I saw a grey Crossfire Coupe at Payless grocery store Beck Lane and Old 231 yesterday. The owner said he was from West Lafayette, Ind. and had owned it for 4 years. He had never heard of the .org Forum before and so I told him about it and invited him to join.

Must have been the same gray coup I spotted a couple months ago. Hope he joins the forum.

I spotted this red roadster pulling into a gas station today. I pulled in to talk to the guy and turns out we knew each other from about 30 years ago. Nice looking car. Said he was a member here already but had not been on here lately. Hopefully he will stop in and say hi.

There are a few Crossfires in El Paso, but they're difficult to make contact with. There's an alabaster roadster somewhere very close to where I live, and four coupes: blue, red, gray and black.

Last week I spotted the black coupe heading north on Dyer, and decided to follow it until they stopped. They turned right off Dyer into a residential area and made several random right- and left-turns, ultimately going back to Dyer, presumably to "escape from the stalker". I was driving my Sebring at the time, so they had no idea what I was up to. If the driver of that car reads this post, I meant no harm and I'm sorry to have caused you any discomfort.

Bob it was nice seeing you again today. Glad I pulled over to talk with you. Hey, there is information on here about the "group buy" on the replacement tops. It's still going on I understand. We will have to get all the Crossfires here in town together some time. I only know of 4 of them in town and Larry Hitze owns two of them.

BOB, I edited your post to protect you from the 'bots, scammers and spammers. They are CRAWLING all over this site (and others).

Hi from another SE owner, there are only about 850 of us, we should have a world-wide meet some time.

Yes, that belongs to Frank Musich who lives in my same county.
It was he that just had all 7 top cylinders redone.
It was my bad that I had not messaged him about joining us - I won't let that happen again.

BTW:: Brian Andrews at Clay Service and Electronics did that work and proved quite knowledgeable and competent on Crossfire repairs..

Too bad you didn't have a can of gasoline to pour on that one, definitely owned by a Bottom Feeder. Great looking color combo and hood scoop!
All hail to the bottom feeders!

Let’s not be to quick to judge. Perhaps he's driving the best car he can afford and I’m thrilled that he’s selected a Crossfire

perhaps this is a work in progress or a possibly a future parts car. Let’s celebrate the fact that 16 years later it’s on the road as a daily driver and of all of the entry level used vehicles I think he’s chosen well and received the best bang for his buck.

I do know that when we need parts, we rarely ask “what was the condition and quality of paint on the donor car?”

The car has a story and I think it might be interesting.

Its also not the first hood scoop on a crossfire. Done right it can look really great.
I also think we can all agree that Alabaster is the best colour so good on him.

Sure, right now an ugly duckling but with a ton of potential. No matter what you do, you can’t hide the fact that this is still a great looking car.
