This car replaced my last 65 GS. It's a Legend Lime 2005 Mustang GT with a 5 speed manual. All original, never winter driven, and currently has just 44,000 kms, or 27,000 miles from new.

The non-Buick contenders and one mean unfinished Buick.

Wow, the Cobra looks exactly like the one I totalled.   Bad day, that.  That is when I realized that I had the curse of the silver ford.  I've had 4 silver Fords, all cursed!  Now I have Tuxedo Black and grabber blue.

Ted,

Was yours a 10th Anniversary edition like mine? There were only a 1000 of those in convertible. I am not a big fan of silver, but the local dealer only had this one Cobra left in September of 03.  The test drive reminded me of a 455 powered 67 GS i had in the past.  The silver did grow on me after a while. Here is how the engine bay has turned out:

All the cars look very good. Wish I was making better progress on my restoration. Speaking of Fords, look at what I just bought today. Going to be my wood hauler/snow plow truck.

Yep, SVT 10th anniversary model, had red inserts in the seats.  Really sharp.  Me not so much the night I wrecked it!  I punished myself for the next 4 years by dating an English woman.   :argue:

You can still work all the pedals in your other cars.  So, it must have done its ultimate job. I have learned some vivid lessons of respect that were real close as the power has increased.  I don't drive it now when I am off even a little bit, and won't go near it when I am angry. It doesn't need any more angry!

Some mailbox! (Re: Yes I have "others")

Dear Ted and mid-60s Buick fans of fast mail!

put a mailbox on the Wagon for a SP intake on the 455 :)

So exactly how to the mailman put mail into that box!  :laughing7:

I also have schemes for getting some fresh air from above the hood for my trusty wagon, but those projects will have to wait for her to regain her health once more.

Cheers, Edouard

Not the correct side shot, but this was looking pretty cool.
