Thanks. That's an old picture, and when we repainted it, I removed the body colored moldings so that the sides were cleaner looking and looked more like the 2005-2006 cars. As for the wheels, those are the wheels that came with the car new I think they call them double nickels. It is a beautiful car to look at, but in no way is the ride comprable to that of the x 150. It Jiggles like a bowl of Jell-O and that drives me a little nuts.

You know damn well what he thought.......

Went to take mine to work this AM and it said "Nope". Doors stayed shut and the window didn't drop a bit. Old girl's frozen solid.

Took the '71 F-350 instead...

110Reef,
During the restoration, we changed all 4 springs, shocks, bushings, etc. And it's still as jiggly as ever, maybe even a bit more as the new front springs raised the front end about an inch or more. I've just gotten so used to the solidness of my 2010 XKR that in comparison the 2002 'vert just can't compete.
