    Wow. That's nice. Ad says it was owned by a Ford mechanic; I wonder for how long, exactly?

    Don't care for the paint color, but otherwise there is a lot to like here.

    ...We used to say that mechanics owned the worst cars. It wasn't because they weren't good mechanics. It's just that they were working on cars all day.

    Nice color.:clap:
    As for owned by a mechanic, I've known a lot of auto mechanics. The last most want to do is spend their day off getting greasy working on a car. So it may as well be owned by a barber. The odds are the same for taking care of it.

    Nice! Definitely a different color. You don't see it very often.

    Who says he did the work himself. He could've been a right b@$tard and took it in to the dealer he worked at, on his day off. Let his co-workers do all the labor.
