[QUOTE="JimCSHO, post: 16565612, member: 183032"] I am on my fourth Mustang. First one was a 1965 black convertible, 289, 4 barrel, and 3 speed. Paid $50 for it, towed it home, rebuilt the top half of the engine, drove it all through college and sold it for $500. I first saw the car on my paper route at age 11 or so when it was new. Ended up buying it off a friend in 1972 who couldn't get it running - he put new spark plug wires on it but connected them wrong so it was running rough since the #1 was firing but the #8 was supposed to fire etc. Once I straightened out his wiring mess the car ran fine. Then in 2006 I went to get a new car for my wife and had to take my Explorer in to the shop because the rear end was acting up again. The black Pony convertible caught my eye pulling in. Traded the Explorer for the Mustang, traded my wife's Focus for a new Focus. Put a supercharger on that Mustang Pony convertible and it was the most fun and reliable care I ever owned. Never should have sold it. In 2012 my wife said it was time for a new project so sold the 2006 with 203,000 miles on it and ordered a 2013 MCA convertible in race red. Put a turbo on this one. Three engines later put it back to stock. Then the emissions sensors went out and had to replace that. Then the cooling fans quit and wiring burned up. My wife said "this car is cursed, let's get rid of it". Had a 2016 SHO then for awhile and traded it on a 2017 EcoBoost convertible. [/QUOTE]
