So I'm seriously considering selling the '86....

[CRASH]

Since I've started doing the striping deal, using the '86 is VERY impractical for hauling all my paint stuff around. It's a real pain in the....BACK !! An '86 Mustang GT just wasn't made to haul 3 tool boxes full of paint, etc.

I've been contemplating selling the GT and using that money to either A.) put the money into my '55 Buick wagon and use it as my paint hauling/advertising buggy, or B.) finding an old Suburban, sedan delivery, or panel truck to use as my stripe buggy. The wagon needs some floor work, and I'll probably clip it front AND rear with some later model frame sections for parts availability, ease of engine/tranny installation, ride comfort, etc. So I could do ALL of that, or buy someone else's project and finish it, or find one that's pretty much already finished and just tailor it to suit my needs/wants.

I've found a few cool old Suburbans and such, so I'm torn. I'm not so attached to the green car that I would cry to see it go though, so that's a good thing. I'm also going to sell the Riviera and use that money towards my stripe buggy/advertising.

Anyone have any suggestions ?

I know what you mean. My 94GT isnt exactly the best keg hauler. I'm probably going suv soon. :-(

Any car with leaf springs isn't going to be any friendlier on your back than a foxbody.

You need a 60'ish caddy! Rides like a lazy boy and has enough trunk space for a dozen bodies. Or so Im told anyway....

The ride is not what is hard on my back. It's trying to fanagle the three boxes in and out of the back seat of the car. They are awkward and cumbersome, so having a Suburban/sedan delivery/panel with doors that open on the back would be a huge help !

That's really newer than what I would be interested in. Thanks for the suggestion though !

This is EXACTLY what I'm talking about. I've looked at that one numerous times too ! It's a little pricey for me, but if I sold the Rivi and the Mustang I might could make something like that happen.

I'll send you a PM in a bit. We're about to go to dinner.

Are you asking for pics of my car, or the Mont wagon that was posted above ?

I thought about something else too. I could write off the vehicle as part of the business.

Here's some pictures of the '86. As it sits currently, it has the black Draglites on it. I still have the ROH's too.

My Dad has an 82 or 83 3/4 ton suburban is thinking about selling, has a 454. Gas mileage is great. No 3rd seat, so lots of room to haul stuff.

Anyone have any suggestions ?
