Eric good guess, but Scott got it correct - it's an '88 Town Car with Dodge Neon SXT bucket seats, T-bird Sport floor shifter, Boss 429 fiberglass hood scoop (functional), very stiff coil springs with poly bushings everywhere and heavy-valved shocks all around, and as big swaybars as Ford ever came up with for that chassis. It also has a very beefy push bar up front, and a spare wheel carrier behind behind the rear clip with the chrome ring around the tire like conversion vans have it. My buddy wants a 4x4 conversion so he can take it to Silver Lake, but we'll see... Thanks for the nice comments on it tho :D

Ivan,

I have an 02 Neon and the seats in it are fairly comfortable for being in a small car. Your seats look just like mine...... It still is not a comfortable as the big leather "chairs" in the Ex...... but I could store the Neon inside the Ex so........

Scott, these seats came out of a '00 Neon, so I think they should be the same as those in your '02. And they ain't really all that comfortable, not for long road trips at least, but they are very supportive when it comes to taking corners at speeds near twice the posted limit, so they do fine for me :D I actually have them on the Lincoln power sliders, so they are 6-way adjustable - before I chop the roof the car used to be my daily driver so I like all my bells and whistles working. Now if only I didn't get effed over the soft top, by a buddy too... lol

Andrew, that's a very sweet Chevelle you got there!

Beautiful car, Andrew! Nice job fixin er' up!

I wanted a chevelle in HS, but I ended up with an '81 El Camino instead...

Thing had 2.73 gears in it and a 305, HOLY CRAP you could walk faster than my car in the 1/4 mile. I once lost a race to a Ford ******... that's when I gave up the Elko and bought my dad's '77 F250 with a 460, she would pass everything but a gas station!:puke:

Heres the wifes car, and my son...

We used to have a police package 5.0 LTD at work. It wasn't really quick or fast, kind of cool though.

I'm fully diggin' the Torinos and the Chevy crew;Sweet

Here's a pic of my GTX. Someday it might drive:dunno

This one's a 440 4 bbl, 4 spd, In Violet (plum crazy) car. I don't know where I'm gonna go with the color yet, first order of business is getting it so it'll move under it's own power. The engine, trans, and new rear are in it, just a few more details before I can light it:thumbsup: I've had this car since '91, but life keeps getting in the way-cuss

Dad's 66 Jeep, 327 V-8 with a 3 speed. Ran great mostly, would go anywhere with those tires. I was the fourth generation to drive it.

Dad's 97 PSD, which I sometimes call the powerchoke, powersmoke, powerjoke, etc. But it has done pretty well, and certainly has logged more trouble free miles than mine has. Here is is at the start of a 3,000 mile Colorado and back road trip.

Here is the Dodge truck that I briefly had. 2wd automatic:puke:

And my old Mercedes. Drove it 17,000 miles in a little over two years almost without a hitch. Only had it towed once, and the few problems I did have with it were mostly my fault from being a novice mechanic and trying to improve German engineering. It would do 90-100 all day and feel solid doing it.

Wow I would be posting pictures all day if i posted pictures i HAD.. And yeah everybody has told me of "ENTERPRISE" but i have yet to see it. If you need another one to replace her, my big white heifer is for sale.
And the red truck is the one i built in high school, sold her when i bought my 2001 Powerstroke and then traded for it back when my 2001 Powerstroke laid down on me. I love my Big Red.
