    I had the same exact car but mine was burgundy. I got it for a high school graduation gift from my parents and it was my first car. I absolutely loved it. It was a great car and I had a lot of fun with it. I drove it to Florida coco Beach from Brookline Massachusetts when I moved down there. Unfortunately about a month i was there it was hit by a drunk driver and it was totaled. She hit the rear of it so hard it flew over the side walk over an

    Cool to see the 6 digit odometer, started life in Ny. Do you plan on keeping this car? The air bag light is flashing because of the clock spring. Totally common. I have a few low mile cars as well that do the same. Awesome videos guys, sweet ride🤙

    Jesus, don't go by the max tire pressure. Go by the placard on the driver's door jam for tire pressure. 32 to 35psi.... Also, your oil was also full of gas seeing you compression tested without pulling your fuel pump relay. With that much gas in the oil, you should do an additional oil change. Your overheating is due to a thermostat not fully opening. Start with that first.

    FYI, Foxbody mustang has a sticker in the doorframe on dr or pass side that tells you proper title pressure which is no where near the max 50psi tire mfg states. Ford states my My 91 gt is supposed to Be 32-35psi so running your 15yr old dry rotted tires at 40psi like you stated you put in the tires is way too much air over inflating them to poss blow out esp at higher speeds,
