Anyone a gear head here?

If so, what do you drive/wrench on? I had a 1972 Chevy Nova, but then decided to go import with a Nissan 300zx.

I drive a 2001 Ford Mustang Bullitt. #3376 out of 5582 made.

Here is a little video I have about the car from MotorWeek. Enjoy!

I'm not really a gearhead, but this is my ride. I really like yours!

Thanks! Ahhh, but yours has a Bullitt feel to it. Almost even the right color.

I want a Mustang GT type ride someday. With my three girls now driving, one in college and getting married soon, the other two getting ready to go to college, I've had to just dream about it, and hope it will be a mid-life crisis mobile within the next 5 to 10 years...or my 'shortly before cardiac arrest' car...something like that. Jealous of you guys!

I was the project engineer for the Mustang convertible top system for three years.
I got to drive all kinds of Mustangs, mainly convertibles which included many SVT models.
I was at the plant in Dearborn that made Mustangs two or three days a week. I actually won a big award and patent for a water and air sealing system for the convertible starting in model year 2000.

Here is my first 1990 Nissan 300zx...

Image

But due to rust and paint issues, I decided to go with a new body I picked up that had less mileage and a later model year. Here she is the morning of her death...

Image

Her she is about 12 hours later...

Here is my new Fairlady, Yoko. I only have photos of here while I was working on here for now. Come spring I'll take some good shots.

Very impressive Matt!

TDK - I always loved those 300's. That one looked really sharp from the pictures. I will be interested to see the "finished product." Keep us posted!
