@scifi Sure, paid approx the equivalent of 14.000 USD (in Sweden), it had about 110.000 km (ca 70.000 miles) on the odometer. Car was originally sold in Canada, so it conveniently has the km per h/ km units. Aftermarket Shelby wheels, although a bit too big for my taste at 20". Will be looking at 18" Bullitt style wheels, in a staggered setup. Anyway, a pretty fun car - with a backseat! 20230214_114306

I picked up a Cleveland companion for the Pantera on the weekend. 1970 Mach 1 351 4v FMX auto. Rare color combo 20241109_17433320241109_123558of Bright Gold with White interior. It came with the original engine and trans. Of course that's not what's in the car. A stroked 381 with a Don Hampton 6-71 blower attached to a TCI prepped C6. I will be pulling and selling the current driveline and returning the car to more stock.

1970 Mach 1 Mustang - Current state.  Rebuilt engine is currently in the Pantera while the Pantera engine was being rebuilt.  Gotta swap them soon so I get the original numbers-matching engine back into the Pantera. I have a ton of NOS parts to rebuild the Mach 1

70 Mach1_2 - Copy [2)

Modena CalSpyder - Factory built California Spyder replica (same cars used in Ferris Bueller's Day Off) built in 1991. It's a very high quality replica built on a custom tube chassis. These things have become collectible in their own right. They are very well engineered cars with a rigid multi tube spaceframe chassis designed by Indy car designer Bob Webb. And the GRP bodywork is strengthened by a steel cowl brace and steel door inners. They are not copies of a Ferrari California Spyder - not a single mold was taken off of a Ferrari. The Modena CalSpyder is an original design with styling influences and inspiration from period Ferrari, Maserati, and Alfa spyders.

Mine is currently a disassembled shell.  I think the nose is too long - they match the Ferrari LWB wheelbase spec, but have the styling elements of the SWB California Spyders.  I'm planning to shorten the wheelbase to match the SWB wheelbase dimensions, and modify the body to make the car a more correct looking replica. Power will come from a 5 liter (4,996 cc's to be precise) Toyota 1GZ-FE v12.

2002 Toyota Tacoma - Nothing special, but a great little workhorse. Just wish it had more power!

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee - Daily driver. Very impressed with the power and performance.

2019 Mazda CX5 - Surprisingly capable in the snow!  One of the best AWD systems on the market - beat Subaru in a side by side test on snow and ice in different situations.
