(Much of this post was lost. Sorry about that)
...leather seats, 5 speed manual, 4.7L SOHC V8 and only has 66,242 miles on it! It spent most its time in California and there is not a speck of rust anywhere I could see. It drives and handles like a new car.
I'm still going to have my mechanic give it a full physical next week. I bought it "as is" but I'm not worried. I can afford to fix it if it needs it. There is a hole in the side of the seat bottom that looks like a cigar burn ( guessed that because the ashtray is gone and I get a faint whiff of cigar smoke with the top up, no problem) which I won't fix. This is not a show car.
My other car is a '14 Cadillac CTS-V Sedan with the supercharged LSA all aluminum engine and is wicked fast and handles like a race car. That's because CTS-Vs are raced on European Road Tracks and like US stock cars needs to have sold enough to the public to qualify.
Wicked quick is the problem. Driving it around town is like taking a racehorse to a petting zoo. I keep fighting the urge to floor it around town. However there are plenty of mountain twisties here and a few multi-mile straightaways to keep the Caddy happy. I also have a 4WD pickup that I drive in the snow. You might see them in my driveway in the picture I posted.
The Mustang is great about town. It handles traffic like a champ. I don't get mad when I'm stuck behind a slowpoke. I just enjoy the experience of driving with the top down. Don't get me wrong, after my mechanic gives it a green light I intend to take this car, top down, on those mountain roads and straightaways and have more fun than I deserve.
Like I said, I'm back in the saddle again!
