Valve job.

General Comments:

The first and only Ford we ever owned, and we will never ever again buy any Ford product, those profound pieces of junk.

I don't fault the Mustang for needing a major repair within just under 50,000 miles of driving, for that was the norm in those days, but I do fault Ford for refusing to honor their 50,000 mile warranty. Eventually I found myself in a small claims court in Washington DC, up against a senior partner of DC's most costly law firm who represented Ford. To paraphrase the judge's ruling, I was right in that Ford owed me a repair under warranty, but because I had not followed the small print in Ford's warranty to the letter, Ford was off the hook.

So, in the ensuing 4 decades, we never again bought any Ford product, and we never will, and neither should you

Nothing has gone wrong with my car except for a few battery changes.

General Comments:

The car is all original and it is a beauty.

Faults:

The car itself has been very solid, the only problem has been with the previous work done by inexperienced people. This required a full restoration in order to properly correct.

The driver's side seat, which is now the passenger seat for RHD Australia over 40 years has suffered from collapsed springs, which is the same as the rear seat.

Neutral safety switch has failed.

Indicator selector switch failed after 1000 miles.

General Comments:

This is the perfect car for a fun and reliable daily driver or weekend cruiser.

The sound the 289 makes with the right exhaust is one of the best sounds in the world.

If you drive it everyday you stand out in traffic and don't feel like a lemming by driving another a to b plastic sandwich box.

Every morning, it feels like driving a getaway car with the noise and torque of the V8 being so theatrical.

You get comments and offers to buy the car where ever you go.

You just have to find the right mechanic who knows the cars personally.

I wouldn't drive anything else as it gets me to work everyday (the daily commute is one of the most exciting things in my day), it can be used on the weekend for recreation. I take it to shows and get comments constantly.

The cars are bullet proof, with parts being cheap and plentiful. This is car that can be customized in any way I want.

People say it's an expensive car to run. but then I ask them how often they have to replace their modern cars - every 3-4 years. I won't ever replace mine - what a saving.
