After 14 years,,,,,,

[SNKEBIT]

I finally parted ways with the "Baddest Gen. 1 On The Planet" Kind of sad, been part of the family for 14 years...........

Sold it to my cousin, so it's kinda still in the family!!!

Upgraded to an 08 ACR I got a smokin' deal on. Had some damage but after it came out of my shop it is flawless. Of course it had to have green on it so I did the opposite of the Gen 1. Sublime pearl stripes over black with a hint of green pearl in it. Has to be in bright sun to see the pearls.

Would love to know more about the Gen 1, When was it converted into a Coupe? Looks like a great job, did you do it? Bet there was a lot of work involved in that!

I did it about 8 years ago. Actually was pretty straight forward. Just basically unbolt and bolt back on with some strategic places for bonding adhesive. I really like that car. Real head turner.

Did you change the interior? Would love to see more pics...

Oh, and congratulations on the new Toy

Siamesed the dash with a gen 2 so I could keep the glove box. Window switch goes where the ashtray went. Gen 1 seats. Custom rollbar.

Gen 1 fuel tank. Even rigged up a switching relay to use the original key fob to lock the doors.

Congrats Mitch!!! I will always love the GTX, but you will love the ACR. You did a great job converting it, so much so most cannot tell it was a Gen 1.

Congrats! Your G1 conversion was truly unique.. Over the years I've seen a few G3 conversions but never a G1 except yours

Enjoy that ACR

I'd take a "beater" like that any day!

Way cool buddy!
Can't wait to see the ACR.... and I'm assuming we'll still get to see the old beast once and a while too.

I think so. I told him to join the club and hang out with all the loosers.
