Re: Highest Mileage Mach 1

Just broke 100k a few weeks ago. I've replaced a the normal wear and tear items (brakes, clutch disc, throw out bearing), had the 3rd gear synchro replaced under warranty. My biggest issue has been the **** clutch cable. I had to replace the stock quadrant with an adjustable one, and it was all downhill from there. Chewed up 3 cables in 75k miles... Latest one left me rolling in first gear on the 121 tollway in Dallas.

Now I'm down to a few creature comforts, like replacing some plastic pieces (L/R mirror selector popped off, L/R dashpad A/C diffusers broken loose, IUP pedals wearing out, front seats showing wear).

She still purrs like brand new and I still get taunts by fellow Stangs as well as newer Chevys and Mopars!

All in all, the first car I ever bought and I can't imagine ever letting her go! Would love to get into a Gotta Have it Green '13 Boss, but definitely not trading in my baby!
