Ok, so I wasted my Supercharger money once again with this ebay auction. (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=4527906104)

Now I need a way to ship this car to Shreveport, LA. Any help with a quality shipping company would be greatly appreciated.

It will go well with my 68 GT/CS Mustang, but I have offically met my car limit. :help:

I use an outfit called TNT. They have always done right by me. There number is (866) 566-5227 ext. 2542.

Let us know how you make out and congrats on the new car!

Fedex custom critical, yes I know sounds $$, but they have open and close top options and they were reasonable. I have also used Pegasus Transport and they were the low price leader. But did a fine job by me.

Good luck with the shipping!

Get her home and keep her safe!

Nice boost.... keep stealing nice cars like that and they'll put you in Gone in 60 Seconds III.

Chambersburg is right off I-81... you could come up for spring Carlisle (awesome swap meet... you'll walk for days) and drive it home!

Those GT350 cars are really cool foxes... several years ago I put a strut tower brace and sub frames in mine... huge difference in the ragtops... JBA was the only company I found that made a strut tower brace that would fit around that dual-snorkel air filter.

Have fun! Keep the top dropped and practice the phrase, "I didn't buy it because the roof goes up".

I don't consider that a waste at all.
In fact Michelle and I were just discussing what to do with our 93 lx hatch.
I think a turbo 4 with alot of handling goodies is the general direction...
after my 68 Fastback is done that is.

FiveO that is one clean GT.

I'm really happy with the price and I think these are only going to go up in value in the future. It's going to have a very easy life from here on out, no rain or snow. My wife had an 84 convertible and is excited about it. The Mustang is really going to be her ride. Only time will tell how much she'll actually drive it.

I can't wait to get it and give it a good detail. I also need to start looking for some factory original wheels.:)

What is the best city to fly into to pick up the car if I wanted to?

That is a nice car. I almost bought an '84 GT Coupe with T-Tops once with same color scheme - white with the red striping (Anniversery) and red interior.

I would love to find a clean, 1986 GT Coupe with a 5-speed. I like that body style better than the others, or something like a 1993 LX notchback 5-speed. But the '86 would be my first choice.

Again, nice car you got there.

I've never been happier since I bought my '93 notch. It is sooo much fun and I fit in it perfect (unusual since I'm 6'4"). I made myself a promise already that I will ALWAYS have a fox body Stang in my driveway no matter what. They're cheap enough to buy, fix, and mod... plus they're plenty of fun.
