My Dad Buying A Classic Ford Mustang

Well, I haven’t so much gotten to speak on this web site nearly as often as I would’ve liked, on account of the fact that I’ve been helping my Dad fuel his wet & wild midlife crisis. Well, some would argue it’s not as far out as it could be. The thing is, how he showed up was he got all done up like the Fonz or something, and come over to my apartment and casually inform me, in his jazziest dialect: “Get in, son, we’re going to be vying for some classic Ford Mustangs. That’s right, dude, I intend to get myself one.”

So next the two of us were on our way to a couple of those weird vintage car places that I’m always just about certain are mob-run, and I can’t believe it when the crazy old guy cut a check on the spot, for a very well-preserved classic car. It’s one hell of a machine. It made some great noise too.

There’s a reason why I put that in the past tense. It sounded great for a short time, at which point it stopped making any noises. The old man informs me that it’s a easy problem and that all it will take is the right part. I’m thinking, it’s not as painless to get your hands on classic Mustang parts as it was some 30 years ago, but he swears there’s a really good-sized aftermarket for them regardless. the surest way to get you parts for classic Mustangs is actually internet auctions, because you can find them refurbished and occasionally better than new. They’re not necessarily that inexpensive, though… Get real, these are ancient automobile parts.

I suppose it could’ve been worse. He might have bought a harley.
