My grandfather just passed me down his 5.0. Its a bone stock red 90 Gt with only 25k on it!
I was driving it back from upstate NY to philly where i could store it and as i was driving home i noticed a sudden exhaust leak. The car seemed a lot louder and i figured one of the mufflers went bad or somehow disconnected. I bring it by my oldgarage (i was an attendant at a Sunoco). We prop it up on the lift and the whole undercarrage is rusted out. from the headers all the way back to the mufflers. The mufflers arent as bad tho. The differential looked horrible to. I have to replace the headers and the h-pipe now.
The car was kept covered in a shed practially year around and driven once a week.
Is there somthing in the air in upsate NY that causes huge amounts of rust?
