Wow...not far away from me either. Nice find.
Except I'm not a huge fan of that powder blue paint from '83. ;)

Haha...and lest there be any mistake (which I don't think there is), no hate at all, just impressed. I'd say surprised...but I am NOT surprised, and shouldn't be LOL. I'd love to see a picture of the stack of boxes. I'm sure it would be intense.

One day I will do that. Most of the boxes are rather small so it's not as impressive of a stack.

Maybe I'll just arrange the boxes on the driveway in the shape of the car, in the places where they go, just to give perspective.
Heh...this should be interesting LOL.

I have a sefi v-8 harness, motor with random h.o. upgrades, computer, brakes, 3.73 axle, transmission, springs and seats, but no fox. I basically have the whole car without the "chassi". I've been getting the itch hard, but the cars just aren't there like they used to be. I've been thinking about throwing the 5speed in the wagon to replace the slipping auto.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
