I tripped on a barn find (garage actually), a 1998 Mustang convertible with only 7,500 miles on the odometer. Owner died and his wife just kept the car in the garage. Had not been started or driven in at least 6 years. Car has a 3.8L V6 engine. I made a deal with her to buy the car, pulled the drive shaft and used a dolly to bring it home. I had to siphon the gas out, drop the fuel tank and replace the fuel pump. I pulled the plugs and fogged all the cylinders. The first start up it ran rough and would not idle, but after running it more and more (and getting it up to warm operating temperature), it has smoothed out and now it's running nice. Still have some major clean up to do, AC doesn't work (re-charge?...and it needs new tires) but looking forward to enjoying the car next summer.

Haven't logged into this forum in years because I don't have the stang anymore but good to see this thread I started is still well and alive!! I've been looking at all your cars and they look great! Definitely miss mine sometimes....

Still seeing some familiar cars and people from back in the day.

My saleen has been sitting in a quonsit my family owns for years. Only 17000ish miles on the clock. Still smells like a new car inside.
