Well, I haven’t so much been able to speak on this site nearly as often as I might like, because of how much I’ve been running around town with my old man manage his wet & wild midlife crisis. Okay, you might think it isn’t as crazy as it could be. Basically the way he played it out was he got all done up like the Fonz or something, and come on over to my place and casually inform me, in his hippest possible vocal tone: “Get in, dude, we are going scouting for some classic Mustangs. You better believe it, son, I intend to do this thing.”
Next thing I know the two of us were on our way to a few of those crazy vintage car lots that I’m mostly sure are not exactly legit, and I stare in wonder my dad wrote a check without even stopping to think, for an alarmingly shiny classic Ford Mustang. I have to admit, it’s an intense purchase. It had a great sound too.
I want to point out that I phrased about that sound in a past tense. It had a great sound right up to the point that it seized up completely. The old man informs me that it’s just a easy problem and he just needs the right part. Only thing is, it can’t possibly be as straightforward to locate 1966 Mustang parts as it was about 30 years ago, but my pop tells me there is a really big availability for them in spite of their age. the surest way to get you parts for 1968 Mustangs is via internet auctions, since you can find them refurbished and often as good as new. They’re not necessarily a steal, though… Get real, we’re talking about 30-year-old automotive parts.
Not as bad as some midlife crises, I suppose. He could have bought a harley.
