Amazing... they find a '65 Mustang GT in a barn out in Kalifornia with a
tarp and straw on it and everything.  Pull it out with a tractor and all
wheels move.  Boyd asks, "I wonder if it'll start" and jumps over and it

replies, "ARRRggghhh, it's drivin' me nuts!!!"

Having just talked on the phone to Jack W. (the gatekeeper), I feel

Hi all. I thought I would throw this offer out there. I planned on
building my dream car this year but was side tracked when a rusty '53
Commander was delivered. My plan was to sell my '63 Hawk after
starting the new car as a way to help fund the project. Now I'm out a

I recently picked up a 1993 Ford Mustang Convertible from a co-worker. He put it up every winter and the body is mint. Interior is decent and it's well optioned with power everything and only 77,200 original miles. Down side: is it's a 4 cyl. auto and needs a new top. I paid ...
