Well, I have decided to convert to HO. But first my transmission needs to be fixed, and it is in the shop today for that. On the way I was able to take two pictures of the interior, when I get it back I will take more. Paint job is maroon/red, and the interior is the same color.

Quality of photos are not great right now. They were taken with my phone while driving to the transmission shop.
*New pic of the car, my camera phone sucks in the daylight, picked up a bad glare.
I am planning on buying the HO parts to convert it to a 5.0L HO V8, it only has 40k miles, so I do not want to do too much to it yet. Everything else in the car is pretty much stock, it has the floor shifter as well.
Thats not red! I hope thats your phone that makes it look that way? I think it's kinda purplish pink.Get a spray can,LOL!
Get some more pics when you can,and let us know all the details of the car,and what you're plans are.
I should be able to take more pictures tomorrow when I get it back from the Transmission shop. Transmission had to be rebuilt, $1,650 :(.
@kitzdnm It is red, the lighting was weird when I was driving so my phone made it look that color.
for that much, you should be getting a pretty nice tranny with a shift kit.
Well I got two estimates one from Circle D here and houston, and then another called Carter Transmission. Circle D was $1,400 labor then depending on the parts it needs it could go up to $2,000
too bad you ain't in florida. we're rebuilding trans in class.
You should be able to find a good use AOD pretty cheap. Of course it seems they all need to be rebuilt under 100k miles.
Guess my Ford re-mfg AODE for was the wifes Grand Marquis was a steal at $900 shipped... Of course I had to put it in...
New picture taken, had the transmission fixed. My camera phone sucks, so I will take more pictures when I get my uncles digital camera and when I vacuum the carpet in the car.
sweet looking bird. what wheels are those? the color looks off, but it looks clean. definatly post some more pictures with a digital camera
I have no clue what wheels they are, they were already on when my grandfather bought it from one of our neighbors like 8 years ago.
Those wheels were probibly made buy US Wheel, I had some on my 86 Mustang that were black. Anyway,Very nice looking ride.
wow...too bad you didnt just replace the tranny yourself. heck, you could have converted it to a stick for that or stuck a built up aod in there easy.
looks like a nice car though. id prob put different wheels on it soon.
sweet looking car i like the wheels and paint myself but im very odd lol
Thats more than just a "NICE" ride for sure. It looks great!!
To all,,
did anyone happen to notice the effect his camera had on the side shot of the car? If you look at a glance, the rear of the bird looks like it has a horizontal spoiler like found on those chev lumina's. I know its a picture quality issue but there seems to be a few lines in the pic that lend more to your imagination,,atleast mine anyway.
It doesnt sound like a bad idea actually.
YES I see that! Duuuuuude that would be sick.
I actully notice that a lot with photos...it seems to happen quite frequently, reflections/shadows add in extra stuff that makes you see things that aren't really there and sometimes it looks good!
I do like those lumina z34s too. Nice lookin those and beretta gtz's they got the solid header panel a la TC.
Looks great:D Just get some new wheels so it doesn't look so redneck :hick:
