HOW COMEEVERY MUSTANG IN THE 60s I SEE ONLINE AND IN THE PAPER RIGHT NOW ALWAYS HAVE ONLY 90 SO THOUSANDS MILES ON IT LIKE 97,000 OR 95,000 OR 99,000 .......... WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH THAT ?

 

gremlins?


/ just say NO to caps lock

 

Because the odometers back then did not register over 99,999 So, most likely they have 197,000 or 297,000 on them. You could also roll back the odometer if you knew how to do it without screwing it up.

 

for the life of me i knew that but never came to mind .... do you know what i mean

 

ya guess ford never suspected that people would never drive over 100k on a car. I'm at either 209k or 109k

20k on the engine and tranny tho hurray rebuilds

 

Don't you know you are only allowed to own your car for 9X,000 miles then you have to sell it to the next person to experience the rush? [8D]

 

Ford was still putting 5 digit odometers in new vehicles as late as the early 90's as evidenced by the speedos in my two '92 GTs. I don't think they went to 6 places in the Mustang until they switched to digital odometers.

 

i guess 9x000 miles means: i don't know the mileage.
if it's a rebuilt they usually put 0 and if it's unknown people just put 90000 as they have to put something there

 

well then thats news to me....never![:@]
