1st drive in 22+ years

When I moved two months ago the brakes and transmission were both still not working correctly. The two mechanics helping me had driven her short distances but then the transmission crapped out. We tried to get her fixed but I was forced to leave her behind while they finished.

We drove back today for a funeral and I finally got to drive her. I felt 16 again. They have a few more things to fix but it will be home soon. She drove great! Now to convince my wife to go parking. My dad told me it had virgin seats, we'll see...

Looks and sounds really good. Bet it was fun to be behind the wheel.

It must feel awesome after all that time passing. Great looking car! Looking at the first video I see you have a little fan... future Mustang owner.

Thank you and yes both of my girls want the Mustang "when they get old enough". I told them that it was mine until I could not drive it anymore. Their response? "Grandad gave it to you". My response "Grandad is nicer than I am."

I could see me building or buying them newer ones when the time comes. They both love pointing out stangs as we drive around. Funny thing... They will not call a Mustang II a Mustang. Instead they call it the "fake Mustang". I did not put this in their head. :angel:
