      Default New from Florida

      I heard about this site over at MustangCollective and had to join.
      Picked up alot of great info just watching for a few weeks, I plan on picking your brains in the future for help with my two 4-eyes.

      The 83 is currently complete and running but starting to show it's northern rust, bought it from Chicago about 4-5 years ago. This is going to be a
      long term project over the next couple years.
      Plan to add a 351/auto in the future.

      Just picked up the 84 t-top on Craiglist in Ocala, body is alot nicer with a small amount of rust at hatch hinge area. Car is fairly complete minus the engine. Current plan for this one is to swap in the 83 motor and quick clean-up for a nice street ride. Hope to have it done for Mustang Week in July.

      The Grabber Orange 07 is a 4.0 with a few performance and appearance mods, get lots of looks with this one.


      These are the other sites I visit often , will be in touch with plenty of questions ..... JP

      Welcome to the site. Your just down the road from me. I know I've seen the '07 on the streets around here before. Looks real nice. I like the 4 eyes too. My t-toped 85 looks very similar to your 84. Nice cars.

      Nice cars.. your 83 looks pretty nice to me. The 07 looks great in that color. The scary thing about the new V6 mustang is they share their factory HP rating with my 85 GT

      Has your '85 been sitting on jackstands under a carport lately? I see one over there like that near downtown Umatilla. I rip by there on my bike quite often.
