Title: New Addition
Post by: RTStabler51 on March 14, 2007, 11:37:26 AM
I know I don't post much, but here is the new addition that took away money from my 84 'Bird.....

60k Miles.  2R.  Stock (Minus KN & FRPP Driveshaft)  I may do a boost valve and update the brakes.  We'll see though.

Here's when she arrived home.  I drove from DC -> Detroit -> Fort Wayne -> DC Saturday morning -> Sunday afternoon.  All after arriving home from FL at midnight Friday night.

That is a  nice lookin' SVO. Very cool.

Those seats
 are just like what i have in my Tbird, is there any way you could get a pic of the back rest part, and the headrest, so I can compare to mine? I took mine from an '86 ASC/McLaren, guy I bought the car from didn't have a clue what they were from...
Be sweet if I have a set of SVO buckets.... much less in a rattly old Tbird! :hick:

Again, niceeeee car.

I got chastised by the SVO guys for that as well, however the Liberty CRD is more than capable of towing it, as its towed two Fox Birds on that same trailer and my former CSVT........electroinic brakes and 20mpg....


I'll try to get some better pics of the seats this weekend for ya...

Original plans were to open track the car.  I probably still will but not to the extent I originally intended.  Most likely the 'Bird will be turned into the open track type car...
