Thank you very much. The color of this car is different. I remember when these cars where new, I hardly seen this color around. Is your color wild strawberry?
My color is Bright Red. It Wouldn’t have been my #1 pick new but I had to go with what I could find at the time. Im surprised to say though, it grew on me. Lol

I really should change the oil in the notch. Unfortunately, I've barely driven it this year and winter is around the corner.

I am a believer in changing oil in my garage queens every fall before they get interned for the winter.. UNLESS i have very little mileage on them... I also warm them up after the oil change, preferably with a drive, so the oil gets circulated well, before they are tucked in the Garage.......
I had read where thats a good time to change oil as your gas contaminated oil does set on the bearings and machined surfaces for months....
As to starting them up every week, month or whatever, BAD IDEA.... let em sit till your ready to bring em out in the spring...
Since I moved to Florida it kinda changed.... No winter here, drive them all year long......
Just sayin.......

Correct. Used oil contains contaminates from combustion such as fuel, moisture and carbon from blowby. That carbon can actually create sulfuric acid which can damage bearings.

I always change oil before prolonged sitting, such as winter on all my engines like my lawnmowers or snowblowers. I usually change the oil in the Mustang regardless of mileage. I think i have 0.5 miles on my Fox so far this year, but I'll still change the oil regardless before winter sets in.
 
I’ve got one like that @EightNineGarage.

Ripped it all down a few years back and redid it. It was a "peeler" as well.

@BlakeusMaximus - the guy that painted it for me had his Wife scrape all of the paint off with a razor blade. He told me that he didn't want any of that paint to stay under there and come back to haunt me.

This was its first time seeing daylight after paint. I felt bad driving on the snow, but I wanted to get it home.

Yep, I did the same thing. I used an air gun to blow off all the loose stuff and then DA'ed the rest of it off.
