I am new to this site. Life long Ford fan and I currently drive a 58 Ford Courier Sedan Delivery that I have had since 1972. I also have a 94 F150 4WD. My newest addition is a 2007 Mustang V6 coupe in Torch Red. I helped my oldest Grandson buy it May 12th, 2018. He has driven it year around since but this past snowy winter was a bit challenging. He was going to trade the Mustang in on a Jeep but they didn't offer much. Long story short, I bought it and agreed to sell it back to him in the future if he wants to. I might have a hard time letting it go if it comes to that, I am pretty attached already. Very nice car, considering it was driven 5 years by a teenager/young man. Few nicks, scuffs and scratches, but overall pretty darn nice. I want to make a few exterior upgrades to it and will be asking advice here and want to thank everyone in advance for help. Thanks for welcoming me to the group!

Thanks for sharing your story... It's so good to know your also such a lifelong Ford enthusiast and have held onto your "58" Courier Sedan Delivery and "94" F-150 for so many years... Perhaps you also wouldn't mind sharing some photos of them as well? Meanwhile, hope you and your Grandson enjoy the "07" Mustang TorchRed V6 for many great years to come and welcome to our Mustang community here on TMS!

No pictures are provided of your "58" and previous Mustang... Nor has any link been posted... Only images posted here are your 2007 Mustang V6 TorchRed with "94" F-150 in the background.
That being said, I suggest you recheck your thread post!

Reason: typo error
This is my "baby". 58 Courier Sedan Delivery. 390, C6, PS, disc brakes, AC, electric seats, ghost flames inside and outside. I have owned it since 1972 My 74 "GT II". 302, 5 speed, 9 inch posi. Very nice car that I sold and regret. My 94 F150. I am currently swapping the 5.0 for a 5.8. I have patch panels for the rust. I like the color combo on it.
Paint job is from 1998 and 40,000 miles ago. Chips, cracks and some small imperfections but still a great 10 footer. Inside matches the outside (almost).

Thanks for sharing images of your "58" Sedan Delivery, "74" Mustang II, and "94" F-150.... I'm assuming from your description, either you or someone else did a 302 engine swap on the "74" Mustang II, knowing there were no factory equipped 302 V8 options until the "75" model year... Meanwhile, also very impressed with all the mod upgrades on the "58" Sedan Delivery and "94" F-150... I can surely understand you reason that your "58" Sedan Delivery is your "baby" as it's a very rare vehicle that you don't come across very often these days which is considered a real time capsule from the late 1950's era and is indeed a true work of automotive art, as far as I'm concerned...
Thanks for the kind words. I did the 302 swap on the 74. I liked that year better because of the recessed grille, different hood/header. I know they aren't popular but that car was a blast to drive. I really regret selling it. The 58 is very rare. 3,352 of them built and supposedly 72 somewhere on Earth. I have only seen 2 of them since I have owned it and both of those guys had never seen another one until mine.
