Was finally able to track down the original owner of the 2001 Mustang I picked up earlier this summer and got some background on what was done to the car as far as maintenance and modifications over the 17-years he owned it. The only mods are a CAI, a Mach 1 chin spoiler, Magnaflow mufflers welded into the the original exhaust system, a cue ball shift ****, and aftermarket pedal covers. The only maintenance he did was oil changes every 1000 miles - even the wiper blades are factory originals!

Now I have a better idea of where I need to start with my ownership - a coolant flush and brake fluid flush are probably at the top of the list.....

Thought about you last night as I was watching the Meachem Auto Auction. They had several low mileage Lincoln’s and Ford’s go across with no reserve that sold well worth the money. I really liked a 1966 Galaxy and a 1963 Galaxy. A red 55 TBird sold for 19,000 and a black 55 TBird went for 22,000. Both seemed well worth that. Some of the Lincoln’s went for 4,000.

I love both the’63 and ‘65+ square bodies. My dream would be a ‘61 Starliner in concours condition, but those are rare (and expensive) birds! Never really cared for the ‘60 full-sizers, but as I get older they’ve kind of grown on me!

Maybe your wife’s Expedition will be one of those auction cars some day.....???

I like it other than the rim color

made some changes to “wicked”


I hope it pays off

if they produced usable light output, didn’t leak like a fish bowl, or matched something on the truck they may have been able to stay
