Kinda sounds like you might have been running a business out of it that the city didn't approve of! LOL
 
What's with you guys all being over 6 feet tall? As you can tell by the question that I am NOT over 6 feet tall- Thanks Mom & Dad!!! LOL
 
Mine was a 1978 Malibu ran like a bat out of hell but was a rust bucket.

Yeah it was fun alright....on dry days. It was not fun to drive in the rain or snow and was pretty scarey. The dual exhaust fell off and I put Thrush glass packs under it and never finished the exhaust the rest of the way and was pretty loud in the car. But that was great.

Have you restored it or just kept it in that shape? My first was a 66 Stang. Never drove it legally. Someone offered me twice what I paid for the car for just the Pony interior that was in it. Sold the interior out of it, kept the drive train and parted the rest of it. Should have never done that, car needed a bit of wheel house work and was ready for paint.....

It is wearing the same paint it did when I bought it, mainly kept it nice. I replaced the 318 with a 340 a year later, then after that a 727 an 8 3/4 went in. I also added the Road Runner hood and painted it to match, stripe was painted on to match the pinstripe on the side. I also added bucket seats from a Road Runner, the color even matched the interior.

Too bad you parted it out, Mustangs are worth good money today
