Not much to say..

Pretty much a stock build.
302 carb, f-cam, GT40-P heads, Street avenger 670 3:27 gears.

Car was delivered on Sept 11, 2000 on the road fully finished January 15, 2001.

Gone through 3 sets of rear tires and 1 set of fronts. Just a fun toy not a show car or trailer queen.

Pretty cool! It just goes to show there are all different subsets of owners of roadsters. Have you been pretty much trouble free with this build? It sounds like it but just checking. See you later. WEK.

The only problem I have had with the car is a structual failure of the alternator. It split horizontally after losing a fan blade.

I just get in and drive. No muss no fuss.

I just love being able to just jump in and drive.

Mike,
I am only on bad lists. I think I would like to be on a good one like the AZ Cobras so I will drop you a PM. Thanks, WEK.

Congrats on making the 60,000 mileage! Sounds like your having fun, which in my opinion, is what owning these cars is all about:)

I think you still may have trouble matching Ralph Button's numbers. You'll have to step it up from the 6,000 mile per year average, to about 30,000 per year.:D

Is it just my imagination, or does it seem that the budget built cars, get driven far more than the fancy smancy, big money builds..;) Lol..just like to stir things up..:p

There is no way anybody will catch Ralph.

Congratulations Mike! Hopefully I'll get mine done before too much longer, and get to cruise with the AZ group.
