Owns a flamed black coupe in Tomball?
I was talking to a coworker who lives in Magnolia, (he drives a SLOW black 86 fireturd with silver stripes) about how I was thinking about taking my income tax return and a little cash and buying a drivable, streetable coupe and he starts talking about stroking his rod at the Midas Muffler shop on 2920 where he saw a 87-93 black coupe with flames for $6500 obo. A little high for what I want, but just curious, anyone know him? If so, what does it have (drivetrain, mods) and is it worth it? He's tired of his turd getting beat by stock fox bodies and is ready to come to the light. Hell he took the 305, bored it 30 threw in a set of forged flattops, a .480/220 dur cam, had the crappy assed heads reworked with screw in studs and a little port work, roller rockers,a set of 3.42 gears, 2500 stall convertor, and it still runs 14.90s. At the time I had a 11.5-1 406 shortblock sitting at my buddies shop in fort worth that someone never paid me for, I'd a let it go for 2500 to him, sold it later for 3500 so things turned out ok.

I don't know of a Midas on 2920 but I know of a Meineke. Close to the rail road tracks in Tomball. I haven't seen a coupe with flames over there but there is a pretty rough look 87-93 convertible GT over therre a lot.

I don't know of this coupe or its owner. But, I did see a black coupe on draglites with a for sale sign in the back window last night at 2920 and 2978. It was too dark to see if it had flames or not. Only reason I really noticed the car was it had been pulled over by not one, but FOUR of Tomballs finest :eek: . I dunno what it was all about. But, as I was driving by, the cops were leaving and letting the driver be on his way.

Sounds like Shannon. He had a purple fox body and a F150 with lightning treatment.

I've been seeing it at starbucks on Friday nights.

Thanks for the replies, and yeah it was a Meineke (sp) I just throw all the franchises together sometimes. I have yet to see it, but am gonna try and hunt it down this week, at least to look. I'm not far out of Tomball myself, 249 and Spring Cypress.
If anyone does come across him, please try and get a # and pm it to me, I'm gonna be looking real hard for either a nice coupe that I can build on, or a good Pickup in the next coupla weeks.
I'm tired of ol Ray "the gas man" Giving me a ration of crap about rice, (I'm stuck in a frigging Escort right now) and I gotta have a V8 real bad.
