Well then, it can get kinda expensive as the motor has to be either raised or pulled to get the pan clear of the K-frame to pull the pan. You might clean up around the pan edges, tighten the bolts and put RTV around the pan edges/block to stem some leaking if your sure that is where the leak is from.

Well my 89 has had some good abuse, but it has only seen about 35-40k on the motor and trans.

Had a 85 w/ a 1990 motor that had 130k and it let go in about 2 weeks of abuse. New motor w/ 90k on it and 1 month later of good abuse and it was gone too...

It had one owner before me. An older guy who bought it as a "sunday car", and his wife didn't want him to have it anymore, so he offered me a good deal and I took it. He bought it May 2002. I had it out all weekend playing, it was absolutely beautiful!

Ah I just now read your sig.. 2002 GT. That's pretty amazing for a 2002 to only have 6k. Lucky girl.

I wish I could afford to have a Sunday car..

Talking Drive em like you stole em

My '94 Verte I bought 4 1/2 years ago w/ 45K on her now has 113,201 now as she sits in my garage...the last few years, i've replaced ALOT, shes my Daily Driver, and I show her (for those who might not know) .....when it rains it pours....

Original block, Tranny, paint. (except for the skirts when i changed out the exaust)

Have replaced the brakes, Oil pan gasket, Oxygen sensors, Harmonic balancer, added bolt ons, just replaced the rack and pinion, and just put in my second clutch. My drive shaft was on its way out, put in an aluminum one, my off road H-pipe is now 'patched'. It needs to be replaced. My top is Holy, and I dont mean it goes to church.

I"ve had the new top and rear glass in my living room now for over a year, and I have NO choice but to dump the $$ in it now before Nats the end of May. They judge w/ the top UP!!!

I'm buying Cads stock back bumper from him at FFW this weekend, to get painted, and get the MUSTANG letters airbrushed like Chuck Coupland did on my side skirts, to replace the back bumper I cratered into a garage TWICE a couple of years ago 3 DAYS before AUTORAMA, after a few margaritas and Black Russians!! DAMN them Russians!!! (still got 2nd! )

She runs great, and I'm hoping to run it till its can run no more....and maybe one day, I can afford a PAINT JOB....but I do not see that for a long, long time!
I love my car.

Just over 98,000 miles. I just bought it so not exactly sure how well they took care of it but I know I'll only be driving it in the summer on nice days, I have a Camry for the dirty work. To my knowledge, no problems with the engine to this point. Doesn't leak oil or coolant and seems to run very well.

I only have like 78,000km's on my Mustang, I believe that orignal.
My dad's t-bird has almost 300,000km's (180,000 miles) and she is still running strong. And he beats her real good but she loves it. That thing can barry the neddle on the highway with no problem at all. I know he replaced the head gaskets a few years ago, but other then that it's been fine. Ohhh... he broke the spedo before too. It goes to 200km/h and it hit the bottom, bent and snapped. lol He was pretty proud of doing it too.

I have no idea how many miles mine has, it has the 5 number odometer (couldn't care less anyways, I've replaced the whole drivetrain). It could be 140,000 240,000 or 340,000 Km. Anyways, It's on it's 3rd motor, the first one was dusted when I bought the car, the second was too slow, the third one is just about right.

3rd time's a charm.

My '84 has well over 200,000 on the car itself. The motor has probably around 50,000. My 2000 has 24,000 on it. I got it in August of 2002 with 16,000. It was my mom's. She didn't drive too much. My '66 fastback, who only knows on that one.

Your signature colors are cool. If you stare at them, the red fades to the back and the green really moves out at you giving a 3D affect.

Thanks. Never paid that much attention to them.

My 93Lx has about 60,000 miles, I bought it from the original owner, it has never been a daily driver, it's never seen snow and hardly ever seen rain. The only major work it has needed was a tranny rebuild. the only mods it has are 3.55 gears and exhaust. I only drive it about once a week.

My '97 GT had 49k on it when I got it last august. Now it's got 63k. The only work I've had done to it was some front end repair and a quarter panel replacement... both due to them damn freakin' deer!!!! ...the car was in the shop twice in three months.
