619,000 Miles And Counting On A Ford Mustang
By
Dick F.

I’ve owned my 1971 Ford Mustang since it was brand new. I now have 619,484 miles on the car. Every mile and every drop of fuel has been logged. Very close to original. I’ve done all of the maintenance and repairs, including engine rebuilding. I think it might make it another 300,000 or 400,000 miles, which would make it 1,000,000 miles total. We’ve always been a Ford family, and I think Ford makes the best cars.

You're living my dream buddy. If only my country had enthusiasts like you and cars like the mustang, I would have lived the dream myself. I'm your true and first fan here atleast. I hope and pray you get to see the pony do the next 3 or 4 hundred thousand miles. And you're absolutely right about one thing, Its only because You care. Reply

I can't count the number of trashed out, beaten up 70's Mustangs I see. Makes me sad! I wish people cared more about their cars like this guy! I may drive imports, but I still have respect and love for muscle. Reply
