    Stallion arrived today!!! See pics in my gallery! :thumbs2: I was very happy. The car is extremely solid. I drove it home after work, 25 miles. It ran and drove great. It has the 250 with a 3 speed on the floor. The paint is okay for now but will get a complete repaint in the near future. The rear bumper is bent so if anybody has a nice one I am in the market (since Pasc won't let me do a small bumper swap). The car is pretty much unmolested other than the bumper and rear tail panel. I need to straighten the panel and replace the rt tail light. The engine still has the factory smog pump hooked up and operating, very rare in itself. The bucket seats will need a little work. I'll run it by my upholstery guy tomorrow and see what he can do. Should be able to just replace a few inserts and be done with it. I expect I'll be doing something with those whitewall tires too. They came factory with white letter tires. If I leave the factory wheels on I figure to probably go back with white letter tires.
    Well, what you guys think? :huh:

    That's the one from Washington state, huh? I emailed him about the car. His 14 year daughter was a little snott. She emailed me, not him. When I asked questions about the car, she told me serious inquires only. I told her I was serious & who I was. She told me I was rude. I told her she was the rude one. Time for her to grow up....
    Nice score on the stallion. I was seriously thinking about getting that car.... It was only 75 miles from me....

    Looks a lot nicer in your pics than it did on the ad. I am sure you will be the best thing that ever happened to the car.

    Are you sure you dont want to do a small bumper conversion. Original is nice though

    Yeah, their pictures sucked. I never did get real good pics...musta been using a camera phone. I just decided to take a chance before somebody like Mercurycruizers jumped all over it. Lucky for me he's so rude! :rolleyes:

    Oh, I have everything needed to do a small bumper conversion. Got some thinking to do on that one. I think I'll get a Marti report and see what kind of info it comes up with.
