Nice car I agree with the consensus that you need to get out there and get your car exposed at those events where magazine coverage is highly likely. Most featured cars are "discovered" at these events, and if they like what they see they usually come to you. Some of the fox body stangs featured in the mags today have something that makes them stand out from the rest of the herd (pun intended)...like a modular motor, wild paint scheme or a very simple and clean example of it's representative model. I got lucky in the fact that the Tech Editor of 5.0 M&SF is a personal friend. Thanks to him, my '89 coupe has a BAER Brake Systems brake kit. Just remember that like most car show winners, the owner with the most $$$$$ invested into his car usually takes home the trophy. Good luck with your quest, hope to see your car in magazine in the near future.
