I have to say... you guys got to grow up with the neatest era of cars. I know there are some very nice and brand new sports cars out there... but there will never be anything like the carburated cars again.... the smell of gas, the warming up the car for 10min before it even Idles properly because you took the choke off man i miss my 85 GT and as we all know that was the last year of the carburated mustang.

Rich you are more than welcome to stop in daily... You are always welcome to join in the conversations and share your wisdom

My first car was a 1967 Mustang with a 4 barrel carb and 225 horses. I still have it back home and will hopefully have it in Owasso in the next couple of years. My second was a 1993 Cobra Mustang (hence my name cobra4548 since its production number was 4548 out of 4993). I then had a 2000 Jeep Grand cherokee 4X4 V8 and then a PT cruiser and now my 2006 GT

My very first car. Bought for $600 in the summer of 1971. A 200 I-6 with a 3sp standard and a pony interior. Only kept it for 9 months because of constant transmission problems. Sold it in 1972 for $450. Wish I still had it today! This is the only picture I have of it.

From the looks of that list you may have a handle on the late 80's mustangs!!! They were fun to tinker with!!!

Not sure if I'd know your Dad. I haven't worked in the hangers for 16 years, but you never know.
