Yes a 69 Ta would be cool.. looked at a low
mileage one many years back in the north bay
The car was very nice but not perfect for the two
guys that collected them.. they had a warehouse full
of rare muscle cars and trust me they looked perfect
They wanted $20k for it...
Yes the GGB shot with your car is a great shot..will
do my current cars some day

Did a little red pin stripe on the stripes trying
to give the car and its old paint job a little something
It really does not show that well in the picture.. looks better in person
Just a couple of things left for Optima

Had a little header rash on the Autocross
track after the first dip near the start
We dialed the shocks up and it
was a little better.. time to put some shields
on the headers.. My Buddy Harry wants me to raise
the rear end more

That is a pretty cool read, Bob. Thanks for posting it. What UCA's are you running? Car looks good as always.

Yup yup... Looks like your car is ready for some Secret Sauce!!

I saw a couple of videos from the autocross course and the dips made it looks...well, challenging to say the least. Especially that last right before the right hand sweeper to the finish.

I bet there was some serious shock adjusting going on in the pits trying to get cars through the "terrain" as fast as possible.

of fun and great for the leaning curve.. have a video
of one of my runs but not smart enough to post it

That car looks and sounds great! Ok, so maybe I'm a bit biased, but I don't care...
