Yep, it spent it's whole life in California. It's a straight six with a manual. Paid $2000 for it and bought it from the original owner.
I like the high performace Mustangs better but this will still be fun.

Not much gets by this old man. No go on the Powerball. But it's just as well, the way y'all were spending my money after I went to bed last night a 15 mill jackpot will not even get us to the gate much less out of it. Oh Scott, on edit. Is it a '64 or '65? I think they were all called '65's, but you can search the VIN and find out when it first hit the street.
Thinking about Lisa and her mouse that almost got away, I've had 'em come so close to getting away that they were nabbed by just the tip of their nose. I'd rather get it in the neck than at the tip of the nose.

Jim, I've not played with it yet. It's a PITA to just take the light part apart, but I will probably do it tomorrow. I had it working perfect without the gingerbread installed. You know just the basement style ceramic socket hanging by the wires, but put the brass back together and it takes on a life of its own. Last night there was no one in the room at all and the light just came on, it made the puppies jump. Even at their age they know lights are not supposed to do that. I know it is on the neutral leg, so like I told you on the phone I will work around using neutral. I know enough about electric to get myself in trouble, which is why I called you.

Mark, Are the devices in the house back wired (stabbed in the back)? Or did they do it the right (IMO) way and use the screw terminals on the plugs and switches? If your loosing the nuetral it may be cause by a loose connection up line.

[quote=megawatt00;6716556]I don't know. I do not think I've pulled an outlet inside the house in the nearly 9 years I've been in and out of this driveway. But the ones around the pool are done right. I know what you mean though as I had a stabbed in the back black wire come loose in the motor home about 2 years ago and it took on a life of its own too until it finally quit working completely. It was the most important string of outlets in the motor home too and I just had to find the problem. It was a string of five, I got lucky and found it at the second one. I would never, ever, never invest in one of those mickey mouse stab connections.

UL lists it as an acceptable wiring method. I have redeviced more houses than I can count due to these type of problems. Some contractors do it because it is quicker. I would much rather take the time to do it right. It will cost me a little bit more in labor but I know that it is good for life, and not until the little metal tabs get fatigued. I actually opened up an outlet one time just to show an apprentice why I insist on using the screws.

If I could find something in that shape for 2k around here I would be the happiest guy on the block!
I personally would swap out the 6 bangher for a small v8, slap a little paint on it, put some rims on it, and drive er all over!!
Here's one I have sitting right now I have a few other things but don't have any pics .

it seems to me you are gonna need to have a winter commune and a summer commune with caretakers year round...
like Mark said $15M wouldnt get you thru the gate...
Then again...with a heated garage, there would be no problem getting the PSD's started.
You could also put in solar panels and windmills for electricity.
maybe even tap into a geothermal heat source.
a wide area network should be no problem...and with so many people using puters...you'd want fiber optic connection speeds...
were you planning on living Green?
Beer would be cheaper in Kegs...and mugs dont fill up a landfill
Travis...could they fill a bulk liquid railroad tank with beer...or would it go flat too quick?
just some early sunday morning thoughts.
Dont forget to find a dr and a few nurses that drive PSD's too
all those retirees need care

Scott, that looks like it's spent most of its life in AZ or CA. I do not remember 4 wheel lug mustangs. Must've been though. I was always looking at the high performance ones of course. How much did you have to cough up for that if you don't mind announcing such information.

could be partially true,but probly more of my redneck blood popping out (remember I am born and bonified ), this place just ain't close to the way it was when I got here 45 years ago
condos and houses line the beach and each resident thaink they own it and the a just a few access points
the beach stinks from rotted sea weed and dead fish since we have red tide most of the time anymore
last time I was there was about 10-11 yrs ago and we were hauling sand from a quarry to rebuild the beach
lat time I was actually on the beach for pleasure with a buch of friends a resident thought hewas gonna run us off and got nasty enough for me to open a an of whoop *** on him,I bout went to jail but was enough people to swear he threw the first punch
