Hi.. This is Andy Mowen (member name - Smithers)
I never did introduce myself back in Sept. 2006 when I joined... I still have my LL Mustang GT Coupe... it has been my daily driver since August 2006 (I live in Central Pennsylvania)...I thought I would answer your questions...
1) Why Legend Lime?
Always liked the 1967 Shelby Mustang - Lime Gold with the White Lemans stripes... saw my first LL in late 2004 on a road trip to Cleveland. When it came time to get another car to replace my Sable, I found a nice LL about 50 miles from my home. It had 800 miles on it and was in perfect condition... it had the White Lemans stripes painted on it by the previous owner and then the side decals were added too - white Mustang script. I negotiated on a price and drove it home. Been driving it ever since.
2) Your cars name?
No nickname for it.
3) Your favorite mod?
Brenspeed Tune - I switch back and forth between 87 and 93 octane tunes depending on the season.
4) Future plans for mods, if any?
None, I just have to fix the paint on the hood (up front at the lip of the hood) - paint flaked off due to bad factory prep work. I bought touch up paint, because the Cervini Shelby style hood would be complicated with matching colors and the white stripe color.
5) Current mileage?
41,345
6) Most memorable comment concerning the color?
My brother's neighbor (an angsty woman) said she didn't like the color... My brother (who owns an 05 Windveil Blue Mustang - and is organizer of the Windveil Blue registry), told her where to go - politely.
7) Your overall thoughts about your LL?
Its been a good car, some repairs based on the TSB's (axle whine, front suspension clicking noise)... throttle is really touchy with the tune, but going back to factory feels like mush, so I deal with it.
8) Any plans on attending a 2008 Meet?
Long past... I did go to the 2011 Ford Carlisle Nationals, but I took my Red 1962 Ford Galaxie 500/XL Sunliner instead. Noticed that there were not many Limers there.
9) How did you find out about the LLR?
Joined soon after I bought the car after browsing the web.
10) Additional comments
Thanks for listening to my stories. I have toyed with the idea of selling it, but a new car is so expensive and this thing has long been paid off. I don't like winter driving with it... even with my snow rated tires that I switch to every winter. I try to commute with my wife in her Civic to keep the road drama to a minimum when the snow blows.
Tough to keep it clean when it is my daily work horse, but I do clay it, polish it, and wax it every once in a while and it cleans up nice. My mods are the Brenspeed tune, Granatelli CAI, and Borla Stingers. No other additions to the car (cosmetic or otherwise). It is a Premium with an AT and parchment interior. I don't know how many like this were made in 05, but I'll get the build date and enter it in the registry... finally. Have a great week.
