No. Its a nice car, but I don't want to spend that much on it. I've been showing my 84 Fiero for a few years now and earlier this month I put it in the shop to get it painted. If I remember right this is the 16th year I've owned the Fiero, so I owed it something nice. Maybe if it stays there a bit longer I'll try to get the price lower.

Yahoo maps says it's 333 miles from here to there.
Why'd I check that, you ask?
Oh, no particular reason.

Actually, I'm in the beginning stages of resurrecting a 1998 NASCAR edition F-150 and the wife would not be happy with another pony in the stable.
Sure, she can have 85 collectible watering cans but heaven forbid I want just one more car. ( She's not in the room as I type this ) :-)
So tell him to go for it. I mean it. That's a nice collectible Mustang.
FWIW, this was mine:

This was the F-150 when new. Only 3000 made in one model year so it's a minor collectible:
Babied it for 6 years and then sold it to my son-in-law when his work truck died. I kept the right of first refusal when he wore it out, though.
Well after another 7 years and a total of 198K miles it's worn out. For an idea of what it looks like now visit any junk yard and look for a black F-150. :-)
But it has NO rust or accidents so right now it's getting a new motor and suspension bits and then off to the body shop. The interior and a few mechanical items I can handle myself.
Interesting thing is that I had a hard time finding a body shop in the Hampton Roads area that would take on the job. They automatically classify this as a restoration even though it's just some minor body work and a repaint. Most of them just want to do insurance work.
I did find a couple of places though so I think I'm all set.
Oh and wifey knows about the receipts. Her first husband was a Porsche fanatic and she stuck with him and his addiction until he died so a TRUCK is no problem.
Plus I can always point out the watering cans, antique hose nozzles, butterfly pins, clay pots, wooden bowls and a bunch of other collections that came with the marriage contract. :-)

Thanks for the pic Ray,thats a nice truck! I like the wheels that came with that package.As for as my wife's hobby spending account,she had me beat for many years until I started to get into a long list of fiero parts that I needed. She still loves me anyway [This message has been edited by davylong86 (edited 04-25-2014).]
