I've had mine for 14 months. Counting the engine I just ordered from Fordstrokers, I'm at about $12,000 not including what I paid for the car.

10 years, and I stopped counting around $24K. That was prior to a $3K transmission build, Bullitt brake swap, heads, S-trim upgrade, another tune, and a bunch of minor engine pieces that all add up. I'd rather not know specifically anymore, especially since I'm looking to put a new cloth top on it soon.

It's not a Mustang (will be buying either an '11 or '12 5.0 for my latest toy), but I've had the '05 Bird for five years (special ordered from Ford 2 weeks before production stopped). The only 'up' I've added are the WW's...but she's babied on a regular basis (will go to my oldest grandson when I'm gone).

Had it since Feb 07 and have put less than $1000 into it haha. New tires, CAI, fan clutch, x pipe. I need to replace the valve cover gaskets before I put any more go-fast parts on.

yeah ive done them plenty, they are a walk in the park compared to the coilover style in the f body where the bolt is in a bowl and gets rusted together. we ended up cutting the shocks and having to get new ones. and getting the rest of the shock out of the mounting kit. was just a pita
