Once in a lifetime occasion....

So what happens next? If it goes to 00000.0 then in 12 years I might see this again. If it goes to 100000.0, it will be 120 years.

Now that's long term therapy. I know how I feel after driving mine. I recently surprised a 12 year old boy on his birthday who loves cars. When he walked in the mancave and seen the GT's he said are those Ford GT's and grabbed his chest. Later when I told him we were driving it to dinner and I told him he had to push the start button and the loud exhaust came to life I felt as good as he did. The drive on the non traffic parkway was one he will remember for a lifetime.

Well done Barry!

Fantastic.

How many tires?
How many batteries?
Gauges seem to be fine.
Other?

Congrats

So Barry , what did happen next ? did it start at zero again ?
You can advertise it as a low mileage 'wrapper' car when you clean it up and detail the vehicle.

A couple of answers:

It will be 120 years until I see this again
One clutch at 65k miles
Lots of tires, maybe 6-7 rear sets, 3-4 fronts, and several nails
Pulley and tune after warranty expired
1 lean O2 engine code, for which new sensors were bought , but code never came back
1 engine code requiring replacement of vacuum hose assembly by MAF
1 replacement battery, though #2 is starting to get drawn down at start
2 sending units (so car has 3-4k miles more than showing)
1 set of spark plugs (100k maintenance)
1 windshield
2 clearplex treatments
Various gauges had 4-8 failures to show anything, with a long interval until two weeks ago, always came back with turning off and on
Everything is still rock solid!

That’s what so special about our beloved Gt’s , Bulletproof!
Every time I reread this post I just say AWESOME!!

ok -- so I see it does have enough 'fields' in the ODO to roll to 100000.
