Default New Member, New '67 Mustang!

Hello there! My name is Alicia, and my partner José and I recently became the very proud owners of a 1967 Mustang Coupe. We traded a 2004 Trailblazer (that needed about $1500 worth of work to the front end) straight across, and we are both pretty thrilled with the trade.

Our pony is in pretty decent shape - she starts, runs, and drives. So far we have put a new battery, starter, and solenoid on, and we have about a thousand more things to do. Considering that our last car was a 2014 Camry, this is way outside of our comfort zone and we are going to be learning every single step of the way, but what we lack in experience and knowledge, we make up for with passion and dedication!

I just wanted to introduce myself and apologize ahead of time for the thousands of questions I will undoubtedly have.

Thank you for the warm welcome!!

We were able to take her out for a drive yesterday before the storms rolled in. We are almost positive that there is an exhaust leak, and she doesn't have near the power she should have and put-puts along...

But driving this car, you feel what she was once, and what she can be again... and despite all the work she needs, that 30-minute cruise only made me that much more excited to get to work.
