Default I Don't Like Mustangs.

But I have two of them now.

My wife likes them, so I've bought her two to keep her happy and that is important.

First was a '67 GT coupe with a 4 speed. It looks nice overall, but the suspension, brakes, and interior all need work, and it is pretty ugly under the hood (previous owner didn't put the battery tie down bracket on and the battery tipped into the unshrouded fan blades...). This car has been given to our daughter as a father-daughter project car.

The "new" Mustang is an '01 V6/auto convertible that we bought this weekend. This will be a summer cruiser. It needs some work too, but it was cheap and runs well.

Look like two decent rides to have fun with.

Welcome aboard.

Welcome to MF. Maybe owning two of them will change your mind.

Thanks all for the warm welcome.

They are actually both "projects", the '01 is just not in need of much to just drive it around. New convertible top is ordered and I've been poking around craigslist for some new wheels (actually bought a set of '07 GT/CS wheels and sold them already since my wife said spacers were "too much hassle").
