    That's somewhat good news. I'm glad to hear you found some stuff you needed. Albeit in rough shape. Like you said, it's a start. sorry there wasn't more. 6 years ago, that was the only place I would have gone for Maverick stuff. He used to have about a half-dozen of them. Pieced together much of my drivetrain from that place. Including a set of '74 4-door manual-disc spindles and proportioning valve.

    Well the wife has been wanting to get out of the Focus I stuck her with that i bought for me but went to her use when we sold her Trailblazer. Last night we finally saw the right car at the right time, dealers really like to make deals at 9pm on the last day of the month.

    So at 10pm I was on the way home in our 13,700 mile 2011 Mustang V6 premium package with optional upgrade wheels. Its Kona Blue and black leather. And it really did 31mpg on the long drive across town on the freeway, not bad for 305hp.

    Craig its 305 at the motor, im 298 at the wheels, so still quite a difference. But its for sure got more power than my daily driver 5.0 stang. I bet the new car does about 240 to the wheels.
