High mileage PJ

Well. here's a PJ that seems to have survived (for now) a brutal life ... think of a taxi (yeah ... GO) living and being thrashed in NYC !!!

If it was cheaper I might consider it for a daily driver and save mine.

The price does seem high. Lots os miles and probably lots of burnouts and hard driving. Does having a mechanic mean you can charge more for the car?

I assume that the car was abused (tore out the Watts Link mount???) but I'd like to think my PJ will really last considering I respect the machine. Sure I drive it a bit hard at times (who of us PJ owners don't?) but I don't beat on it ...... Wink

I think we all "lean on" our machines ocassionally, Rich. Isn't that the point of owning a muscle machine? DoIt Evil Grin

I think Ford knows that, and builds these cars accordingly.

Having said that, there is such a thing as abuse. I'm sure this car saw lots of that. Thinking

Don't get me wrong. I think we should all run our cars. They cartainly can take some abuse. I just don't do it every time I take the car out.

I use to rent a variety of sport cars for long holiday weekends and take the through the back winding roads and into the mountains of NH and ME. What I found is these cares would always look and feel much older than they were. Renters do not treat vehicles very well knowing full well they will be reutrning them in a few days. I would mind a high mileage PJ if it was owned by one or two people, but I wouldn't touch any car that has been driven by alot of folks on a rental basis. Sick
