I've had my 89 for almost 3 years now. It had 58k miles when I bought it and it has 66k miles now. It's slowly becoming my garage queen...I've driven it 90 miles in the last 8 months.

Holy moly!!!!!!!!

This was a little before you time Sicy, but Jim (Mr. 5.0) used to be the forum administrator or MustangWorks and a VERY prominent member. He's full up with tons of helpful advice and has a sharp political mind. He's a class A guy in my book.

Wanna see something cool?

Republicans cut taxes and successfully fight terrorism and one particular Republican looks pretty cool in a flight suit.

Actually, White House interns er, do what you said to Democrats (or one particular Democrat, anyway).

I bought the 93 LX in April 2000, after I sold my 88 LX. I've had my old van for almost 5 years and I wouldn't trade her for any new car, of all the cars I've ever had she's the only one thats never once let me down

BLACK85GT · 05-12-2003, 07:21 PM

I think I have everyone beat on this one maybe. I bought mine in 1985. I was 19 years old. I am now 37. Thats 18 years!

n20lx · 05-13-2003, 09:21 PM

I've had the LX since June of '90, orderd new. 55k miles. About the only thing thats left from the factory is the body, the interior & the front suspension. Every thing else replaced with better or broke at the track including evicting 2 rods from the pan.

hobgoblin351 · 05-13-2003, 10:04 PM

Damn and here I thought I was gonna beat everyone. I got my 70 vert in 1986 and still own it. It was my first and I'm just finishing the frame up restoration. If i can just get the damn thing painted!

72 Gran Torino Sport...fastback, from the original owner on Friday, May 20, 88 with 47XXX miles. First (at age 20) and ONLY (up till Apr 14th) car I ha(d)ve EVER owned. Still do. Still will till I have it done. Added an 02 GT on Apr 14. Will have that a long time to, but not likely as long as the Torino.

Topless In Texas · 05-22-2003, 03:16 AM

It will be 5 years this October...she was BONE STOCK EXCEPT FOR THE 12 disk changer. Had about 45K at that time...I will turn over 114 K on the way to the MCOA Nats this weekend...
Ive put well over $13,000 into her since then....so, ya'll know when things are not right, why I stress out

....Since I got her, weve had 3 major magazine publications and I've been featured on MY Classic Car (TV w/ Dennis Gage) once and shown again on MCC 2 other times....and also on the FFW videos....so....for the 5 years almost i've owned my car, I cant help but feeling VERY fortunate, and I HOPE the best is YET still to come!

I love my car...I express myself thru my car....she is aging BAD....and her paint is wearing thin. BUT....regardless, Im proud of her and I've personalized her to the way I want her....I might not be burning up the track..(and yes, I have raced her) But I feel good about what I have done to her.
and JIM....good to see ya post..I really miss ya!!!! Glad to see you are still around.......
