Thanks all :-)
I knew when I sold this car to my friend Robby it was going to a good home... We're planning on making the May 11th Show and Go at Paradise Drag Strip. We'll be carrying the DPS; GSP: CHP; and FHP. Will take plenty of pics when we do...

The car looks fantastic! I am deeply appreciative of the hard work and dedication it took to restore this car to its glory. I am also thrilled that along its journey, the right mindset individuals made sure the next guy was truly interested in restoring it and not cutting it up. It has truly been saved.

This is the kind of fate that I dreamed about for the car. I am thrilled!

Matt,
The new owner absolutely LOVES this car :-)
It is in really good hands now. Just think this all started (at least my involvement) with my winning a SSP cluster on eBay with a second chance offer :-) the right questions and the rest is history...

As for stangs, I still have my '92 S.Carolina SSP and my '86 5.0 coupe. Also saved a rare '79 5.0 coupe from the drag race crowd last year (80k miles) but it doesn't run because it has been sitting since 1998...I'll probably sell it though. My weekend fun toy is an early model Viper, which I've wanted since I first saw them back in the 90's.

You should take the SC SSP to Charlotte for the 50th. We're getting to get her a pretty good size group to ride up there if you'd like to join in? Most are leaving from Alabama...

Keep me in mind if you ever decide to sell the SC SSP Matt!

I ponder selling it every day Brad. LOL. It's in "engine rebuilding" mode right now due to alot of miles, but I'll keep you in mind.
