My CS is down for it's long winter's nap, as is my 96 GT Convertible. :sad:
It's not a daily driver but definitely occasionally driven. Although not so much this year. :sad:
This year hit the NJ show in Butler, NJ and a few big shows, Carlisle Ford Nationals, Mustang at the Beach MCA Show (Long Island, NY) and the Adirondack Nationals in Lake George, NY. Drove to all of them, all 1-4 hour drives.
Didn't get to too many local shows this year unfortunately, just super busy with work and the family.
Car is in nice shape, starting to show some wear from driving it but I'd rather be driving it as opposed to looking at it sitting in the garage.
Time and money have been holding me back from doing a few things to it. Nothing major planned but some freshening up here and there.
Ended up having to flatbed it home from Lake George - started having some troubles on the way home - not sure if it's the Pertronix ignition or the fuel pump or what but wasn't getting gas at highway speeds. Didn't have time to figure it out before it was time for storage so that will be the first Spring project I guess.
I envy those of you that are able to drive your cars year round or close to it.
Oh yeah about the car...
This is my 2nd CS. I bought my first in 2005.
I purchased my current car off of eBay in 2007 from North Carolina.
I am the 5th owner and it was in California until January 2003 before moving to the East Coast.
The car was in great shape when I got it. Repaint and engine rebuild were done around 2002.
The car came with the original Owner's Manual with the original owner's info typed in plus a California
pink slip and original black plate.
It has the original 289 engine and a previous owner changed it over to a 4bbl.
Prior owners have added Power Brakes, 3" Custom H-pipe Dual Exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers, a Holley Carb (which we replaced)
and Chrome Wheels with GT center caps.
The car came from the factory with power steering and an automatic transmission.
We repainted and detailed the engine, replaced the dash pad, added a Pertronix ignition and coil and a Flaming River tilt wheel.
Love the conversations while filling up at the gas station ... those are some of the best ... as well as meeting other CS owners. I've only met a few in person so far but a great bunch of people for sure!
