I love that he has kept it almost completely stock in appearance, I think it is a shame when any car loses it's stock paint color no matter what color it is. Odd colors like this that were once not very desirable are now very desirable for many reasons. I think in the future the most valuable fox bodies will be the rare color combos like this. You can't go wrong with a coyote swap either, just perfect. The only thing i would do if it were my car is install matching tan halo headrests on the seats, maybe a pair of a saleen with the netting, that would finish her off.
