The motor runs fine. I'm not sure how reliably, because it's probably at less than 1,000 miles on the motor. It's the street tune, the leaking oil, the paint, the full interior needs to be replaced... I've forgotton the full to-do list, but I know it's extensive. Still, being in the area and able to visit people to check out the available parts and to put some elbow grease into the car is going to help a lot, I think. I'm toying with the idea of selling the vette and putting that money into the stang to get it where I want it. The vette handles, has good fuel mileage, is comfortable and clean on long trips, and attracts women though, which are things the mustang never really did that well. The mustang attracts more men, lol! I think it scares the women and babies, lol...
