'89 GT with 673k miles on original engine

[Beasty306GT]

wonder if she ever broke it loose?? .......nah lil old lady like that would loose control of that car....

 

[Mr. Rustypwnz]

that car prolly has about 100hp by now, with all that carbon buildup and all..

on the contrary, there was a honda accord wagon in the paper the other day with well over 700k on it, and didnt burn a drop of oil, they said, I think thats pretty crazy, my vert has 164k on it and it runs beautifly but I dont know if its ever had work to it, since it sounds like it has a cam in it, and for a aod car it runs faster than a stick car does, idk lol...

ford only gave them tickets for a show!!! damn cheapo's someone should have overhauled or gave her a focus or something...that thing is legend....673, that like 35000 miles per year since it was new! some damn free oil changes for life or something.this guy in orlando had a gti with almost 500k and VW gave him a i think 5k cash discount on a new GTI.... ford dishes out some race tickets? i mean it is better than nothing and it seams she appreciated it, but i think she would have teared up if they gave her a rehaul, a base model 05, or at least a freaking fruitbasket......
-rant over this old lady touched my heart, she seems crazy, but that grandma is shifting t-5 in an ol 5.0, if they aint cool i dont now what is!

Nice.

 

[cervinistang]

if i was her son i would make that car sexy. lazy bastard

This is why ill never own a toyota or a honda.
she is very hoosierific, but good for her. No sense in buying a new car if the one youve got still fires up everytime!

If the motor has never been opened up then yeah that is pretty damn impressive. . I don't think a pos honda or toyota could have lasted that long.

oooooooooooooooooookay then...




Huffing gas is bad mkay

How do they know its 600,000 if it only as 5 numbers on the odometer.

 

[justabigkid]

i remember reading an article about a Saab that went a million miles in minnesota. The guy only stopped driving the car because the frame rotted away and he was afraid what would happen if he crashed,but saab gave him a new car and was going to put his in a museum.

If I were the son I'd take it down the 1/4 mile...

Badass to say the least, most people think 150K is a lot.

If you were her son you wouldn't fit in the car.

Yeah, most hondas and toyotas can last 300k+ and these Stangs are good for 200k+ even when beating the **** out of them. I guess this is what happens when you drive them like most normal honda and toyota owners would.

 

[Mustang5L5]

I dunno if i want to pass that video around and be proud it can real almost 700K miles...or hide it due to fear of what kind of people drive mustangs

 

[Strype]

The heads have to have been off that car... I call

 

[Mustang5L5]

I don't think anything's been off that engine since 1989....dirt included. The titanium lower GFX...are now permanently dirt colored
