It was bound to happen, Mustang
fever that is!
It has been a couple of years since
we picked up the 66 coupe and the
thought of restoring it has crossed
my mind more than a dozen times.
However, restoring the coupe would
mean taking away the wife's ride,
which let's face it; it's not gonna
happen! So the search began for a
car that not only needed minimal
work but one that the wife could
drive from time to time.
After an elusive search through
every dealership and private seller
from Whidbey Island to Auburn,
we found the magic one.
It's a 1993 GT Hatchback in
vibrant white. One punch of the gas
pedal and you feel like Han Solo
making the jump to light speed. Best
of all it's a Mustang the wife loves.
After a few stall's in the old 66 I
thought the wife would for sure be
through with the Mustang
experience. Luckily for me her test
drive was without fault.
The car was purchased in
Palmdale,CA in late December of
1993 making it truly one of the last
Overall the car is in great shape
only needing little things here and
there to bring it up for next years
show season. The biggest fixes are
to have the driver seat
reupholstered, carpet replaced
and a new windshield to replace
the current one which has some
cracks.
I guess it was my duty as president
to ensure that the club still have a
white 93 Fox body Mustang since
our former President Dave Clem
has moved on. Ha Ha Just kidding!
As happy as I am with my new
toy, the wife says the 66 Mustang
has to go to make room in the
drive way. When the 66 does go,
it will be a very sad day. If it were
up to me, Mustangs would be the
only vehicles driven in our
household!
