Reintroducing Myself

[Scram mustang]

Hi Everybody,
I am doing an introduction because I have been a member since 2015. But hardly ever logged on. One reason is I did nothing with the current 71 Mach I Mustang that I own. My 71 Mustang Mach One I found out is a one-of-one. 4-speed M code. What makes it a one-of-one is the trunk lid spoiler. Doesn't make it worth $100.000 but it is interesting!
I started to lose interest and I didn't have a place to store it. I had some sad things happen in life as everyone has gone through. Which caused me to think of seriously selling her. It was recommended that I do not sell her because with my current state of mind may regret selling. A long-time friend told me to store it at his house in a rural area. We keep it in a shed and when I have time, I go up take her for a drive out in the wide open spaces out there, and let that car spread her wings! I just love the sound of a high-revving 4V Cleveland!
I am going to be more involved and I want to thank the people who kept this sight going all this time.

Paul

Welcome back from Chicago! I am happy to hear that you followed the recommendations not to sell. It is also great that your friend is storing it for you and you can get out their and drive her every once in a while to keep it moving but also recharge your own batteries, haha.

Hello and welcome back I guess, from SW Ontario, Canada.
Ditto what the other's said.

Getting involved in the restoration of my 73 has given me the energy to get up in the mornings.
New interests like welding, painting, dent removal, problem solving give me a sense of purpose and squirming around under the car for ratchets, sockets, nuts and bolts takes all the cricks out of my back and neck. Plus I can sleep under the car and not be bothered by the wife.
And then there are all the guys in this forum.
