    Wish I still had it. http://www.cars-on-line.com/61021.html
    I owned it from 9-86 to 11-87. It had 28k + miles on it when I sold it. It still hurts.

    Dont wanna hijack the thread but its a pretty good story, My wife and I were out on my motorcycle one day joyriding and I was like hey I think thats my old mustang,

    The guy was out in the front yard playing with his kids, I pulled in and got off my bike, said hello and told him "I think that might be my old car" He stepped back kind of defensively and said " oh yeah what makes you think that?" I said well does it have crushed velvet inserts in the seats? He said yes, I said does it have fog lights mounted behind the grill? He said yes. I said does it have a 1978 bailey technical school parking sticker in passenger side of the windshield? His shoulders kind of shrunk, lowered his head and said yeah.

    I didn't know it at the time but I think he must have thought it was stolen and I was about to take it away from him..

    But after I told him I was just happy to see it and looked it over he seemed quite relieved and friendly..

    It was great to look it over again, oh how the memories flooded back, I mean this was my first car and I dated my then girlfriend/now bride in it, had a million helluva good teenage times in it.

    I asked him to sell it, he refused..told him where I lived, that was about 4 years ago now he's parked it and its just sitting there...oh well
