My first car was a gift from my grandmother for graduating high school early, its a 1990 Ford Mustang LX 5.0 Convertible. 5.0 Liter V8, AOD. Fully loaded power everything w/ white leather interior and white convertible top. It’s a “7-UP”
special edition and also a 25th anniversary edition. One of 4103 made and one of 6 in my state. No mods aside from BBK shorty headers, 3 inch pipe w/cats and Flowmaster 40’s.
My other car is a 1962 Ford Falcon 2dr. Was originally a straight six/3spd car, now it has a 302 block from a 86 mustang, forged pistons, B-cam, Ported E7TE heads, Weiand highrise intake, Edelbrock 550 carb. Trans is a old C4 I yanked out of a trashed F-150 with a Hurst Pro-matic 2 shift kit and the rear end is a 9-inch with a 3.90 rear gear.
The mustang isn’t too bad, I can manage about 18 mpg around town and nearly 30 on the highway if I have the windows and the top up. The Falcon on the other hand gets about 12 mpg if I drive like a grandpa which I’m incapable of. So I usually get about 8-9 mpg, I hit the gas station a lot too because the tank is only 10 gallons.
Thanks, she’s a bit more rough than she looks in the pictures but its no big deal. I beat on it hard so even if it wasn’t too rough before it would be by now
