My car in 1988

I just found this picture I took back in 1988 of my 1981 Capri. Now don't laugh to much at the beautiful orange stripes. God what the hell was I thinking back then. Must have been all that pot and moonshine taking control of my 17 year old mind!

ok I'm getting choked up thinking of the Mustangs I had and wishing I still had them. I might as well share them with everyone.

 

The 66 convertible wa my dad's. He bought it in 75 for $200 and put about $2000 into it. He had a new top done, painted from ugly powder blue to this shade of blue (can't remember the name of it). He also did a few other things to the car, but no mods. It had the slowest freakin 200 Sprint straight 6 in I ever drove. The 79 Pace Car I bought off a buddy that just got back from Desert Storm for $60. Granted it had a blown head gasket on the turbo 4cyl, but it would still bark the tires in 3rd gear!! This car had almost perfect Recaro's in it. I sold it for $1000 to fund a trip to Florida.

The 87 I bought off of Pete Ricart for $5000 in 1990 (and if it wasn't for Fred I would have paid $6000). Car had every option except for a sunroof and cruise control and only had 42,000 miles on the clock.

The 87 was stolen and recovered after slamming into a telephone pole on Main St. in Lancaster. Here's what it looked like the day I got it back from having a complete rear clip put on it.

After this car was sold to help pay for my wedding in 94 I wanted to get another in 95, the wifey said no so I said hit the road bitch. Got divorsed in 96 and bought my 86 convertible in 97, sold the 86 a couple years ago and bought my current 89 convertible. Sorry it's not a good pic of the 86.
