I just really couldn''t afford to driver her anymore and I didn''t want her to just sit. Had some small debts I wanted to get rid of too. But I pretty much did everything I wanted to w/ that car anyway. Loved it to death. Repainted and restored, won Hottest Mutsu @ HIN:Nightshift in Chicago, and was a featured ride in Japanese Nostalgic Car. The new owner had one of these before, and appreciates its history, so she''s in very good hands today!
In a couple years I''ll prolly get an older "flatty" Conquest/Starion and go a little more ''mod'' on it than I did w/ this one.

Sorry to hear...beauty of a car though! What kind of gas mileage did that thing get? Besides your 05 sport took over! Good trade-off IMO!!!

Sure send them to me...If you lack technical skills you should try this program called picasa. It automatically finds all the pics on your entire computer and you can downsize the pics and upload to picasa web album and it''''''''s really easy. If you need any other help let me know!
btw you have a photobucket why not use that? All you have to do is upload the pics onto their and than use the insert link key that has the earth and paper clip looking thing and it will put the pic into your post. Like I said though if you need help let me know!

Yoikes! where to start...
2nd car I ever owned my Dad picked up from a guy down on his luck in a bar. ''''68 Torino GT for $375. Great going straight but didn''''t corner too well as I remeber as a 17 year old.
A little later and just for fun, I picked up a ''''67 MG Midget. Probably towed it more often than drove it but it was a lot of summer fun knowing that the top half of your head is exposed to all sorts of flying objects at hi-way speed.
There was a Pinto wagon in there...not cool...unless you were using it for impromtu camping trips but definietly memorable.
Don''''t laugh but my ''''78 Chevy Malibu was a hoot. One of the very few factory 350 4-speeds. I remember getting stopped one nite with the question "Do you realize how fast you were going?" and responding "no, not really...it red lines at 160!" Judge didn''''t think I was funny either.
My last and most favourite just left us last weekend. ''''84 El Camino with a mid sixties built 327 in it. I''''ve had it for 10 years. Started as a one owner northwest US 6 cylinder car and ended up a one of a kind 327 5th generation Elky that cost a LOT of money over the years. I will still get to see it a bunch as a neighbour bought it with an offer I couldn''''t refuse.
I guess we couldn''''t keep them all but wish I knew then what I know now as it would be nice to have some of thenm around. Of course, if we didn''''t sell ''''em, we couldn''''t get the next one.
Now I''''m an old guy (50ish) and have my ''''02 X-Type 3.0 Sport, auto, mesh grills, clear side markers, R badging including shift kob and Enkie J-10 wheels. Oops! I forgot. Switched out my leaper for a 3.0 Sport bonnett badge. Very sleek, now. Get lots of cool comments in the summer and a whole lot of AWD envy in the winter. Still thinking an XKR Coupe could be mine someday... But, then I would have the maintainence costs of two non-warranty used Jags and everyone would think I was loaded and want to borrow money!
