1989 Currant Red In Hershey PA

[JRA2000TL]

I wish I'd seen cars like this before I bought mine. Not that mine's a piece of trash or anything but it's going to require a few bucks and a paint job to be up to par (a little more than I figured it'd need). You've done a great job with this car. I think I was just so impatient when I bought mine. Now the few minor things it needs are driving me crazy and I need to just get rid of it to pay for some other things after all. Waiting to buy a house with a garage is the best thing for me before I buy anymore toys to play with.

When I do it again, if it's not another SHO, it'll be a 69 Cougar XR7 hardtop blue w/white top 351 Windsor V8 w/ magnum 500 wheels, just like my dad's 1st car. I want a classic ride and I really love those old Cougars. While they'll cost more initially, I'd hope they wouldn't be as much of a mechanical headache as SHOs are since cars were so much simpler back then.

Thanks for the compliment Mike.
I'll be bringing it to Carlisle.

And did I hear Cougar.
I have one of those as well, a 68.

The trunk is back in.

The headliner and visors are in.

The package shelf minus speakers, I'm still undecided.

The rear area is in.

I still need to clean the front seats and dash.

This car is probably the most sanitized sho in existence, well worth the money! Makes me wish I didnt have my mustang right now!

 

[mrecoolgar]

Thanks Karson.
I do my best within a reasonable spent dollar amount.
If that makes sense.

 

[S&MSHO]

This car has come a long way.
Im hopeing my truck sells this summer for about the same price your asking, so I can pick this beauty up.

Wow, the longer this thread goes on, the more I am amazed at the attention to detail. Keep up the amazing work!

Seeing a gen 1, let alone a '89, get this much TLC and loving really brings a tear to my eye.. Great job man! I wish you the best luck with the sale and the son! It's always sad to see that stuff happen. I've seen families go through similiar, but not identical incidents. I couldn't even imagine being in your shoes man. Stay strong! I ended up makin myself a batch of popcorn 1/4 way through your post.. lol, so entertaining of a read!

 

[mrecoolgar]

Thanks guys.
Here are some shots with the headliner in place.
The moonroof console has 2 holes from a previous owners attemt to fix.
They are filled in now.
The mirror will be replaced.

I've been following this for awhile and just wanted to say I think the car is beautiful, you've done an excellent job with it. I hope it's still for sale in a few months (for my sake) and for your sake I hope it's not Can't wait to see it at Carlisle!

 

[mrecoolgar]

Here are two from yesterday.
You can see our door and window in the first one.
And our rental house in the other,
I did more waxing today.
I still need to wax the skirting an the front bumper.
The clock is ticking down.
And it's going to rain all day tomorrow.
