Another mustang

Not a classic though! I have my hands full with Gert and that's enough. Talking with my husband, he brought it up about buying me something else and then selling the sebring or taking it to the metal scrap yard. Of course I said I want another mustang if he's going to get rid of my sebring and he said ok. I was hoping he would say no. If I don't buy another car (and sell the sebring) that means more $ for Gertrude (I want the E-kit damnit!), but he is pretty insistent on getting rid of my sebring. :shrug I like it. Sure it's ugly, has some dents, the conv. top has a huge hole and leaks and the interior has some mildew.. but it runs fine! LOL

So I might be getting a late 90's model sometime this month. :steer I guess I can't complain too much. I'd have TWO mustangs which is always better than one!

I could not agree more. :yah

Funny...my office secretary blew up her Sebring convertible engine a month or so ago when her son changed the oil and left two oil filter gaskets on. She told me her mechanic said the Sebring 'vert engine is unique, in high demand, and she could only find a 80k mile engine (6 mo warranty) for $1900 or a new engine $3500. What year is your Sebring?
 
That's cool :yah! but even the '90's model will need attention~ can't buy something getting on in years without spending money on it! But I too would have liked another Mustang to play around with!
 
My sebring is a 2000.

Anything used is going to end up with money spent on it. Sadly though, we can only get used cheap cars since our credit is craptastic. I've never had a new car, or anything not 5+ yrs old. :hide
 
I think it'd be terribly interesting if someone has, or is doing, but to drive a '60's or '70's model car as their daily drivers vs. a new car! It probably is happening, but let's say someone kept their '67 Mustang from not so long ago, and still drives it to this day as his/her daily commuter~ regardless of what motor they may have in it to this day! I was looking at a '67 coupe not long ago as my daily driver, but it was way too rusted out~ it was just a 6cyl with no AC, standard everything~ nice thought! :shrug
 
I thought about getting a 66 T code with the 6 in it since they get nearly 30 mpg on highway and 90% of my driving is highway.

But then there are many other cars out there that vintage that would be cool to drive daily.

fixing is easy and cheap too.

My daughters 2000 S10 just cost $300 to buy the part and it still doesn't work. Now off to the mechanic and I am 8 hours away and by the time I pay to get me and my tools there, I might as well pay a mechanic.

If it was the 66 I bought for my oldest, no issues, my son-in-law would have had it back on the road in about 30 minutes and for a minimum of parts cost. The S10 has a fuel issue. Vintage cars with fuel system issues are simple to fix.
