Average Age?

Well OK Art, here we go with another story. I am 55 and have been a Ford nut all my life. In the late 60's I had a 289-271 high performance Mustang that was just about the fastest small block street racer in these parts. Marriage and kids put the performance stuff on hold but I could never forget the first Cobra I ever saw. One Sunday afternoon at the local drag strip a Caddy pulled in with a 427 Cobra on the trailer. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen in my life. He fired it up and took it off the trailer for tech inspection. It failed because it didn't have an approved bell housing. The owner fired it up again, put it on the trailer and took off. I never got to see it run but I never forgot the sound.

Years went by and the kids grew up and one day when I was looking for a car, my wife said that she liked the looks of the T-Bird. A week later there was a Super Coupe in the driveway. That was sold a couple of years later when I bought a '97 Mustang Cobra. I always felt that kit Cobras were too expensive but after a year of research, I have made the big step. It will be delivered in a few months and the "project" will begin. I guess that I will have to sell the Mustang to complete the Cobra but that's life.

Fords and Mustangs must run in the blood since both of my daughters drive Mustangs and one has just bought a Cobra kit with her boyfriend.

I guess that I have rambled on long enough.
