Default I'm back

It's been years, and I have been through several other cars. Challenger SRT, 02 Viper, Ram SRT10, Mini Cooper (yea really). Just picked up a 95 Admiral Blue coupe this morning.
Looking to do the usual, A-molds, exhaust, maybe LT4 hotcam in the future.

Beautiful. Love Admiralty Blue!

Your adventures away from CF sound somewhat similar to mine ... I was gone from CF for several years and owned a couple 392 Hemi Challenger Scat Packs in the interim before selling them and getting back into a C4 (in my case a Torch Red 94).

So welcome back and enjoy your new ride!

Thanks all!
I finally got the garage together and got all the cars in. The car is clean and only needs a few small parts. 60k miles on it.

Mine is a West Coast Cobra. Longer and wider than all the others. It’s powered by a built 509 Chevy. Currently swapping the carb to a Holley Sniper EFI.
