Hello again long time no chat

[FPV6]

Hi All

I'm back after a long time absents 3 years.

I had a FG F6 which I sold to make room for a Pajero still have the Pajero

Long time Mustang fan it happens I showed the chastity belt key holder (the wife) what a Mustang 71 was worth 5 years ago, and what there worth today. the wife permitted I get one so I did 2 weeks ago I bought this

Now after chatting to wife explaining the Falcon coming to an end, and a sob story on how I miss the F6. She says if the XR8 sprint can be an investment some day like the mustang lets get one, no surely we couldn't is she serious

Any way Unknown to me she places a few inquiries on car sales one dealer after another call me telling me fat chance they don't have one can't get one

A dealer in QLD tell me that they have one there taking offers on it so I offer recommended retail they so no and politest advise they will hold on to it I say ok

Anyway it seems I've bought one in Melbourne a white one yeah ha I've paid retail with tints I'm not complaining

Looks nice. I was negotiating on a Pewter Boss 351 at one time a few years back.

Great to hear there are other wives out there with this mentallity. I'm fourtunate like you that my wife went with my suggestion of a FG2 XR6T to replace my EL XR8. Was urging us to get a newer safer family car, but was wise on the resale and needed fun-factor. She was the one doing most of the searching and organising too

It has seemed like there has been a lot of threads/posts about horrid GFs/wives/partners recently (many for good reason but not all). But it's always refreshing to hear that my wife isn't the only one in the world that respects what her man wants/likes etc and is willing to make sacrifices for my sanity and hobbies as much (sometimes more) as I try to.

Love the Mark I Stang, they are a great looking ride (I'd personally love an Eleanor replica). Will it become a club only car or a mothball investment? You just don't get too see them much, I respect guys who buy them to mothball but those of us without the cash miss out seeing them at shows etc.

And is the Sprint going to be the daily? Or an investment as well? It's amazing to see how quickly all the Sprints were snapped up. I wonder if stock weren't limited if they would have been less desirable or they would have just produced more for the demand?

Oh and one final thing, more pics when both are in your driveway?

That is my favorite Mustang. One of those, 351C 4 speed Mach 1 or a Boss 351 would be a dream,

I was looking on and off for the past decade and half no one wanted a 71 72 73 the true Eleanor Last Boss 351 advertised was going at a 100k

Glad you've been able to achieve your dream. And having your wife happy with the situation is a win all round.

I've been lucky enough to have a few classics of different makes. My first was a 70 Mach 1 M code.

Love that Stang, those early 70's ones are definitely my favourite (probably because of how similar looking they are to XB coupes haha!). She's definitely a beast.
