Midlife Crisis Alert: Impulse-Buying A Classic Ford Mustang
Posted August 17th, 2010 by adminWell, I haven’t had time to post on this site nearly as much as I might like, on account of the fact that I have been dealing with my pops manage his super nutball midlife crisis. Okay, some would argue it isn’t quite as nuts as it could be. You see, the way he played it out was he got all done up like he was Fonzie or something, and storm over to my place and tell me, in his “coolest” dialect: “Get in, dude, we are going out shopping for some classic Mustangs for sale. You got it, son, I’m all set to get myself a real cruiser.”
So next him and me were off to all of those creepy vintage car showrooms that I’m pretty much convinced are not exactly legit, and I stare in wonder this wild old guy wrote a check on the spot, for an unnaturally sparkly classic Ford Mustang. I have to admit, it’s one hell of a machine. It sounded great too.
You’ll notice I said about that sound in the past tense. It sounded great right up to the point that it seized up completely. Dad says that it’s a really simple fix and all he needs is the right part. Only thing is, it’s not as easy to come across 1969 Mustang parts as it was some three decades years ago, but my pop swears there is a really good-sized aftermarket for them in spite of their age. From what I’m told the nicest way to buy parts for 1965 Mustangs is through web auctions, since you can get them rebuilt and often as good as new. They might not be that inexpensive, however… Come on, man, these are thirty year old automotive parts.
Could be worse, though… It would’ve been worse if he’d gone and found a toupee.
