I love that 87 Mustang Coupe!What Happened to your 87 Vic to make you give it up?

[mrltd]

The 87 vic was a POS unfortunately. The frame was bent really bad and the bodywork wasn't too great. (Votech shop) They replaced the whole passenger side (without any frame work), and the frame was bent in every way possible. After 4 years, 3 transmissions, and a ton of rust, I let the vic go. (sit in my parents back yard) It got parted out and I still have the drivetrain out of it. The wagon has the rear axle out of it and the fuel pump (which was also in the 87 coupe)

The 87 mustang was totalled by a deer (got 1300 from the insurance co), and I repaired it for basically free (never painted it though). Then I had motor issues, So I tossed in a 82 5.0 GT motor and sold it for $1500 after parting all the good stuff out of it.

I totalled the 81 coupe (tree @80mph) I'll post some more pics of that....Also totalled the 89, which sucked. That car was in the best shape of all my panthers. Lowest milage also.

I really like the 89 crown vic was that a p72? Hey mike how did you get rid of the 91 grandmarquis again?

[zwack88]

Cool man. I wondered what the infamous 87 looked like. I couldn't see it too well in the vids of it. I love your old stangs too, especally that 81.

[mrltd]

I traded the 91 in on the mazda...got 1K for it. Only had 500 bucks in it after 2 years

Nice collection of Panthers & horses you have, Mine was only Panthers after I lost my 1979 Oldsmobile Ninentyeight.


ATT,SNIPER 308. PROUD OWNER OF ??????????

The 89 wasn't a cop car, just a base model vic.

Here's the 81 after taking a turn at 85, doing a 360 in the air and hitting a tree, and spinning 180 in the opposite direction. The picture was taken after the frame was pulled back towards the driver side to begin drivetrain removal. So it was way worse....

I don't have the pic of the subframe mount blown into pieces from the impact and being rotted out. If I hit the tree a foot back, the car would have split in half, and I would be dead.

Also notice in the background....2 79 lincoln Versailles, an 82 GT, and a 68 F100 (that had a 429 in it), and another 81 coupe...I've had 14 stangs....

[88Vic]

Great looking cars you've had. Were you hurt bad after wrecking the 81 Stang?

[mrltd]

Not even a scratch. No seatbelt and the passenger window exploded on impact with a mailbox. Gotta be some reason I'm here, god know's I've tried killing myself....

[gabegt90]

dam mike that's a lot of cars.
