Glad I clicked on the forum again. Sorry, I've just been out of the loop too long!

The car looks fantastic! I am deeply appreciative of the hard work and dedication it took to restore this car to its glory. I am also thrilled that along its journey, the right mindset individuals made sure the next guy was truly interested in restoring it and not cutting it up. It has truly been saved.

This is the kind of fate that I dreamed about for the car. I am thrilled!

Matt,
The new owner absolutely LOVES this car :-)
It is in really good hands now. Just think this all started (at least my involvement) with my winning a SSP cluster on eBay with a second chance offer :-) the right questions and the rest is history...

[coupe]

Matt,
The new owner absolutely LOVES this car :-)Awesome! Someday, I will find another Texas DPS coupe.

Awesome! Someday, I will find another Texas DPS coupe.

So Matt,
What do you have now?

So Matt,
What do you have now?
As for stangs, I still have my '92 S.Carolina SSP and my '86 5.0 coupe. Also saved a rare '79 5.0 coupe from the drag race crowd last year (80k miles) but it doesn't run because it has been sitting since 1998...I'll probably sell it though. My weekend fun toy is an early model Viper, which I've wanted since I first saw them back in the 90's.

You should take the SC SSP to Charlotte for the 50th. We're getting to get her a pretty good size group to ride up there if you'd like to join in? Most are leaving from Alabama...

Keep me in mind if you ever decide to sell the SC SSP Matt!

Keep me in mind if you ever decide to sell the SC SSP Matt!I ponder selling it every day Brad. LOL. It's in "engine rebuilding" mode right now due to alot of miles, but I'll keep you in mind.
