Nope, He sold that to Samir (guy down here in houston) so you might see it rolling around here



Ryan: I have met him once briefly at the 1431 parmer car show in Austin and some other meets...

was supposed to go to his current home to meet Steve Rupp when he was picking up his 69 camaro when it was drop shipped at SW's house from North Carolina. But that was the weekend I went to Georgia so I had to put it off till another time.

this was the car Steven had purchased

Bronco, its a nice car, tastefully done, but still, nothing too out of the ordinary.
I'd love to have it, and would build a car very similar, as I dont like a ton of gawdy crap...
Interior is tasteful for sure, but what, some gauges, vintage air controls, some billet and thats about it.

the Mule is simply amazing. Pictures do nothing for the car, thats forsure.

Here's the deal. I have heard the guy is the Prince of Bangladesh or Shri Lanka. If so, I found it kind of odd that these are 2 of the poorest countries on earth, yet the Prince is living large in Texas, USA! Classy!

Steve's isnt a 69 and I don't *think* its quite that big a big block. Of course with a 3 speed and a dominator it does get like 7mpg. In fact I think he said you could rev it up and see the gas gauge needle moving! His 68 is getting an LS6/T56 I think, plus a few new suspension pieces. I love those Forgelines.
