It had 130k miles and was worn out. I had it for 17 years so it was time to go and besides, the family didn't fit in it. I managed to trade it for a 1967 Mustang convertible. Although the Mustang is going to be a lot of work in the end I'll come out ahead. So far I've managed to pull the engine (and sold it) and get a welder. Both necessary steps. I will be replacing a bit of rusty metal but I do like learning... the hard way. @swooshdave . . . . And . . . so . . . what of this swoosh'stang? 1 Link to comment

Mikko Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 I have a 2010 ML550. Chambered pipes, K&N Filters and it’s been flash tuned along with a sprint booster throttle controller. Working on a 6.2 AMG engine and some other fun stuff! Love the sound of Merc’s small block motors! 1 Link to comment

Well, I have given up on the 67 Convertible. Ok, more like my wife isn't happy with the progress. So it will be sold soon. But that doesn't mean there isn't a new project in the garage! 3 Link to comment
