You should definitely keep the car and get a beater for a daily driver. You will be sorry if you get rid of the ar.

It might just be me, but I can't think of any used car that might be cheaper to "keep on the road' than a classic Mustang.

Cheap parts available all over and easy to work on....

I wonder how much parts and labor to change a flywheel and starter on a Honda?

I said it a year ago when you first promised to be rid of your mustang and I'll say it again now. I think you might be making the right choice. I love my mustang and cant imagine selling it same goes for most of us. BUT with certain people like yourself and in certain situations uncommon factors can align which may warrant an action such as selling your mustang for something more modern.

Good luck

Sorry to hear that you have to seriously consider selling, the cruise in/ car show season is just around the corner, you may get a lot more serious bites with a FS sign in it there if you don't sell first. Isn't there a BIG show in Huntsville in May? (if you still own it then)

I really hope you reconsider. Its nice having a cool I6 Mustang to talk about on here. I also think you will regret it later.

I drove mine as a daily driver in high school. Then from 99 to about 09 it sat in the garage under a cover. I held on to it even though I had offers to sell it, because I knew I would wish I had kept it. We got it back on the road 2-3 years ago and I am so glad I didn't let it go.

If it came down to it and I could only have one vehicle I would drive the 65 every day again.

Turbo mufflers are a great choice with a nice mild sound.
