED MILES PER YEAR. THE SHELBY IS MY DAILY DRIVER WHEN ITS NOT RAINING, BUT DOESN'T GO TO WORK/SIT AT THE AIRPORT. THE 02 GT IS MY "RAIN STANG" THAT GOES OUT IN THE SLOP AND SITS AT THE AIRPORT. IT HAS THE MACH 1000 STEREO WHICH IS THE MOST POWERFUL FACTORY STEREO I HAVE EVER HEARD! I PICKED UP THE TERMINATOR LAST FALL FROM A CRAIGLIST AD OUT OF OMAHA AND HAD IT SHIPPED TO TX. I BOUGHT THE SHELBY FROM A CRAIGLIST AD OUT OF CHICAGO IN JAN/2012 AND FLEW UP/DROVE IT HOME. DARN FUN DRIVE! THE 3 SVT CARS (WHICH I BOUGHT IN REVERSE ORDER) ARE MY SHOW VEHICLES. THE WIFE DRIVES A TAHOE TO HAUL KIDS/GROCERIES.
What would be your next car to add to the stable?
I NEED A BIGGER STABLE FIRST! THEN... WHO KNOWS. I'VE BEEN GOING WITH AN "SVT THEME" FOR AWHILE NOW.
Shout-out to members:
