Just putting a feeler out there to see if I can't locate Shelby Lancer #79. This car used to belong to a friend of mine and he was curious as to where it is now. When he sold it about four years ago, it went to Michigan and changed owners several more times before I lost track of it. Let me know if you have any info! Thanks!
I have a pic in my archive, not sure how old that was? the pic has pink post-its all over the windows?
moved to 'whittier' section

Hmm, that picture definitely would have been after Denny had it -- he'd never put post-its all over his cars lol. I have some pictures from when he owned it that I can post up later on.
:BUMP:
Hey I used to own that car, actually had it from 2001-2007 until I sold it for scrap price to a guy on the boards to keep it from being cut up and parted out.
I don't think the guy let the car get off the dolly before he went to town on it with a sawsall, very frustrating since I hung onto that thing forever trying to give it away so it wouldn't be chopped up.
I purchased it from Carl Topais in New York.
Are you sure about the car number here Jason? Reason I ask is because our friend had it for sale locally here around the time I graduated high school (2003) as I sat it in and everything and was | | that close to buying it myself. I do not feel it'd have been cut up because it was in VERY nice condition despite some paint fade on the roof and hood last I remember.
Oops brain fart,
mine was #97
HAHA I was going to say, if it got chopped up it'd be a sin!
This one was a 5 spd cloth car and had ICE COLD AC, it was unbearably cold. Working DEX too.
LOL, thats my car as of a year ago, you should know that Pat.
It was Stephans (turboshelbys), then some guy one the west side of MI, I got it, made it fast again, and Stephan bought it back from me. Hes doing a full resto on it. I can only do one, and the GTC is my baby.
Heres some pics when I had her. Shes easily one of the better ones left, all Shelby items (it has a 555, s60, and the engine has been rebuilt, 3" full exhaust, Gary D computer, ect). Needed paint and shocks, and hes already done the shocks/struts.
Oh and JT - that post it note picture was when girls ambushed me in parking lot
I thought it was yours but for some reason I thought you had sold it lol. Denny (the former owner that I know that did the engine and all back in the day) was asking me about it two weeks ago when I stopped by to visit. Good to hear it's still out and about! Any progress pictures of the restoration?
Just of the Suspension / brake tweaks:
When it gets warm, I might hook up with him to check out the repainted GLHS and whats up with lil SL79. Tell Denny shes in good hands. That car was the "H" in my SN. Now I'm just J
How'd they get the compressor that clean? Paint?
Nice SL!
Mostly just glare. My camera wasn't as hot back then as the one I have now. That was almost daily driven (had to take advantage of the little michigan summerOriginally Posted by neonsox
) at that time, so it wasn't even all that clean in a couple of those pics. I took the centercaps off when I was driving it.
Don't make me sad. I miss the GTS you can see in the reflection of it as well. Stephan is the best possible person I could have hoped to sell it to, however, and I'm sure the car will only live a better life as time goes on.
I recall the story now!

I am the only who bought the car from Denny yrs back. Its in the midst of a full resto right now coming along just fine. I should have it back on the road this spring. I will list the mods and some pics shortly. If it comes out half as nice as my glhs did I'll be very happy.
i dont think ive met ya personally, but can say ive noticed throughout the years all your cars were usually #d vehicles and very clean!! that 88 CSXT u had was mint, i would have really loved to pick that car up...
