I have 11000 on mine but only because it's been in the shop as many months as I have had it to drive. I love to drive it when I have it. lol

752 miles? Really

Wow, and I thought I didn't drive mine much. Bought her 5 years ago with 12,000 on the clock, and she has just under 18,000 now!

Yep, 752.4 to be exact. I had a '88 GT from 1988 to 1990 that I drove really hard. This one is just a long term keeper

Still got mine that I ordered then picked up in Dec 2005. Also don't have plans to get rid of it even after 2 kids and one due in June (looking at add a minivan to the collection.. Oye!) Haven't done any mods lately nor have I been checking in here much but I still love driving it. I tend to spend more time with the motorcycle lately since its my commuter. As for not knowing what I'm missing with the 11+, my dad has one which I've driven pretty hard. It's nice and the power's great but i gotten my interior and exterior just the way i like it and wouldn't take his over mine at this point. 44K miles.

Here's a picture of the Boss 302 steering wheel and black dash panels installed. The MyColor feature is nothing crazy, but it did come with the leather steering wheel and the extra gauges. Back then that was the only way you could get it. I've changed the colors only a few times. I now have the GT500 cluster and have the pods set to red / white / blue, and that's how it will stay probably forever.

The Raptor is an awesome daily driver, absolute beast. Lots of desert out here in AZ, lots of fun just jerking the wheel to the right off the highway and blasting around for a bit whenever the mood strikes you.

And the speculation is correct, my dad's 3rd wife is no longer around. The damage of course was already done with the sale of the car. The guy who bought it (4 owners after my dad sold it) is doing a full scale restoration on the car. It's been 3+ years so far and it's still not done. It's going to be restored to it's glory so at least it finally made it's way to a good home.

Nice. Any complaints/regrets about going with that setup?

Nope I wish I would have done it from the beginning, the flexibility of being able to adjust the height is awesome
