Hi guys,
Picking up my 83 T tonight. She is a beauty. One owner, couple bought the car while they were in their 50's, new off the lot. Got some miles on it, 109K but, there is not a ding, dent or scratch on her. Motor is sound, tranmission doesn't slip, just a strong running car. This car rarely saw boost, seems the couple thought "red" was a bad thing. Only weakness is that it handles like a sloth, then again these things weren't meant for the cones. So, my focus will be on the handling improvements first before I move on to the motor. The goal with this will be to make it a high 13 car at this altitude. Why stop there? I already have one beast that will run deep into the 11's and is hard to tame on the streets. I desire a stealth car that still stomps rice and doesn't draw local law enforcement attention like my other car. After-all "this is my adult responsible car". That is my story and I am sticking to it.
Been dream of mine to own one of these cars since they came out. Just living the dream. Look forward to all the advice and fun that will come in the future.
