That really sucks! I was hoping it was still April 1st and it was a sick joke. Hopefully the guy sells it and buys a 4 banger instead.

maybe the new buyer wasn't briefed on the rarity of the car when he showed up with the all important, number one product..... $$$$$$$$$$$$$$

It looks that way, guys. He posted on FEP and looks like he's registering here, now.

I am the "illiterate" owner of this vehicle. Guess I may ruffle some feathers here....

I'm not going to hack it up. It won't find its way wrapped around a tree or face-planted into a retaining wall at a local track. It isn't going to find its way on concrete blocks behind a trailer. It also won't be a trailer queen...it will see regular street use and some weekend track time.

It will be semi-restored to its former glory, however no black/tan FHP color scheme since it will be a street driven vehicle. I've learned this car is a bit more rare than I had originally thought, so my ambitions may have to be toned down a bit. Anything I do to this car will be completely reversable (with probably the exception of weld-in subframe connectors...a foxbody necessity).

Alan,

Wynne was frustrated, like many of us get when we see one of these cars being destroyed, when he saw your post over there. I think "illiterate" may have been the wrong word to use, but I can certainly understand why he posted what he did.

Check out the FHP Agency Resto section and feel free to ask any questions here. That car is extremely rare and deserves to be restored. Maybe we can get you to change your mind a bit on your future plans with it, or find you a roller to use instead.

Welcome to the board.

as rare as that car is it needs to be restored. no sub frames welded in because with the stock motor that is the LAST thing the car needs. If you want a street/track car PLEASE buy a 4 banger and build away. I know several people that would be very interested in buying the FHP car from you at a profit to you if you would rather sell it than mod it.

the car is very rare.

welcome to the board.
