      That's really cool. Nice trip down memory lane. My 1st memory of Gas Monkey was that very post; had never heard of them before that. Is yours a factory F-code car too, Mike? The factory would often build similar cars together

      No, 2.3L (Y) which is why it got a built 2.3T rather than an updated 5.0.

      My car is pretty ugly (even though i like it) and somehow this is even uglier. Just my opinion.

      Poor guy probably thought he was gonna get a small fortune for it. It is a typical example of the shows workmanship, which is not a good thing. What can I say, was not a fan of the show or the cars they worked on. JMO

      I like GYSOT since he likes '68 Shelbys. Winner in my book. Car is stupid, wrapping is stupid, and GMG name is stupid, but I like Richard Rawlings' good taste in cars. Also he won some Gumball Rally type thing, for those who may not know, refer to 1976 film of the same name

      Needs a makeover unwrap it back to stock look.
      Cash in the rims and tires, redo suspension, tame the race car interior look.

      Seen a red/red plaid stock 2.3/auto plain Fairmont once.
      Thought that was loud looking...until now.

      Agreed, I think Gary Busey and the late Raoul Julia are in it, also
