Nothing wrong with that then. What year is the classic car in your picture? My father-in-law is a 2nd owner of a '66 Coupe and my dad just bought a fully restored '66 Coupe. They were both glad to see me purchase a Mustang. I also own a highly-modified '66 VW Bug and a '57 Porsche Speedster replica. They were ready for me to start working on something that takes anti-freeze.

That's cool. There is one here for sale locally. It is a really nice black one, very heavily modified, but I figure he wants way too much for it. I picked my '89 up for $3000. It has been in the previous owner's family since 1990 and he has kept a very well documented journal of all things done to it, even putting in gas. It is need of a paint job, but more important to me is the almost new looking interior and how well the car seems to be mechanically, except for the intermittent stalling issue. But I think that will be easily corrected once I read the codes.

Exactly why I bought this '89. My other 2 cars have become garage queens.
