Finally rolled over 50K coming back from C&C Houston a couple weeks back. Not bad considering I've owned her since new in 95'.

Looks new to me. I wish I had 50k. I have 80k now I put 30k miles in 6 years of owning it.

Any cracks on the dash?

The dash pad was replaced (upper) a couple years back since the stocker had one crack near the defrost vent. Other than that she's a blast and plan on keeping her for a long time!!!!

I know - I know!!!

Wife has me on lock down for now, and might be able to do it late next year. We'll see.

Those AFR 190's are a little out dated and it would give me the opportunity to bump the comp up a well.

Thanks guys, she was put out of daily comission back in 2000 when I graduated college and only see's about 100-200 miles a year now. Motor is strong but with this LE custom cam she could be much stronger with a better flowing set of heads - Neil is right. Not sure when I'm gonna pull the trigger as my wife will freak when I wanna spend the money.
