    Sold it to get married in 1997. The guy raced it for a few years and offered it back but I couldn't buy so another guy did. He kept it for a while but unexpectedly passed away and a mutual friend got it back and was nice enough to sell it back to me!!

    Nice story (except the owners passing of course) congrats

    Sounds similar to the story of our Camaro that is sleeping in my fathers garage.

    I sold my first Mustang to this young kid (I was 18 myself and the time). Didn't regret it cause I had nothing but problems with it, that's whi I sold it. I was 17 when I got it and right after I repaired it the trans went out and the problems just ketp piling on.

    Anyways, I sell the thing and a few weeks later my Grandma calls me and says that her neighbor bought the car!!!! It was sitting in the driveway next door. A few weeks later it was up for sale for 3,500 more than I sold it for, but then he ended up wrecking it before he could sell it.
