this car was owned by a family member for 32 yrs.I had been trying to buy the car from him since he got the car.Finally he agreed to sell it to me Christmas day 05.The car was in great shape overall 81k org miles.It had been well taken care of by the same shop over all of the years.However it was driven very little from 1990 forward.This is the pic of what it looked like when i pulled it from the garage..tags on lic 1995 last reg year.I have lurked here for sometime and have enjoyed some of great work many of the members are doing to bring their old cars back to life. jim

the deal done.I had no idea at this point how much i would really enjoy driving this car..yes the car still has the mfi and engine updates.It took a bit of work to get it fired back up as usual but no surprises...i have put 10k miles on it since.

one more final pic...i know you guys/gals love pics...and just for the record the oil pan under the TR is from a jeep cherokee that had a little
leak...i have owned the TR for many years and restored in 1985.I repeat the TR does not leak oil..I swear...
