I like your Ford. I had a 95 F-150, it was great. I hate the bed rail height of the new F-150. To increase the advertised cargo space they keep raising the bed rail. What, good is cargo space if, one can't reach the cargo? WTF?!?!?
This is my other ride and my first (very amateurish) restoration. Before and after shots ..... Very light and really fun to drive.
looks good! I came close to buying one like that. But, it was red. Now, had it been blue like yours, I would've been all over it! I like the way they drive.

Dang, you guys have some nice "other" rides.:TU: I like 'em all. Here's my 78 Z28 with a 4 speed. 35k actual miles so is still in good shape. Only had it a couple months and is fun to drive, but that's about all I can say about a Chevy! Will have my new 67 Special in a couple days, so I think the Z28 will be gathering cob webs. So will sell my "other" soon too if anyone is interested.
Well I dont have any other cool classic cars but this is my "normal" driver.

my 1983 ford capri it's only a 2.0 L4 But it handles like its on rails this is how it looked when i bought it :laugh: swapped the engine gearbox and axle from the black one into it and welded a few sp[ots and got it painted :beer sold the black one btw :dollar: Greetz Lennard
Capris have always been under-appreciated, the people who like them REALLY like them. they make great SCCA racers.:laugh:
Here's a picture of my 1979 Corvette on the day I bought it. Here it is home in my driveway. It came with a stock 350/4 bbl. and a Richmond 5 speed with 3:70 gears. It was geared great for the track but much too low for street driving. After replacing the 350 with a 383 stroker it ran in the mid 12's before I snapped the rear. I had the rear rebuilt with 3:25's and swapped out the Richmond for a Tremec TKO II with an .82 overdrive gear. The car is minimally slower now - low 13's - mainly because I am afraid to stomp on it and make another expensive mistake - like blowing the rear again. Currently the car is in my garage for a complete paint stripping. There was some sub-standard repair work done to the car over the years that was showing through the paint so the paint came off, the shoddy work was removed and repaired and the car is almost ready for primer and paint. I too have experienced a Jekyl/Hyde syndrome with this car. When I get behind the wheel I feel like a teenager again. I tend to drive it very aggressively at times - I love scaring the sh^t out of the crotch rockets when I am pacing them at 13X MPH but I must admit that it scares the sh^t out of me too. There is still more gas pedal to push on at that speed but I just can't do it. Excessive speed in a lightweight fiberglass bodied car on public highways doesn't make for a long life - or a clean driving record - so I try to keep the nonsense to a minimum. It makes a lot more sense to take the car to the track and get my jollies there but sometimes those crotch rockets need a good spanking!
