He seems very excited about it for sure.
"Low she sits on five spoke wheels
Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

98SVT - was 06GT

Guy owns 20+ cars and needs to borrow a trailer? I know where he should put some of his windfall.
Too bad the shirt doesn't come in RED.
Previous owner 6S843 - GT350H & 68 GT500 Convert #135.
Mine: GT1 Mustang, 1998 SVT 32V, 1929 Model A Coupe, Wife's: 2004 Tbird

My sentiments exactly.  Maybe I should make a one off custom tee shirt for 843.  On a black background?  Overhead view?

Can't believe at one point in the mid 90s I was considering painting your car white.  That would have been a huge mistake.  I did the right thing in the end.

Well apparently he runs with the "young crowd" who know him quite well.  He has a large following.

Eat less food.  Buy more gas.  Problem solved.

On TV/YouTube/whatever...As soon as I see an ultra-close-up goofy facial expression, or an Azz Monkey kind of WHOOOO! gesture, I'm outta there.

Yes there seems to be a lot of goofy smiles from millennials. I am old school preferring a face at rest.

Assuming he follows through on wanting to vintage race he will find the learning curve is steep and the "game" is not a cheap one. Who know's, this may be just another Millenial's passing fancy and the Hertz may be back on the market soon. Hopefully before he wraps it around something or into someone.

Does anyone know this cars number? Maybe it was the angle, but it looked like a new repro tag.

  It must be a Lemming event phenomenon!    ::)

  But one thing that is (should be) concerning of the car's preparation is the roll-cage execution, this with the cross bar below the dash.  I see this execution repeatedly, and it is solely as a matter of convenience for the fabricator that this is done this way.  The issue is, if the car should tumble with the occupant truly being restrained by the his belts, one's legs aren't; which will lead to them impacting this bar and often resulting in fractured legs!  :o

  And yes, I see the padding (maybe an acknowledgement of a concern?  ??? ); but don't think that in a significant bounce, where one might really be counting on that roll-cage, that it's going to make any real difference.   ;)

  So, even though one may very well survive the horrendous crash, with this bar execution it just might not be one that you walk away from!   ::)
