Description: It may be hard for some people to see past the name, but the 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E is trying to chart a bold course in the mainstream EV market. The revised 2020 Nissan Titan gets a lot right with its updated powertrain and standard features, but the things it gets wrong will eat at owners. Check out our First Drive. The 2019 Ferrari Roma might be one of the lesser expensive Ferraris on sale but that certainly doesn't mean it's not fast, stylish and desirable. Mercedes-Benz is finally redesigning the GLA, putting it on the new platform that underpins the excellent A-Class sedan.





Among other much-needed upgrades, the new GLA also gets more space and off-road capability. For the first time, the 2021 Toyota Avalon will offer all-wheel drive, but there's a catch. It's only available with the four-cylinder engine from the Camry. And we have our reservations. It feels like we've been waiting forever for a diesel-powered Jeep Wrangler.

It caught my eye because it seemed out of place, so I asked the man who owned the place if it was for sale. 2800 later I had an old Mustang. It had been sitting for about 10 years, and had seen better days. My buddy Andrew and I were actually able to get it started with some ether and duct tape. I followed him to my house because the brakes didn't work and I needed his car to bump to slow down. We got it home and stuck it in the garage. It didn't run again for almost three years. The restoration process was long and expensive. Nothing is cheap when you do something like this. Other than the bodywork and paint, I did almost everything myself, including rebuilding the drive train. Engine After - and it actually ran! Slowly, the project started to come to fruition. I finished it in 1994, and it probably didn't travel more than 1000 miles for the next 10 years. For the most part, it stayed at my parents in Wichita Falls.





Either they or I would pull it out every now and then just to keep it fresh. We usually took a few laps around the driveway for good measure. The car has a 351 Cleveland 4V with a C6 automatic transmission. I went back with the original color - Light Pewter Metallic - and the original black vinyl interior. 30,000 I can understand why a lot of these projects get started but never finished. I kept this car for YEARS. The down side of doing an original restoration, as opposed to a resto-mod, is that it ends up being almost too nice to drive. I finally traded this car for a big 12-cylinder Mercedes and regretted it ever since. The prices on these early '70s Mustangs took off a couple years later. If the car is still in this condition, it's probably a 60K to 70K car today. If it had the 428 and a manual, it would be a 100K plus car.
