Not another one from BA...

Hello everyone, just wanted to introduce myself. As the title says I live in Broken Arrow and have lived here for many years. I am a long time Ford fanatic and have owned many Mustangs and a couple of Lightnings (1st and 2nd generation) in my days. I particularly have a fondness for the fox bodied coupes, beautiful cars in my opinion. I currently own a 1993 Mustang LX (hatch), reef blue in color and 2002 Lightning in red. My son has inherited my love for Fords as well. He is 18yrs old and currently is driving his first car an 1989 LX. I'll post up a few pictures for you guys.

Anyways, I am looking forward to attending some of the events this year that are scheduled and hope to meet some of you there.

Welcome! Beautiful Fox! Can't wait to see it in person. Nice looking lightning too

Welcome! Nice Rides!! Maybe I'll see you around the neighborhood!!!

Very nice rides. Love the fox bodies myself, owned 2 of them. The lightening is on my list of must haves in the garage someday.

Cant wait to see these rides in person. Welcome to BMMC

Harley rims on a lightning, definetly havent seen that one around. Welcome, i love lightnings also :)

Awesome rides! Very awesome! Welcome to our place of car worship.

Welcome...

Welcome to BMMC.. & where abouts do you live in BA? Also love the lightning, next car on the list for me for sure & liking the rims too.

I think I've seen that stang some where ... hmm let me check ...
Ah there it is ...

Ahhhh. Yes I remember that car! Nice mods and as I recall you got a stellar deal on it!

Welcome Justice that's a nice pair to draw to. Hope to see you at some of the events

Looks like Mike is bucking for a promotion over that one guy.... Jarrod? For recruiter.

Thanks for the compliments guys. You would be surprised how long you have to search for a quality foxbody these days. Not to mention the distance you have to travel to get it. I scored this one about a year and half ago, drove all the way to Memphis to look at it. As David said I ended up getting it for a song and a dance. Someone sunk a small fortune in parts in the car but never finished it.

I took the car straight to Archangel and had them work the bugs out in it. They eventually got the car running like a top only to get it home and have the transmission go out in it in under 20 miles. Back to Archangel it went, out comes the aod, in goes the tremec. Hopefully it will be done this week and I will be back on the road with it.

Matt, I am in the area of 71st & Elm.

That sucks about the transmission. But probably a blessing in disguise. You'll have a lot more fun driving a manual trans, and the Tremec is a great choice. We just put a Tremec 3550 TKO in my sons fox body.

Ugh...this thread is making me want my '85 back

I thought I had seen you pulling out of the neighborhood off of 71 and elm a fewtimes in the lightning. I am at 111th and elm, so spend a lot of time running up and down elm.

Jerry - I'm not far from ya. I'm at 131 and elm

Welcome!

That car needs to live again. Do you still know where it is at?

In a field stripped to the bone and non-revivable. One of my so called fraternity brothers gave me partial payment for the car so I kept the title. Kept telling me he would get me the rest of the money. Come to find that he put it on Ebay to sell it without it being his car...we cought it and shut him down. He said he was going to use the money and pay me off and pocket the rest..... riiiggghhhttt. Gave him just a little longer to give us the money (should NOT have given him any more time!) Car ended up being stripped of everything, sold piece by piece and dumped in a field in Broken Arrow.

Welcome to the sight. Lightning and a fox body... saweet!
