I'm fifty nine. Compared to the other cars I own, this may be the most normal, mundane, and practical. The others include:
'80 Rabbit pickup 1.8 16V and GTI interior
'87 Scirocco 16V very nicely restored
'67 Ford Cortina GT Nicely Restored
'68 Ford Cortina, Jay Ivey built motor Lots of autocrosses and track days
1984 Vanagon Westfalia full camper, 2 each, one in Maine, one in So Cal
1965 Lotus Super Seven Cosworth 1500. 100 horsepower, and under 1060 lb on the road. An SVT weighs nearly 3 times as much.
Its getting harder and harder to get parts for the Cortinas, so I had to buy the SVT to drive until I can get the brakes completely sorted on the Cortinas.
My SVT is bone stock, except for a trailer hitch I put on it, and its in excellent rust free condition. I don't intend to make any modifications to it, except maybe a tune. If and when it needs shocks, I'll probably upgrade there.
