It stands for "Always Looking For Another".They're fine cars. Between my parents and my wife and I, we owned 10 of them between 1965 and 2010......
I had an alfa graduate with those ugly rubber bumpers, but at least it had the very dependable Bosch FI rather than the Spica. Very dependable car and fun to drive. Problem was I never drove it. I ride as my main transport, and when I did need to drive, it was a job for the PU. So it just sat. Hated to sell it and still have fond thoughts of it.
Never moves. Never covered. Never driven. Just... sits. Bugs me.
Thanks, I feel better now, I will stop posting to this thread and consider my therapy session over.
Four were GTVs (2-door hardtop coupe), and five were Giulia sedans (4-door).The only convertible was an unusual one; dad had a 1965 2600 Spyder (6-cyl) for a while.PhilB
A bright red 1995 Mustang GT has been parked in my driveway since 2015. It was running a little rough when it was parked. Exact mileage is unknown, but probably around 175,000 miles. My wife bought it new before we got married. My wife drove it as her daily driver for 20 years. We raised our son in it, proving that you can carry a baby seat in the back of a coupe. My wife has a strong sentimental attachment. She wants to get it up and running good again. She replaced it with a 15 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring. She now has a 17 of the same model.I was never a fan of the Mustang. It was too cramped for me and I did not really like the way it handled. The 215 HP 5.0 V8 is kind of weak. I think it needs a new or rebuilt engine. The body, interior, and wheels are in good condition.The only way that I would be interested in investing my time, energy, and attention into the project is to have a more powerful engine. I proposed a rebuild with a Trick Flow Twisted Edge Kit, headers, and other enhancements to yield 370 HP. My wife wants to go stock. We are at an impasse and my wife will probably never take the time to go forward. I advocated getting rid of it for years. periodically people stop by and inquire about purchasing it. My wife says no. If Momma is not happy , no one is happy.
They are really a nice ride even with a little more HP... Maybe try to split the difference.. fresh motor, slightly more cam, and a more mild alloy head.. you will get a solid 300hp of driveable fun... and odds are better MPG to boot. Or really... look at it in cost.. if you are rebuilding it anyways... a basic alloy head will cost less then rebuilding the stock cast irons right.... You not going to find a good cheap OE cam, so might as well go mild aftermarket... .030 motor, a little cleanup on the intake ports and your running cheap.
