Nice. I still think they are really good looking cars and have held up much better over time than the Cougar with the squared off rear window.

I used to fantastize over this in Red.. with the SC embossed on the bumper back in the day.... we were not allowed to buy american cars. My SC300 was my Thunderbird.

Lovely. It's so funny that these never made more than about 230hp.

I like these and the Lincoln Mark VIII.

I believe I've followed your build thread and you've done a great job with this car.

As someone who drove around 67 HP Civic EF hatch for a long time, in autox and 18sec 1/4 mile, I couldn't fathom the power and fury 230 HP would be...

Having grown up in the 70s and 80s I feel you. When I got a Grand National in the late 90s it felt like insane crazy power that could get you to a 14 second 1/4 mile.

beautiful Jag, son looks excited to help...  Chicago weather has been very mild this year and I have started to see some classics and sports cars out in the wild.

Maybe it's the contrast with the background, but there's something about that SC photo that just POPS.  It's BAT worthy.

Thanks for the compliments. Would love to get the car out to a Radwood show this year but don't see any coming up in my area.

I spent a few hours the other night getting our project Mk7 GTI cleaned up and its amazing how much better it looks after a wash and clay bar. Although with all the pollen in the area right now its already dirty again.
