Update to this thread. After giving #525 a super cleaning, it is sold!
If anyone wants to look through that.
I drove 18hr to get a super clean Toreador Red SVT. Single owner car, very well kept. I want to keep this one as a stock unit and preserve it, while #2019 will continue to get modifications slowly over time.
Long awaited, I finally received my build certificate for #2019. (Silver car, black hood, red wheels) Now I need to order one for the red car, which is #2497.
Today I removed and replaced the lower grill mesh on the red car. The orginial one had obviously taken a few hits over the years, or some careless mechanic poked holes in it. Either way this is a very easy job if you remove the bumper. I didn’t do it the easy way.
But it is done! and is another nice touch on making this car that much closer to pristine. I also found a set of spark plug loom holders I had saved from my part out of the black car, it really cleans up the engine bay.
Yes, life is good for Red car.
Likely one of the last times I’ll take #525 out for any kind of a photoshoot, in theory, it’s new owner will be here December!
