Your car pulls very similar to mine. It's even got the nose lift too:hick:

I have to get mine to the track. It's broken in but I'm waiting till Sep/Oct for two reasons

1: It's too hot here in July/Aug to get a good run.
2: It's still car show season till Labor day. I can't have rubber all over the quarters on my car for a show;)

they bought my brother a 2000 pontiac GTP for $7,500 about a year ago so buying a car for myself for around $3,500 is a good posibility.

Get some faster time slips for whats in the car and i will try my bext to get you $4,000+ for it its nice looking car clean inside and out I want a lincoln mark LSC really bad but i would pay around $4,000 since i spent more than that on labor for my car now + the fact i hope i can get a 2nd ride kind of soon and last of all i promise to not change the outside look of the car other than maybe the wheels thats it.

going to the track again in a few hours.  I will post what it will do. then.
  $4000 is way too much, hell $3500 id too much.  I would be happy with $3000.  that is what I have put into it, not including labour.  You mean pics with the '69 mach I scoop on it?  I can post them in a bit.

Ok fine if i can find a parking place for it $2998 and the $2 i save will buy a 1 months storage fee at the place 2 miles form my house. I bet it could run a lot fast the car looks good overall and at that price it would be a super nice ride 2 own.
