The idea that the police used sensors on the road to "track" the Challenger is most ridiculous. The sensor doesn't distinguish what triggers it (trucks, taxies, bikes, deers...). Also, the police would need to set up the sensors all over the place and in every directions to determine the direction and location where the car is heading to. One might argue that they already know the route he's taking, so they only set up sensors on one stretch of road. In that case, there is no need for sensors--they know exactly where he's is and heading. Work backwards. Since they had enough time to set up sensors on various locations, they could have set up roadblocks, instead, maybe? BTW, the cop car drove past the spot that the Challenger did towards the end of the video clip. Did the lights on the silly map indicate something? I agree with editing out that scene. ... View more

Blasphemy, maybe, but if the world runs out of crude and gas is no longer sold tomorrow, I would convert my '69 Mustang into electric. There may be other alternatives, like biofuel, also. Good thing for us living today, though, is that, most likely, we won't be running out of gas in our lifetime. There are suggestions about the end of gasoline, not due to lack of crude, but due to environmental, political, or other reasons. ... View more

You're not wrong, but I think the issue really is about the long-term future. It doesn't matter how long it takes, or how much something costs. It's about the eventual depletion of crude oil. It may not happen in our lifetime, but it is inevitable. By then, there may be another alternative, or current alternatives will be improved. Regardless, it's going to happen, whether you like it or not. ... View more

I had my Mustang sit in my garage for 13 years in California. I placed it on No-Op, so no registration was needed for all those years. No catch-up fees either, for cars. Brought it back out right before the pandemic started. Now, no car shows to take it to. I don't think it had anything to do with "collector" status, though. ... View more

Actually, the worst design should go to the slotted screw design. I used to complain all the time about how the driver bit would simply slip off of the screw head. Hardware stores didn't carry much of the Phillips heads(wood screws)--they were all slotted. Now it's the opposite. I'd have hard time finding slotted wood screws. ... View more

You've misunderstood what was said. Disc brakes are far superior than drum brakes, for sure. The point was, that giving advice to convert to disc by default is a bad advice. Classic cars don't need the upgrade, requiring aftermarket equipment that can be costly, or if lucky, you might find a car with the correct factory option at a junkyard for less. The decision to get the upgrade depends on what you want to do with the classic car. If you want to turn it into a racer, then upgrade. If you're only going for a spin around town on weekends, then no point in upgrading. The bottom line is, does it make sense to do a disc brake conversion knowing how you're going to use the car? Also, if you just want the "cool" factor, no one is really stopping you from doing anything. ... View more

 Mine is not exactly a tribute car, but it started with an idea of building a tribute car.  I wanted to own a 1969 Boss 302 more than 30 years ago, but the price and rarity made it impossible to obtain.  I decided on building a fake one out of plain-Jane, '69 Mustang.  Well, finding a Boss 302 engine wasn't easy, or modifying a Windsor with Cleveland heads was too iffy for me, so I got a 351C instead.  That's where the "tribute" ended and became more of a fantasy, "what if?" kind of project.  I built a 1969 Boss 351.  Mine was not the first '69 Boss 351 at the time.  I've seen at least one other before me.   Most people liked it and was even featured if couple of magazines, but there were some who couldn't stand the idea of building something that Ford never built.   "That's a fake Boss 351...Boss 351 is a '71" Me: This is a real 1969 Boss 351..   "There is no such thing at '69 Boss 351... Me: It's here, isn't it?  It looks real to me.   "It's fake..." Me: Then, what does a real '69 Boss 351 look like?   "Ford never made a '69 Boss 351... Me: I know, so I did...       ... View more

My Mustang sat for 13 years without a cover.  I had various things on top of the car that were light and soft-ish.  It collected lots of dust right away and kept collecting for the next 13 years, undisturbed.   Then one day I decided to bring it back into service.  The tires were flat, cats pee'd on the wheels and had a thick. thick layer of dust.  I was sure there must be some scratches, chips and dents here and there.    In the cramped garage, I did the Optimum No Rinse wash job on it.  I was surprised to find that there were hardly any new scratches that I was able to tell from the 13 year slumber.  In fact, the finish still had the last polish job I had done and looked quite shiny.    That's when things started to go bad.  It turned out that since it was so dirty/dusty, everyone in my family (wife and the kids) avoided getting close to the car in fear of getting dirty.  Within a week of cleaning, I started to notice new scratches here and there and the trend continued for the next six month.  It was so clean, no one was afraid to touch it and so they did.  They'd walk by after grocery shopping and confidently rub against the car without the fear of getting the groceries, or themselves dirty as they walked the narrow walkway next to the car.    So, I wised up and bought a car cover after a while.  Now, everyone thinks that the cover will protect the car from any harm, so everyone didn't hesitate to put stuff on top of the car, or lean into it hard, or swing a baseball bat at it to show how well the bat will be protected by the cover.   Ok, the last part was just my frustration talking, but for sure, there are a lot more damage, now, after cleaning and covering of the car, than just leaving it all dusty.   To be fair, my wife, nor my kids, have any appreciation for the Mustang, or what the big deal is.  To them, it's just one of the cars we own, only noisier, smellier and much, much older.  They don't understand why I get so worked up over it when something bad happens to it, like a little scratch. ...

I'd take the '69 over the '13.  For the fun of driving, '13 would be the choice, but to own one, I'd be afraid of the maintenance cost down the line.  The '69's Bosses are not that plentiful, or cheap and I wouldn't be able to afford it.  Besides, now I'm too old to start a project by buying a BOSS shell and finding an engine for it and go that route.  Next best thing was to build a "replica" of it, or something similar.  So, I bought a pain Jane '69 for $800 and fixed it up to look something like a "Boss," but put a 351C in it and called it a "BOSS 351."  That didn't go well with one owner of a '71 Boss 351.  He kept insisting that mine wasn't a real Boss 351. ...

When I was painting the hood of my Mustang, I propped it against a wall, outside, to paint vertically.  It wasn't the best idea, but...  and, no, I didn't have the proper equipment to do the job.   I forget if it was after the base coat or the clear top coat, but while I waited for the paint to dry, a gust of wind came and tipped the hood over.   Luckily, I felt uneasy that it might fall over, so I place a cushion where the hood can fall onto.   Unfortunately, the cushion was firm enough that it put a slight dent into the hood.  I still have that hood 30 years later and I'm reminded every time I see it.   At least the hood didn't touch the concrete and the pain job was saved.  But the dent...!   It ended up in a magazine, despite the dent, though. ...

Back in mid 80's, I ran into an issue away from home at night.  Though my story is not as impressive, having a premonition helped.   On my '69 Mustang, I had an electronic ignition conversion done on it.  But those were still somewhat new at the time and I didn't quite trust them, so I kept all the parts needed to convert back to points, in the trunk.   Sure enough, within about a year or two, I was driving back home from night of cruising at a neighboring town, the engine just quit.  I had a hunch that it was the ignition and it was.  Luckily, I was prepared and within 15 minutes, I was on my way.   It turned out that, that ignition module was defective.  I bought another unit and it's still working fine 30 years later.  But then, those 30 years, I have not driven it much like I used to. ...
