Thats a Ragtop-He had the car since 1988. Back then it looked good-A lot of people installed them on their cars-Especiallly Cougars!! He had a HO swap 3.73 flowmasters and a shift kit(I think) CAI and some other things that I cant remember right now

Yup.  Just an appearance package.  They were very common up here.  Nothing like 10,000 dopes standing in the way of 2 3,000 pound cars screaming down a stretch of asphalt.  Conduit is done much safer...I never heard of a death at Fountain.  Were there ever any?

Almost forgot He also had a GST body kit. Does anyone know where this car is now-This car was always garage kept and super clean until the day he sold it. Someone in NY bought it. It also had 17" chrome Antera Rims when he sold it(3 Spoke)

I have personally only seen quite a few accidents over there. Someone once flipped there Mustang  and the driver was ejected from the car and laying their unconscious.  Their were more people ripping stuff off of his car than actually helping him out. Maybe some older members from NY remembers this. As you can see in this Video theres still street racing in NY and people still standing close to the action-I must admit I was there also behind the starting line.
