So uhh... I bought it

This thing is the muscle car I’ve always dreamed of, it’s ratty, has a mean look, and has almost no extra bourgeoisie options except for the tachometer. It’s the perfect base model spec for me and I absolutely love it! Merry Christmas to me! Thanks Oppo for enabling me to make a ridiculous purchase from the other side of the country and across a border. Can’t wait to get it home!

I’m not at all a fan of that model car’s looks, but very happy for you getting what you wanted.

Edit: Clarified that I was writing about the model in general . . . although this example does look pretty badly beat on. Looking forward to seeing some magic happen.

Now the question is, how does it cross the border?

GenuineAlexReid - The Reidus > K-Roll-PorscheTamer

I’m setting that up, unfortunately it probably won’t pass through you this time :(

W00t w00t, more Canadian Roadkill-esque-ness! :P

Will this one be restored or kept in....current condition? :P

It looks rough, I know the 71-73 Mustangs are polarizing, but I’ve always like them. Thank you!

Cletus is a restorer, I’m a hot rodder. It’ll probably be the way it is forever, but maybe if I find a nice fender or something I’ll bring it back. It’s actually in fairly decent shape despite its looks!

No worries! Take teh route that avoids as much salt and brine as possible! However, I will be visiting you lot at some point in the next year; and when I do, I will be acquiring my maple syrup. :p

To the junkyard! For a fender, I mean.

Hahaha, some may have more than 2 doors as well!

I’m not much a beer person. But I’ll gladly have rum with you, unless you know of some Canadian beers I may fancy!

What’s the powerplant plan?

Also interesting that they have a fire extinguisher outside.

bob and john > GenuineAlexReid - The Reidus
12/19/2016 at 18:58

This thing drive, or are you trailering it? if it is a runner even with those panels that is one hell of a deal.

GenuineAlexReid - The Reidus > My bird IS the word
12/19/2016 at 20:08

No engine or transmission, which is exactly what I wanted. Cletus and I are figuring out the deets on getting it to Canada

GenuineAlexReid - The Reidus > bob and john
12/19/2016 at 20:09

Might have to pry this one from my cold, dead hands! It’s the muscle car I’ve always wanted.

GenuineAlexReid - The Reidus > XJDano
12/19/2016 at 20:10

Something nasty, un-American, and carbureted.

bob and john > GenuineAlexReid - The Reidus

that wont be so hard. I’ve already seen evidence that neither you OR Clayton can fight your way out of a wet paper bag

GenuineAlexReid - The Reidus > bob and john

It’s pretty easy to run over somebody on a motorcycle with a truck tho

bob and john > GenuineAlexReid - The Reidus
12/19/2016 at 21:50

Only easy if you can catch me.

Unless your truck can do a sub 12.5 second quarter, aint happening.

GenuineAlexReid - The Reidus > bob and john
12/19/2016 at 21:51

well ya got me there

bob and john > GenuineAlexReid - The Reidus
12/19/2016 at 22:05

I mean Ive seen sub 12 second truck. I just doubt you have one, or if you do, that it runs.

You need to find a car wash and swap it out for one that isn’t all beat up.
