Toyota Terlingua?

Looks only but it will look awesome once they open the 2010's for conversion

[check6]

ummm, is that a Terlingua sticker on a....Toyota... sorry, I mean it's yours, but I'm just not feeling it

[BLD MOVS]

Btw, where did that sunroof come from? Please don't tell me that it was done aftermarket "dealer installed option".

[TacRunner]

No its not a ford, .... No its not a Mustang, .... however, pause for effect, SAI is not ready for a Terlingua Conversion on my 2010 so I have to put my creative talent to good use or who knows what I might do.

Anyway, ...
I know where Big Bend is and having a 4x Truck in that area would not be out of place. We will need to have a "pull out the struck car" rig for when ya'll go into the bar ditch during the Bull Run.

I know that it's hard to see, but the truck was paid off along time ago, I'm not needing a new truck in Southern California anytime soon, might as well try to have fun with it. Heck the worst day of weather here is like a light shower anywhere else.

Besides the Taco is 70% built and assembled in the states the same as most Ford cars/trucks.

But Check6, I do appecaite your comment. Everyone has a opinion or prefrence or whatever, that they prefer over others. Before Apr 09, if someone told me that I would be owning another ford I would have slapped them. And thats not to mention that my Wife and I, have had the time of lives in the new mustang!!!

May be a good time to revive the remembery that one of the original uses of the TRT logo-stickers was to slap them on anything you could reach on the starting grid, so the banner could be carried proudly into war (even if the warriors didn't know about it!) .

I'm not sure that in this day and age the flavor of a stickered Toyota is all that good, but even a misplaced gesture is better than no gesture at all. (LOL face goes here)

And let us not forget CS raced Toyotas in the 60s(GT 2000s?)
In the 1980s my Mitsubishi PU sported Cobra emblems because that was as close as I
could come to owning one.(my 1940s Ford 8n tractor wears galloping ponys)
If it trips your trigger,do it.

I have put Terlingua stickers on my F350, GT500, GT500 Vert, Expedition and put them on a Porsche 911 that was left in the garage at the track. They've also graced 1 totorhome and 2 trailers.

My 1:43 scale models of the Toyota 2000GTs driven by Davey Jordan and Scooter Patrick. The #23 (Jordan) car is autographed on the case; although I was able to talk with Patrick at the RIR Legends gathering in March, I had forgotten to take the #33 model to have him sign it. Maybe next March.

I don't see any TRT stickers on them. Anyone have a few 1:43 TRT stickers to spare?

Thanks Frank,

When I joined WickedStangs Mustang Club shorlty after purchasing our first Mustang back in Apirl, I had the privilege of meeting you. Your cars are beauitful, well cared for and you are one determined racer!

The first time I had heard stories of the Terlingua Racer was from this same car club and it always used the same comment in them, "Caroll Shelby was a non-conformist", or "just look at the wide range of vhivles he has done", or my favorite, "Terlingua was the way to thumb their noses up to the estabishments". Because of all those favorite, famous Caroll Shelby quotes and my love of the Terlingua concept, give me the brainy idea of a "Terlingua Taco"

What can I say, I'm bored , I'm wanting a Terlingua Mustang , and I had time on my hands

Hope I didn't offend anyone with my comment concerning the "Terlingua Taco"...I fully understand the history of the Terlingua race team and the stickers....Just had a Toyota burn to the ground once for no clear reason at a stop light (I got out in time). The cause was traced to a factory defect where a fuel line was placed too close to a hot part...poor design....I haven't had much nice to say about them sense. So, all is cool....

Hey Check6 your cool, no worries here, I'm in the Military and I'm ok with comments of any nature.

Besides I had two names I have heard that I like one was "Tangy Taco" and "Terlingua Taco" I love it!!!

Sorry that you lost a vehicle like that. If it wasn't for our 4-Runner having a unfixable problem we would still be in a Toyota and never gotten a Mustang. Toyota have served their purpose in my life but I will be Made in the USA as much as I can without going broke for now on.

I love what Rob is doing with the Taco... I should, I helped him put the graphics on... I gotta agree with what Frank said, Terlingua is all about thumbing your nose at the establishment. Its all about having fun and doing crazy stuff... I slapped Terlingua badges on my SGT before I even knew that Shelby was going to do a new Terlingua Mustang. I wanted to be a part of the crazy tradition.. My car is concidered (by some) to be way "over the Top" and I would'nt have it any other way. Your vehicle makes a statement about who YOU are far more than who built it....
