My First Mustang

Discussion in 'Shelby Mustang List' started by Dennis@carmemories.com, Feb 22, 2005.

  1. I mentioned in my Shelby Mustang story about my first Mustang being a
    '66 coupe V8. I didn't say I still own that car. Sadly to say, I "lost"
    it in my divorce. She got the house and that car. I got my Shelby and my
    life back. Some years later we got into a pissing match over the house.
    She didn't refinance it, left it in both our names and stop making the
    payments. To save my credit, I bailed out the house but I had my
    attorney include that if I did that I get my '66 Mustang back.

    But never to leave a turn unstoned. She and her new hubby decided to do
    what they could to keep the car in good shape prior to turning it over
    to me. They managed to break some of the rear suspension such as the U
    bolts. No doubt with some banzai dump the clutch shows. In that process
    the rear body connections for the leaf springs took the worse for wear,
    rust and torque broke 'em loose. The car isn't drivable now. So the car
    sits in a garage waiting for me to take it apart and bring it back to
    life once again. But it is mine. Now that car and I have many stories. I
    think that is why she wanted it in the first place.
