Well boys and girls, I am the new proud owner of the latest SVT sold on eBay.



I go out to Indy on Friday and drive back. Nice 700 mile cruise to get the feel of her. Then the tune up, detailing and water pump. Mods will wait till I replenish the checking account. LOL..

Now I need a sig..lol..

I'm in Jersey City. I work in Metro Park, so I get to drive the lady on a nice commute against the flow of rush hour every day. Should be nice. Now I just need to add her to my policy and go pick it up this weekend.. Too bad the site is going down for a while. I've got a million questions, but I guess they can wait 3 or 4 weeks..

By the way, any SVT owners in Jersey City, Bayonne or Hoboken (or immediately around there) who would wanna give the car a lookover in the next couple of weeks and give some advice? Beer on me afterwards.

I'm down, JC is only 20 minutes from my house and I drive into the city everyday, via the Lincoln Tunnel. Set a date here, or even better, use the local mailing list to set up a mini-meet or just a get togethere.

forgive me, but isn't that a 98 E0, not an E1? either way, looks VERY clean. Is this the one from Kruse? Enjoy your trip to Indy, unfortunately i will be too far north, but any other time I'd love to meet you and check out the car.

You're right, it is an E0, but, the best way to check would be for some of the interior touches, you know, clock, different handle on the glove box, the underhood fuse box is also a little different...the little, subtle, decontented items.

This sig ROCKS! eek laugh

Actually, it is an E1. I did a VIN lookup and it was an E1 with EO rims. Maybe a transition piece? I'll know for sure when I pick it up. And it is the one from Kruse.
