Very cool!
A good friend of mine did the exact same thing with his '68 coupe he had in high school. Sold it and then found it again after 12 or 13 years. Now it's back in his garage and looking better than ever.Comment

So you're not going to let this new/old toy slow down the coupe build, right?Comment

That’s awesome. I’ve had mine since I was 17. Luckily it’s been in my possession every since then but if I were in your shoes I cant imagine how happy I’d be to get it back. Congrats!Comment

the last one i bought back was horrible, and i didn't want to rebuild it, again. Glad yours was treated well over the years."If I asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses." - Henry FordComment

Congrats on finding an old friend/family member. Hopefully you and your son can enjoy it together. Must be like opening a time capsule to see things unchanged from the last time you had the car.Originally posted by Z06killinsbf View PostI did a thing, just when I'm nearing completion with my car I track down a new one. This is my old 89 5.0. I bought this right after I graduated high-school back in 2004, was our get away car at our wedding, I drug it out to southern Georgia when I joined the Navy and then sold it a few years after that since I had a kid on the way. I have been looking for the car since 2010 when I moved back to Texas and have finally tracked it down a week ago. So Friday of last week I boarded a plane for Jacksonville, FL, had a buddy pick me up from the airport and drive me to the car. 30 minutes later I had keys in hand and headed west. I put just over 1,000 miles on the car in 1-1/2 days with zero knowledge of the overall condition. Short of some flat spotted, 12 year old tires, fixed back race seats and straight pipe exhaust, the car didn't miss a beat! I'm now trying to return it back to a clean, nicely modded daily, removing much of the "boy racer" doo dads I put on it when I was in my early 20's and some of the "professional" repairs done to it. But I'm in heaven with the car and my wife can finally stop hearing me talk about it all the time. She even likes it enough to have our son take our picture with it.
After I got it home, installed new headlights and removed all the excess gauges.

It’s a “8 foot” fence. I think I put the light at about 6’ or so. They look good when they all workOriginally posted by 4EyedTurd View PostComment
