Hi All- I just picked my Euro up from the Gateway Classic Cars after 3-1/2yrs of storage/display. Back in 08 just before I consigned it, I had put a new Motorcraft battery, new tires and exhaust on it. I was a little worried about it after that long a sit. I connected the battery, put 5 gal of fresh gas in, turned the key.......It turned over immediately and purred all the way back through St. Louis to my home, A/C was cold and the drive was like velvet. Hell, I think I still had .99c gas in it (the 5 gal filled it}. I have to get new plates issued but only need a safety inspection. Just brought back a lot of fond driving memories as I have owned it for 10yrs now. Hope everyone had a great holiday.
Jim

Jim, do Sandy a favor, please. Keep the car ! She told me that she spoiled every possible sale, because she only wants to be with you. Please....don't tell her that I told you.....
