You didnt list all the cars your storing for eladio. That looks better on the trailer then it did in my driveway. My house looks naked without a single car out front now. But there are 2 more x,s waiting to come home.

mark,
my brother bought an X19 Beratone. didn't run. so it went into my garage back in reno. when it came out it had a ford sho taurus engine in it. subframe and all. had to remove that divider for the trunk, but didn't need it anyways. man and not a photo so show for it. but it looked awesome. electrial was never completed so couldn't start it. but i woulda loved to finish it. its in reno somewhere. that was like 5 years ago.

Nice looking '79. I presume the interior and side glass was riding in the Suburban or the bed of the 3500 Crew Cab...

Short of bright green, yellow is always the best color for an X (for me anyway).

Congrats on the purchase, everyone should have at least one X.

I agree, yellow is the color for an X. Door glass is non-existant. I'm contemplating what to do with it; make a lightweight pocket-rocket maybe?
A SHO in an X? holy moly, that would be a ride!

Keep it up and you'll be just like me! Your list of cars looks very familiar. So, what made you want to buy an X?

I've had several X's in the past, they come and they go :D. I had an 85 I drove daily for a couple of years, sold it, bought it back, sold it again as a parts car to Ed Decarbo.
With several X performance products in the pipeline it will be handy to have one available all of the time.
And it's like playing with a full house these days. I have a 600, 850, X and 124 Spiders. Now I need a 131 I suppose and another coupe since I just sold the 73
