    Atmosphere Change since 2017 model?

    Yeah my 87 911 AC sucks and my 65 912 doesn't have one!

    Stereo sounds mediocre at best

    Get a radio shop to connect a cord to the Mac that is compatible with your I phone plug, on accessories. That's the best low cost solution, sounds great.

    Tach and speedometer repair experience

    Replace your battery before you do anything more. My gauges were acting sporadically even though battery would start the engine. Replaced it with new Optima and everything works now.

    Whats Latest Battery Advice?

    My Diehard is finally going bad after 12 years and what I've read is over 10 years old. Some folks suggest Optima and others hate them. Sears is gone so... what battery is the best now and please include model number. Thanks

    Looking for a GT (2005-6), first time buyer would like to know a bit more.

    Agree with the miles thing, your best bet is to find a one or two owner with 15-25k miles since the lower miles cars may have issues from sitting

    Gauge Failure Prevention

    OK, say what you will about keeping a charger on your car but I still haven't had even an intermittent gauge failure since I started keeping the car on a tender.

    Ford vs. Ferrari Film (2019)

    I think there will be a keen new interest from all kind of non car folks in our 12 year old cars after this movie premieres. Might even bump up values

    Ford vs. Ferrari Film (2019)

    It’s called creative license to heighten the storyline to folks who don’t know anything about the story, which is 99 percent of the population. Doesn’t mean it’s right though.

    Storing my 2006 GT

    Not good to sit unranked so long, rubber seals especially in the AC compressor start to leak. You should crank it and idle for at least until the oil gets hot every other week.

    How many have been wrecked/totalled or exported.

    Estimate here years ago that 10 percent have been wrecked, no idea if accurate
