Too Cool
 

That's is awesome, I have to admit that is one 2nd gen I drool over! Very Cool Story!

For me its kind of sad, its taken all these years to appreciate vehicles like that..

Very cool story!

I stared at that mag until my eyes hurt.

Mr V sent you a pm.

Thats the feature story i have been referring few times when someone has started "who started pro-touring" topic . I still recall reading that issue when it was only few years old. It was part of my older friends shop library. I am sure i still might have it somewhere.

Pretty serious ride over 30 years ago :wow:

I was just going through my magazines last wknd and ran into a few copies of that issue...had to take a moment to leaf through it...both of those cover cars were killer!:yes:

Had a ROUND 2 with Mr.Dicksa...
