About Numberscruncher

Numberscruncher

Here in TX, my 64.5 Mustang (without AC) gets driven at least once a week, year round, rain, snow, and ice excepted.

So a SUV frame. Yay! Not. Always wanted a low slung Explorer.

Numberscruncher · ‎11-04-2022

Absolutely, they do. Sure, there may be exceptions, like the Cayenne, but MOST major car companies are ONLY interested in maximizing their bottom line, whatever that takes. Ford is a prime example, with that Mustang Mach-Ery. It dilutes the Mustang brand, probably the next step to killing off the Mustang entirely. 😞

wider pickup trucks, just want we need. NOT.

Human "resto-mods"

Numberscruncher · ‎16-02-2022

I'm sorry, but no restomod will ever win me over. I don't do vettes, but both my Mustangs are totally OEM, with the exception of radial tires, period, full stop. As others have said, there are too many overpaid buyers seeking vanity cars.

Numberscruncher · ‎07-02-2022

Easy. NONE, unless you’re driving a REAL race car. Otherwise, they are an annoying affectation.

Numberscruncher · ‎17-01-2022

CUVs and SUVs are horsesh!t and all belong in the junkyard. They are NOT and will never be cars. Throwbacks, maybe.

Such a great story! I’m glad she is still there, after all those years!

Numberscruncher · ‎15-12-2021

The Caddy and Mercedes are nice, I'll pass on the rest.

Numberscruncher · ‎14-12-2021

Loved my 79 Brougham in Light Blue with a sunroof and the big V8 (4.3L). Got totaled by a semi. A true American Personal Luxury Car.

Numberscruncher · ‎12-11-2021

I'm betting less than 2% of those "Trail Bosses" EVER make it off pavement. So much overcompensation.

Numberscruncher · ‎20-10-2021

I wish ALL trucks were that size. SSUVs too.

Numberscruncher · ‎16-10-2021

Enjoyed the Mustang Commercial. I had never seen it. 🙂 Thanks!

Numberscruncher · ‎04-10-2021

Well said. I drive my 64.5 Mustang at 10/2. My 2015 Mustang is driven at 9/3. Sitting so far back that your arm is straight is just damn foolish. As you said, you lose fine motor control that way.

Numberscruncher · ‎21-09-2021

Beautiful cars, all around.

Numberscruncher · ‎04-09-2021

Great story. Beautiful car. I understand the comment about it not being yellow. The one my folks had when I was growing up was Wimbledon white with a red interior. So is the one I have now.

Numberscruncher · ‎30-07-2021

Hmm. While I wouldn’t have enjoyed riding in the back seat, the 4 seater Vette was better looking than the clunky TBird.

Numberscruncher · ‎28-07-2021

Interesting article. Even if I'm just one of those Boomer "ubiquitous" 64.5-66 Mustang owners.

Numberscruncher · ‎19-07-2021

A logo on the dash is better than nothing, but heck, I'd still like to know who the idiot was that decided to not use a universally recognized logo on the car. Let's face it, the blue ford oval is pretty lame.

Numberscruncher · ‎16-07-2021

Enjoyed reading this one. Can anyone tell me why the Foxes didn't have Mustang Logos anywhere to be seen? It's *supposed to be* a Mustang, after all?

Numberscruncher · ‎12-07-2021

No Surprise there. My parents and I had a 65 Mustang in Germany in the late 60's. It stood out from all the other cars on the road, and the comments and offers to buy it back then, were frequent.

Numberscruncher · ‎17-06-2021

Beautiful car for a '66. I'd love a leather interior in my 64.5.

Numberscruncher · ‎14-06-2021

Nice to know my first gen Mustang is holding steady. 🙂 Of course she isn't going anywhere. 3 owners in 57 years, only two families.

Numberscruncher · ‎11-06-2021

Renaissance man, sweet little car. 🙂

Numberscruncher · ‎10-06-2021

Lovely car. Fascinating history. Enjoyed this one.

Numberscruncher · ‎08-06-2021

Other than the plutonium key fob and the "mishap" at the school, loved the article! More, please!

Numberscruncher · ‎07-06-2021

Beautiful car with a star studded history. If only I had that kind of play around money.

Numberscruncher · ‎01-06-2021

Love Rolls Royces, but 28M? Ouch.

Numberscruncher · ‎01-06-2021

Beautiful Car.

Numberscruncher · ‎01-06-2021

How many people really *need* something like that?

Numberscruncher · ‎14-05-2021

That cougar is cool.

Numberscruncher · ‎10-05-2021

Oh, that Mercedes is beautiful.

Numberscruncher · ‎06-05-2021

Good list. Thanks.

Numberscruncher · ‎06-05-2021

Good suggestions.

Numberscruncher · ‎05-05-2021

That's a lifetime of gathering. Too bad he didn't put all those resources to good use.

Numberscruncher · ‎05-05-2021

A "barn find" is typically a candidate for restoration. A junker is only good for parts, at most.

Numberscruncher · ‎04-05-2021

Very true. Once upon a time, cars had personality and character, now 90% of them are interchangeable.

Numberscruncher · ‎03-05-2021

KIA Telluride is a classic collectable? NOT.

Numberscruncher · ‎29-04-2021

Beautiful cars.

Numberscruncher · ‎29-04-2021

2021 is collectible, how, exactly?

Numberscruncher · ‎29-04-2021

That V16 is beautiful!

Numberscruncher · ‎28-04-2021

Sounds like fun. The SA Mustang club is a cliquish flop.

Numberscruncher · ‎28-04-2021

New = Boooooring!

Numberscruncher · ‎20-04-2021

Hot DANG! As an owner of a 64 1/2, Thank You! Only question I have, is, why wasn't this the lead article? I almost didn't see this, with the AMC article leading.

Numberscruncher · ‎15-04-2021

MMM... I'm a Mustang enthusiast. That generally means I know what I want, and if I can't get it today, I will find it elsewhere, or order it. I take umbrage to your claim that enthusiasts make bad customers. The kid in your story was NO enthusiast. He was a kid, swayed by the "influencers" out there, who demonstrated his impulsiveness and fickleness by buying a different color and transmission, after ordering what he thought he wanted.

Numberscruncher · ‎03-04-2021

Living in SA, there are only a couple of weeks out of the year when driving my baby isn’t advisable, so she never goes into storage, but Spring is a good time to check things out. Thanks for the tips.

Numberscruncher · ‎02-04-2021

Now, those are classic cars! Thank you.

Numberscruncher · ‎31-03-2021

How wonderful that such a beauty gets to see the light of day again. So sad, when a piece of art is locked away in a box.

Numberscruncher · ‎20-03-2021

Restomod Classic is an oxyMORON.
