My first ride was a 67 Mustang Coupe, with a 289 in it. I paid 2,100$ for it and it was junk. But 2 years and 3K$ later it sold for 8,900$. The cowlings were leaking into the int, it was compleatly rusted out. Pulled it up and found a life time warrenty sticker from ford. I called them up, they hooked me up with a classic car div, they sent me two new floor pans. I also got a poster, and the org sales sticker for it. Come to find out my stang was a star. It was used in a few Ford comercials, and it was on a few bill boards.
So that alone made the car worth alittle more. I restored it to its org cond. My dad helped me day and night.
2 years later it rolled out, in Fire enigne red (I named it radar gun red, due to the 4 tickets I got in just 6 months in it) It had a white vinyl top, steel rims. I had to compleatly re-do the 289. Some knuckle head painted the engine block red. When all Ford Engine blocks were blue back then. The only thing I added to it was a set of flowmasters, CD player speakers, and a sticker on the back window that had a chicken, and a scaredy cat about to fight.... said NO FEAR. I miss that car.
Back in oct 02, I bought a new toy. 03 Roush Stage III prem. I got the laser red paint pkg. Fully loaded. It pushes 360HP, and around 380 Ft Lbs of Torque. I am hoping to pull it out of storage here in the next few days..... Run pony run.
RUN PONY!
