That's too bad. They look in better shape than mine. Mine could use a good cleaning at the very least. The guy, who by the way owns a car care company, :( had weights on the outside of the rim. You can see the damage in the first picture.

Since this Bird had not been flying for approx two years, the wife and took it on a Sunday outing to limber her up a bit. The pix at the lighthouse was taken at Bodie Island, just south of Nags Head NC(about 90 mi from home).

If anyone is interested check out the link for more info...

The other two pictures were taken at the Grave Diggers Monster Truck shop in Grandy NC.(you could probably figure that one out)

Does that include airfare, food, hotels, the possibility of breakdowns, gas, and FERRY FEES? Sure it would have been a little cheeper to drive providing we didn't run into any problems and airfare for one person. We had some other issues too.
 
But with that said, Tom is reconsidering driving it up for me. We'll know what way we're going by Thursday.

Yeah! I noticed the similarity of those wheels to mine a while back. The center black peice looks like it's just stuck on there with some glue. They were probably made by the same company. You could easily remove the black center from the back, without damaging the cap, and put something more custom looking there...like a cougar emblem ;)

I'm gonna hijack the truck on the 104. When you get the car it will be sans rear end, hood, header panel, rims and interior. But you can laways use the parts off your old Sport to put it back together, right? :D

Tom, hold off on the paint job. Looks like you're out of luck there ThunderChicken! The car won't be on the 104. It's going to Montreal from VA and from ther to St. John's on boat. :rollin:
