Will it ever look this good again? I believe it will.

To those who wanted shots of the best car at the convention--the Old '89 is on the left. The car on the right is its twin, better known as the New '89 because it only has 10,000 original miles. No typo there--10,000 original miles.

One of the original four "Ninja Turtle" race-prepped SHOs for the Firestone Firehawk Endurance Series. This piece of SHO history was found a few years ago and restored to its original racing livery. And yes, it did laps at the track event.

Approximately 100 cars at the convention car show.

They might be big, but the new "EcoSHOs" are surprisingly capable at the track despite the smallish brakes.

A very nice SHO V-8 swap into an early-2000s Taurus. It even had a manual transmission bolted to it. That's a sleeper I'd like to play with.

Remember when engines weren't covered in plastic? I do.
