I figure since I've never really made an official build thread for my cars I'll create one here to get the ball rolling and use it as a springboard to freestyle ideas for the fleet.
As of today this is the current status of the fleet, mileage, ownership age and plans for each one:
1. My 1990 Infiniti Q45 aka Snowbird. Currently at 90,578 miles, owned since Feb of 2022. As it sits it is my current daily. In need of a new transmission (2nd/4th no longer exist) and an AC Recharge. Other then that its been a fantastic daily driver making all the correct V8 noises.
2. My 1992 Infiniti Q45. Currently at 37,912 miles, owned since May of 2023. Been slowly chipping away at it, restoring it as nice as I can on a budget. Hood needs a respray and interior needs redye due to sun fade. Have it tentatively up for sale/trade, with B13Birk having first dibs (otherwise open to just about anything that peaks my interest, if anyone is interested you can reach me through the contact button) before I deep dive into the restoration. If its finished, I'll more then likely be auctioning it off.
3. My 1984 Ford Mustang GT Turbo (swapped to 302). Odometer states 29k miles (Ha), Owned since March of 2023. Currently the long term project of the fleet, once I get the distributor timed correctly and running nice the gameplan is to just enjoy it for a bit while I start ordering parts to build it towards a entry level rally car/street car. Not worth spending the funds trying to get it back to factory spec in my eyes. Also for sale/trade if something neat slid into my email inbox.
4. My 1997 Ford Probe GT. Currently at 130k ish miles. Owned since June of 2023. Waiting for it to be brought down from PA to FL, planning on having this one as a simple autocross/GRM Challenge/street car. Going to go through it to sort the small issues it has and do the classic Probetalk mods (MAF conversion, bolt ons, etc). Its a quirky car and it was cheap so why not? Been a while since I've gotten to enjoy an old fashioned FWD car.
That about sums it up, always free to answer questions!

Kinda cool that you have a fox body Mustang and the car that was supposed to replace it.
I've said it more than once: I love the 2nd-gen Probe GTs.

So much that you'd have another?
