Owner here upgraded and babied it until it was stolen and recovered when he took out all the performance parts for his 67 (I believe). Ended up in pieces at my fathers work with the engine next to it where my dad stepped in and put it all back together. My brother spent just over a year with it driving the hell out of it and it developed an oil pressure issue which couldn't be solved. I took over and had the engine replaced with another 95 5.0 stock engine from a junkyard. Final tally before me156,XXX miles on rolling chassis  swapped in a 70,XXX mile donor 5.0Now it is my car. I've driven it for several years, it has served me well. Always started (except when roommate left radio on overnight but just jumped it), never stranded me on the side of the road, been a great car. I plan on keeping it my entire life, its the only constant through many different jobs, women, and friends.After the engine swap in July of 2009 I put 17x9 and 17x10.5 2003 Machined Cobras on it with 315's out back<img src="http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/1157/2011071012234522.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Sitting pretty at 172,XXX miles. I live close to work so it is not daily driven.
