4.5 owners: Seeking pictures!

I've sent some PMs to some of the 4.5 owners here but I'm sure I didn't even hit half of them! I'm looking for pictures of 108/109 3.5 and 4.5's for my webpage.

Email them to me - I will give you credit (The format will be car's name, if you have one, your first name, the model, and location. For example, mine would be "Quicksilver - Tom's 280SE 4.5 in Scranton, PA.")

Tom,
You might ask Chuck to make this a sticky just to keep it from creeping down the page.

nope. original paint on the combo switch.

basically, I just picked up this car a month or two ago from "a little old lady" that had it garaged for 30 some odd years (94K; she had been the original owner - paperwork to prove it), and just drove it around town (San Francisco) here and there until she passed away some time last year. her son was selling it, and i was lucky to find such a fine example.

My interior needs new rugs (badly) and the wood to be refinished, but at least the seats still look nice!

The site looks good, it's kinda cool seeing my project up there with all of the nice cars.

Kinda surprised by the percentage of Bundtcakes. Maybe I should go that way seeing as how I will never find my damn missing hubcap.

Thanks for putting up a great site.

Thanks for the compliments. I want to make a site where 4.5 owners can go to quickly find all sorts of information about their cars. I have a job, so progress on the page is slow since I work 6 days a week (and like to work on other projects on my day off). I'll try to get the distributor stuff and subframe stuff up on there by Sunday though.
