Then Tuesday the 3rd of Feb comes along and I'm sucked smack dab into the vortex of a find.... Ladies and Gents the 1 of 8 missing """Turbo Macho TA""" has been confirmed as found... I will post pic's in the next day or so,, but he car has been confirmed by Vin# and is in fact the missing Turbo car.... I'll post details and pic's over the next few days.......

#202 is nearing the completion of the restoration process. We are hopeful to have it done by spring and anticipate showing it next year at MCACN 2015 in Chicago.
