I miss a row and have no idea how that happens.

[muscle_collector]

when i was 15 years old i used to put groceries in this 69 ta. they knew it was a super rare car and as soon as i turned 16. i started driving my new 76 black ta and they tried to get me to trade them even for it. no way was i doing that and a few years later the car ended up on a little car lot in north tulsa. i tried to buy it but was about 250 apart and then it disappeared which it found its way to marty in north carolina. had another chance to buy it later when matt (auwrestling on here) called me and said i could get it for 150k. another stupid mistake by passing on it. it was always a numbers matching really nice original car with all the ram air on it when it left here.

also anyone know what page on this thread the pictures are posted?
