[Shotimes] RE: My '91 SHO is for sale

[Ron Porter]

But, does it have that all-important "dick break" option like the recent
Ebay SHO????  ;-)

Pics attached, as promised.  It should be under, or just about at, the
200k limit for V8sho.

A few other things I forgot to mention:

The car will come with silver slicers and Continental all season
tires, with about 5k miles on them.

I also have a black gauge pod, and a Wolf brand front end bra that
will be included.

In the pics, which were taken two months ago, the car has a custom
grille on it that I got from Fred Hurder.  IIRC, it was made by Joseph
Van Oss (VO, if you're on the TechSHO list, can you confirm?).  The
car will come with this grille, as well as the stock grille.  I use
the stock grille during the winter months, to cut down on the salt and
sand in the engine bay.

I'll be taking pics of the interior this weekend, as it's too dark out
when I get home from work to do it.

Also, if anyone has a pic request of the car, please let me know and
I'll take that on the weekend as well.
