    hey.. I'll race ya for those seats. :Handshake

    nice car and reminds me of an old V6 Pinto wagon I had for a few months in the process of flipping it for profit. I was amazed at how many cars and V8 trucks I could whip up on with that car. Aside form the slightly burly sound of the Walker Dynomax muffler.. talk about a sleeper! :)

    Hey. I got those seats at O'Reilly (used to be Kragen) auto parts. They had them for $153 dollars a seat. But I showed them a Summit add for the same seats for $134 a piece and they price matched Summit. I drove happily away with my new seats :burnout:Little did we know the passenger side seat well is about 2 inches narrower than the driver side. Still got em' in but it was a little frustrating.
    Also: I drove a 75 V6 Pinto and was amazed at how well it got up and went. I know now why they only offered it in automatic. Because if a 4-Speed was available it would have beat the V6 Mustang II.
