Well, I have not gotten to post on the web site nearly as much as I might like, on account of how much I have been running around town with my old man with his super nutball midlife crisis. Well, I suppose it’s not as far out as it might be. You see, how he showed up was he dressed up like fonzie, and come on over to my crib and tell me, in his hippest dialect: “Come on in, dude, we’re out cruising for some classic Ford Mustangs for sale. You heard that right, youngster, I’m all set to make this thing happen.”
Next thing I know the two of us went out to some of those weird classic car places that you’re just about convinced the mob owns and operates, and I watch my dad made out a check within just a few minutes, for a very sparkly classic car. It’s an impressive car. It sounded really nice as well.
There’s a reason why I said that last sentence in a past tense. It sounded great right up until it seized up completely. My Dad maintains that it’s just a quick problem and he just needs to find the right part. Of course, it is not as straightforward to pick up 1966 Mustang parts as it was like three decades years ago, but the old man tells me there’s a really sizable market for them in spite of their age. the best place to find parts for 1968 Mustangs is by way of online auctions, since you can get them rebuilt and sometimes even brand new. They’re not necessarily a steal, however… Come on, man, they are thirty year old Ford Mustang parts.
I guess it could’ve been worse… He could have gone and found a harley.
