Spotted my ex today....

HotBadgerFart · May 25, 2018

On all places, saw her on Craigslist. She has definitely seen better days. This is a picture from when she was mine...

She wasn't the fastest around, but she was well taken care of.

Today I was browsing Craigslist and found her. Such a shame.

damn, that sucks... all we want is for them to go to a good home when they leave us...

That's just WRONG!

I bought that car in 2005 with 40k miles on it. It was all white. Interior looked brand new, except for the VatoZone floor mats, and that stupid ashtray lid that wouldn't stay closed. (You Fox guys know what I'm talking about.) I painted it, replaced all the light housings, cams, heads, headers, driveshaft, etc- and she was just the epitome of what I loved in a Fox. I sold it in 2007, and even I haven't gone that far downhill in 10 years.

Not even remotely interested at this point. I actually emailed the chick selling it, and they weren't the ones I sold it to. I went through my records and found the one I DID sell it to, and sent him an email. The timeline goes something like this:

I sold it to a young guy who wasn't content with the 300'ish HP it had when I sold it to him, so he slapped some Nitrous kit on it himself with no prior knowledge of how any of it worked.

Sure enough a week later when he blew up the engine at Test & Tune night at the local drag strip, someone offered him cash for the car and the trailer it was on, and he took it. Apparently he never gave the buyer the title, claiming he lost it. (DMV records show he never even registered it in his name, because I'm the last owner on record.)

So, the car has sat in his back yard for over a decade, waiting for a title that never showed up, and the woman in his life wants it out of his yard and is trying to sell it out from under him while he's deployed. THEN she has the nerve to ask me if I will apply for a lost title and sign it over to her, so she can sell it for more.

Well, I already contacted the DMV this morning, and started the process for the lost title in my name, and I told her that since it's still legally my car, she can't sell it. I also emailed her boyfriend to let him know I have the title in the works, and it should be here for him when it gets back. He had no idea she was trying to sell it while he was gone- because she's apparently his ex and shouldn't even be at his house.

What a mess.

You need to go to her house and slap the piss out of her for trying to sell her ex's mustang. That is just wrong! I'm also pretty sure that it is a country song as well.

That sucks. I had a '91 that was SUPER clean (305 HP at the wheels N/A...hey...that was a huge deal at the time) that I sold for reasons I can't even recall now. Fast forward 3-4 years and I ran into the lady I sold it to in a gas station one day. It wasn't as clean as when I had it, but they ran a good 2nd place for care, and anything that wasn't up to my spec at the time was easily repairable. We chatted for a second and I made the off comment just in jest about buying the car back from them. Long story short, a week later my baby was home. Kept that car for several more years and turned it into quite the road corse machine until it was stolen and stripped clean in '13. That sucked even worse. (and I just realized I don't have a single digital picture of her)

Wish I was closer. I would get that thing running and ready to go for him when he got home.

Just an update... He's a Helicopter Mechanic, and they guys from his shop are picking the car up to make it right as rain.
