The automatic with a 3.00 rear is a factor. Convertible with ram air and AC is a big deal but the car is still overpriced at $35K. It will not sell for that amount non running and rusty.

Fellas I think it's a swell car, has mucho potential

And they say it's a black on black cat with all those options, very desirable

I would take it if I could, but I can't

98SVT - was 06GT

What's the value restored? $150 TOPS. $32,500 ask only leaves $120 for restoration. Is the Cougar air cleaner the same as the Mustang one? If not where would you get one????

Yeah you can get it.  Just stomp one foot really hard on the Floor and tell your Wife that you want it, you deserve it and by gully, you're getting it.  You need to look her in the eyes with a really stern look on your face when you do that.  You can do it, I have faith in you.  Who else thinks he can do it?

I know I can get it , we have no hurdles

The 1966 Hertz 350, bought it and told the wife "what you doing tomorrow?"

She said nothing

I replied, let's have lunch on the W coast and bring our check book

DONE

Our 2024 most lovely, deadly fast, handles like it's on rails, one hell of a car "The C-8"

Ordered it, waited 8 months,  it came in

Asked her if she wanted to have lunch tomorrow

She replied "sure"

Told her bring our check book

The rest is history

Storage is the issue with this "cat"

Life is good....actually great !
