Het guys and gals, long time no talk. First good news, it looks like I will be getting another fox sooner than I thought. My good friend of 12 years passed away two months ago and left me his 93 notch I helped him build. It is a 347 stroker with AFR heads and Edlebroc RPM II intake, dynod @ 396 rwhp and has a T-56 with 4.10's and only 38K on chasis. We spent alot of time working on it and I am very honored and tuched he left it to me (his wife always hated the car and said she is glad to see it go) Just have pay shipping from Hawaii.
Now on to the funny story, click on these two links in order.

Sorry to hear about your friend.

How much is it going to cost you to get the car shipped?

$987 to get it to Cali. Another 2k to get it trucked here. I think I will fly to Cali (only $119) and drive it down, we will see.

Thanks all! I will miss my friend alot. Could not even guess how much time we spent over the years working on that car. We did everything to it, MM everything except 3-link conversion, 5-lug, high compression stroker, T-56. I will keep this car forever! I am looking at moving so I wont live on a dirt road and get a two car garrage for the two Stangs. Dont want to leave the Cobra out, but of the two it would have to. I still want to get ahold of his son, I am suprised Tony didnt leave it to him.

Sorry to hear about your friend. Do something to honour him like a custom airbrush or something on the dash or somewhere to remind you of him and all the fun you had.

I go to Oahu next month to box the car and ship it. It will arrive Nov 12 and I will drive it to Texas. I will put up pictures galore because I have always wanted and been very proud of this car. I decided I am going to keep it till x-mas next year and will give it to Tonys son for x-mas/house warming present after he graduates college and has a garage for it. His son told me he is happy I got it because its like its still in the faimly. Tony always talked about giving it to his son and I found the will was written when he and his son were going through a ruff spot and never got aroubd to changing it. I would love to keep it but I think it should go to his boy.

Sorry to hear about your friend, it sounds like you are doing the right thing though by planning to give the car to his son in the future.
