I had the least amount of fun an auto mechanic could have trying to do some motor work on one of these.
It did look nice in the shop's bay, though.

Sounds like what my dad used to say about Panteras. He wrenched at Ford dealerships most of his life.

NO! That was a Aussie Ford Falcon.  ;D

Five minutes with a blow dryer wouldn't have helped a TR7. A beautiful car that couldn't make it across a large parking lot without needing major repairs.

I knew a guy here who had a sleeper TR7 - white paint, bone stock looking from the outside, and a Boss 302 stuffed under the hood  ;D.  Straight pipes kinda spoiled the element of surprise, though...

NICE! That yellow Falcon looks great too. Basically a Torino.

Oops, damn - I accidentally hit the BIN button - can I undo it?

That temperature-related backbow, I never ever had that with my Kramer, possibly because of the wood inlays in the neck (or does the Travis Bean have those too?). Or maybe it was mainly gigged in Anchorage and Vladivostok, those Winter Open Airs there are a challenge you know.
