totally original (except for the filters), never repainted the intake, . 36k miles.

Did I say how much I love this car? Just got back from a club drive yesterday up golden gate canyon to peak to peak highway. We had three people in the car (wife, daughter, and I), a full tank of gas and had no problem hanging with the front group consisting of a Ford GT and two '06 GT3s. Got it home, opened up the hood and the motor looked just the same.

My car sees no more than 2,500 miles per year (insurance limitation), but it is driven - now with approx 84K miles.

The old adage about being "easier to KEEP one clean than to GET one clean" certainly applies. With the exception of the intake and cam cover respray, the engine bay looks the same as when I bought it back in 2006. The only areas I have done extensive cleaning on are the wheel wells and underside. Not driving in the rain keeps these areas clean.

See you in Dallas (hope it doesn't rain)

New pics taken today, don't mind the date on the camera. Added Nology wires and a little more detailing since my last pics.

That's a beautiful drive - I was just up that way doing some work in Broomfield a few months ago and the guy I was training and I did that in the Dodge Charger rental car. (What an embarrassing amount of understeer for a rear-wheel drive car, btw!) I think we did it backwards though, from Boulder to Golden, with a nice dinner at the restaurant that had Killians for $1.50, then a nice straight shot up the highway back to Louisville and the hotel. I'd love to do that run in a car that will actually corner!

Thank ya! It's Duplicolor High Temperature Cast Coat Iron for the dark and Cast Coat Aluminum for the light. I have a thing for two tones and more natural colors. Not that you'd know by looking at my wife's chrome and blue monster in her Mustang.

Stock but always towel whiped under hood door jams etc after almost every ride.
Not detailed just the way I kept it since I owned from 1994
Was a local car too,ask the guy who owned it to let me know when he sold it
so know who owned it since new.

87s4 68,000 auto
Bought in 1994 from original owner
Will sell someday if the price is right and I find another car I like better
