69 still sitting at 58,000 same as when parked in 1984- started resto this summer. 2006 will roll over 60,000 next time driven, wifes 2007 is about to break 20k, and the 2009 is still a virgin, stored with 4.9 miles.
the 06 I tore apart when I first got and injected paint in all pinchwelds/door hems, etc, is my non-winter DD, having never been in salt and underside wiped down with oily rags at oil change time still looks new underneath except for exhaust and axle, wifes has seen salt at least once, wasnt sealed like the 06 when still new, so its got some of the whitish corrosion, and traces of brown around things like welds in lower control arms- but still in excellent shape underneath...
the 09 I oiled the driveshaft/axle, so for the most part there isnt even any surface rust on those, and I sprayed all the aluminum bits like block/tranny with wd-40 when new and at oil changes(annually, even if only a few 10ths of a mile from moving around), so its as close to perfectly preserved like the day it was built as I could keep it, aside from cobwebs its just like the day it was unloaded here... originally hoped it would be my next new mustang, but anymore I think it may just stay a oddity- probably the only non-shelby/plain-jane 05-09 still in 100% undriven/factory condition anywhere... expect a lot of shelbys were probably stored away by 'investors' but this wasnt ever intended to be flipped, just love the cars so much wanted a spare after seeing the changes coming in 2010. Someday the 06 will meet its demise, then the 09 will get plated and start its turn on the roads- sure it might need a little work depending on how many more years slip by, but if the 06 outlasts me, the wife and kids will have one odd mustang to part with

not sure...plan was for it to be 'next new ford' someday when the 06 dies, but now its kinda like maybe I should just save it for a museum piece someday- silly yes, but i drive the same car everyday, so dont miss it... with my luck the garage will fall on it or something before doing anything with it...

It's sitting at just under 6500, and those are the last miles I'll run on the '13 Shelby as a stock car. When I next pick it up, it will get to 60 mph a little faster, get to 200mph a little faster, and sound a little faster. Probably will pick it up this weekend.
