Purchased a 1988 GT 6 months ago, right from the farm in Florida, original owner, my wife would not get into car. Stated "your not going to buy that clunker" I did, and I love it. Its a labor of love. By the way,wife rides it and has drove it, she thinks it pretty cool now.
Glad to have you aboard! Check in with the guys in the Fox section as they love new members and love to see pictures, post some up if you have a chance.
