So my neighbor showed up in my driveway with this, he owns a shop in south Arlington and he restored it for a customer. I was told there's about $100k in this thing. It was immaculate. Just a few pics.

Dig that color. Think that's factory Indian red or something. Thanks for sharing!

Color is as bad ass as the car, I am all for restoring, but I could not keep the original wheels on it like that.

Could easy kiss away $20k or so because of that too. Lol

haha wow what a small world. My buddy worked for that shop owner when he was fresh out of tech school. He did most of the work on that build, motor, floor pans, rust removal, etc. Glad to see that thing is still alive!

That is correct sir. Pablo is his name, very good friend of mine, left to open his own shop. He runs Tandem Automotive now which just moved to borderline mansfield from arlington.

That car is greatness. Good comparison between old and new - can definitely see where the dna of the current gen Mustang come from.

Gotta have those OEM wheels on that car!
