Default Some of the other rides...

I don't know where this belongs but it has a 2006 in it so I assume I can post here.

1972 Ford Mustang grande-
2006 Ford Mustang v6-
The other two we have since sold.

My dads favorite is his 1972 he worked his butt off to get it...ended up collecting two more and then sold them for profit.
A few more of our rides-

c6 corvette- You won't believe how much my brother paid for it...18,000$




1984 corvette-

Should get some better pictures of it...We have cars stashed everywhere.
We are currently working on a 1983 Fox body mustang and a 1974 mustang II. and a 1955 ford fairlane.
Just showing you a few cars since I haven't seen a grande on here.

Must be nice to have a dad that's a gear head. My father had trouble finding his dipstick (no offense, pop!).

Lol. You think that is bad? My dad had an old Gran Torino station wagon with the old pushrod 302. The engine started to miss on one or two cylinders on one bank. He and no less than 3 other of his friends tried everything to fix it but the miss remained until the day we drove it to the dealership to trade it in for a van.

And here is the kicker: on the day we were driving to trade it in, not even two blocks the engine stalled. My dad decided to let it roll downhill unpowered. He did not know that no engine = no power steering and no power brakes! We hit a telephone pole and pit a nice U-shape indention in the chrome bumper. If it were one of those cheapass plastic bumpers like on today's cars the hood would have been toast since plastic bumpers are all 100% faux and non functional

The principal at the school my dad works at was retiring, he wanted to get rid of the payment so he could go on trips etc. He just wanted enough to pay off the loan with 3k left to go on a trip. My brother snatched it up as quick as possible.

Man what a steal. Lucky guy!

Bunch of amazing rides though man. I wish more of my family were into cars or trucks or anything, unfortunately my mom would probably not even change the oil if it weren't for me telling her to lol.
