I think I figured i've made enough progress to not be completely embarrassed about posting a build thread about my new acquisition. So i guess it's about time i shared the story.
I originally saw it on CL when i first started looking, but kinda skipped over it. My first real prospect was an '04 SY GT with a Mach 1000 at a dealer my friend worked at, that fell through. Next was a very nice Mystic, then i realized being more in debt wasn't really worth it considering the position i was in. Then i slept back on the Mystic for a while, then went and looked at/test drove another Atlantic Blue convertible with the same grey interior with less miles and some basic mods/chrome bullitts. The owner was the father of one of the guys in our local club actually. I was led to believe it was a clean car, it wasn't...and he wanted way too much. So that same day when i got home i jumped back on CL and i saw it again. The ad was back up after being taken down for a while due to a guy almost buying it. So i went and looked at it a few hours later.
About a week or so later, it was mine.
I'm the 4th owner. 1st owner had it in Key Largo for almost 15yrs, the 2nd owner had it for a year and some change, and the guy i bought from had it for a few months.
Bonestock with 86k, and the top had recently been replaced.
First mods, steering wheel, headlights, shorty antenna, wipers/arms, pony emblem.
