Hey Mike!

Newsflash…

They’re ALL old cars.

:poke:

LOL! I was thinking that same thing as I was typing it ~ “gee, that doesn’t sound very nice calling it an old car”. But couldn’t figure out an easy way to say “this one used to belong to Scott Behnke” :slight_smile:

By Jove, I think you figured it!

That is a great looking Cougar. I’m sure that Cougar would be a blast to drive.

Mike, you need to re-up your subscription to Readers Digest! How about “formerly owned by” or Scott Behnke’s “former car”. C’mon, work on that vocabulary and toward more picturesque speech!

LOL! Sounds like something you told your kids when they were learning to talk… “use your words Mike”, LOL!

Very sweet ride!

Just noticed that it has been relisted with a $55k buy now.

Must have just lowered it. Was initially posted at $57K.

Is that yellow paint behind the driver’s side door weather stripping? Shouldn’t it have an 8K tach?

Also looks like they added quite a few more pictures to the photobucket link.

I think the yellow you’re seeing is the adhesive for the weather stripping. 3M makes it in yellow and black.
The 8,000 rpm tack is only on the Boss 302 Eliminator.

And a handful of known factory errors.
