    I recognize that car from some photos of it being out in front of some porches and 'vettes....
    Heck it was on the old 302Fairmont board years ago, nice to see it up and running hard.

    Lovin it. Looks like he did some mods to his interior just like Stormin'!!
    I may have written about this story already, so forgive me if I did, but I am well into my 50's so I have an excuse!! Years ago, I used to go off roading alot in the Pine Barrens down around exit 74 off the Garden State Parkway. I'd use the Bronco II demos I got from the dealership I worked at on Staten Island and there'd always be tons of my friends out there every time I'd go. Well, one Saturday, my demo got sold, but I had promised a fellow off roader and her two year old son I'd take them into the woods that Sunday. So, I grabbed a Crown Vic wagon from our rental fleet and took that. What a hoot. We went to this place called Hidden Lakes where all these monster trucks hung out and went up and down these 60-75 foot sand cliffs. I decided to do the same with the Crown Vic and sure enough, I made it up and down those same cliffs in my rwd long roof. Needless to say, those guys with their monster trucks were a bit peeved I was able to do the same thing they were with a factory stock wagon!!
