They kept telling him they would make it right but never had. He's put an additional 20k into the car. Told me don't take a car from them even if they give it to you. Something told me to be cautious about a place like this. I've had quite an education in buying a car like this. So it wasn't a wasted effort. I'm gonna sit tight for the time being, look again at the end of next summer.
I talked to an old Mustang Afficianado friend this weekend about your looking at that BIGBLOCK and didn't take him long to concur w/ you. He just parted w/ his built to the hilt 351 in his GT350. He said that bigblock would wear you out quick! Congratulations on passing on that one. Look forward to seeing what you end up getting. The rest of us would like to live the dream, even if it's vicariously with you, HaHa.
