It's been 7 years since I had a street car toy and I've really gotten the bug again the past year or so. I had some kind of hot rod, mostly foxbody Mustangs with a few 68-72 Novas sprinkled in there, from 1997-2010, then I quit cold turkey and focused on trikes. My love for trikes has really taken a hit the last couple years and if it weren't for the sentimental attachment I have for my 250r, I honestly wouldn't even own a trike right now, or possibly ever again. But, my love for cars has never really diminished, only the depths of my pockets trying to support two habits like cars and trikes.
The last few months I've been on the hunt for a rust free Fox, preferably a notch, but a hatchback would be just fine. My first 5.0 was a 86 notchback 5.0 5spd, so I've always had a soft spot for the 79-86 cars. I've owned a 83 GLX convertible, and a 80 Hatch also along the way. Actually 6 of them ranging from 80-93.
So I located a rust free 83 GT in Denver. My 10 year old daughter and I are planning a daddy daughter road trip driving out there tomorrow to bring it home.
It's a project but the price was right and most importantly, rust free, which is unheard of around here. A rust free foxbody any year is very hard to find these days in STL.
I'll be sure to update this thread as it progresses.
