Not-so-classic Mustang: "My Little Pony"
Posted: Fri May 01, 2009 12:43 amSo... the Tracker's engine's been ailing, and I don't have the resources to figure out and correct what's wrong with it... and it needs new shocks, horn doesn't work, new heater core is leaking, etc...so the question became "Do I send it back in for a lot of expensive repairs, or do I see if my pal Stevie Z. was serious when he said he'd sell me his car on a "pay when you can" basis (and at a sweet price)?"
Well, turns out he was serious, and since it's still reg'd and insured, I've been driving it the last few days, and I think I'm gonna go for it.
1990 5.0 Mustang LX. About 110K on it, but doing very nicely. Body's scuffed and dinged, with horrific UV damage, but it's a southern car, very little rust. Tires are almost new. I have the hubcaps, but parked out in the open in Newark, they will vanish in a heartbeat. I am going to spruce it up a bit, but because of the perils of street parking and not liking to draw the attention of state troopers, it will never be all flashy.
