Ah, yes, He was cool. He vanished, someone asked about him, I think it was Tim who got in touch w/him and told him he was being sought, and he came back to tell us of how he gave up the car for some reason. Can't remember what exactly but it hurt to hear. Now the new seller is sellin'.

he got too many tickets, and couldnt afford the car anymore. He sold it and looks like another guy bought it and threw a blower on it.

pretty sweet car, but the front bumper, headlights and hood don't come together worth a damn. It really is kinda hard to get it to all fit right.

I remember paul helping a lot of people w/ paint questions.

LOTS and LOTS of Mustang guys (in my area especially) come and go. They buy them do a ton of work and off them as fast as they got them. Not saying this is the case but a lot of times they arent really "Mustang" guys, but cars guys with a Mustang, and see it as disposable as the next name brand product! Nice car though and a lot of work did indeed go into it!

he was a good guy to have round here...

my only gripe was that he had a fair share of tacky little things done to the car. Highlights you might say....lol....never got over that

For some it's a love affair...it lasts until the lust dies out. Then for others we may as well have the blue oval branded into our asses and bleed blue blood.

4 hours and 39 min left on the car and it's at $6600. It's ebay item number 330108608582 in case no one caught the first link (hope posting the item number is ok, Daggs).

That's really not bad, but who knows how the person after Paul treated the car. Paul said he sold it for $5000. He said he had that under the hood, but he needed the money and he said no one wanted it because the heads weren't emissions legal and it didn't have a smog pump. I'd definitely have given him the 5 grand for that car, but who knows how the other dude treated the car now. It's too far from me anyway. No more buying sight unseen for me
