Back in the mid 1985 my first was a 1977 Mustang II with a 302 and a 2 bbl carb. It was shiny black with gold wheels and a perfect gold interior. Had less than 50,000 miles on it when I bought it from some old guy in N. Kentucky. Whoever had it before him changed the rear end to a very low ratio, as that 302 would roar well over 3000 rpm at 60 mph, but the torque on tap was unbelievable. The 0-60 was absolutely ferocious and practically instantaneous, but it would top out at about 85 mph, if that. My friend called it the "Noise Making Tire Fryer". I was lucky to get 12 mpg out of it so I had to fill it 2-3 times a week between going to work and school. It only took about $8 to fill it so it wasnt that big of a deal.
While flipping with the stereo and not paying attention, I plowed into a pristine Rx7 at a stoplight. The Rx7 was barely damaged but the Mustang looked like it had lost a heated argument with a bulldozer. I got rotary fever from looking at the Rx7 and ended up buying one a few days later, my first of three. I would kill to have the Mustang or any of the Rx7's back again.
