Back in the saddle!!! The Mustang rides again!

[Fredensborg]

Finally got my Mustang back on the road after many years of sitting in the garage! Found a local mechanic to help me figure out a final gremlin that was eluding me, and just like that I have a road worthy car again!  The kids are almost as excited as I am! I have driven her more miles in the last few days than we have the last decade, man it feels GOOD to get out and about with it again!!!

Great to hear.  Must be hard to see your car sit for a long length of time and wanting to drive it but can't.  Enjoy the weather and have fun.

Congrats being back behind the wheel.

That has to be such a rush to be able to drive it again and share it with your kids!

Yeah, I am happy for you! Now time to enjoy it with your family as much as you can - they are meant to be driven, not sittin'  :thumb:

Off to the DMV today to register it so everything is on the up and up! I've been getting lots of looks and thumbs up around town already.

Jason,

Hope your enjoying the ride!

your picture has got me curious… horizontal running lights on a ‘73?

Ya, someone put in a grille from a 71-72 before it came in my possession. I prefer the look of it anyway, but the grille doesn't line up perfectly with the urethane bumper

Happy for you to get it on the road again. Mine mostly sat for a couple of years with just an occasional startup and very short (5 mile drives a few times). Got it back on the road a few months ago and it was awesome. So excited for you!

Looks great. Marti Report available? They should have kept the 71-72 grill for these. I'm also wondering about the rocker chrome etc. and Ram air on a Q code. I guess the past owner changed a few things. Wish I had time to drive mine.
