Just filled it back up. Got from Leander (north of Austin) to N. Houston, which is 180 miles on just under 5 gallons. Works out to right around 36 mpg. Windows down, with a motor that's running like hell and jacked up aerodynamics with no header panel. I'm not an eco-guy, but I can dig the $12 to get to Austin.

You think it gets tossed around a lot right now, wait until you drive it during a storm or even on a windy day! Incredible trade on your end as well!
The other side... I know...

I was happy to hear that it wasn't owned by some kid. All the vacuum operated emissions stuff is intact too. Stock steelies and hubcaps.

It will be a fun little go cart. Once it's running tip-top and on a good set of tires, maybe a little Auto-X action. Though, with only 75hp, I don't know how Sweed could surprise mustangs. But, not their intentions.

Edit: Ignoring the headerpanel, which I can't find locally and the price is onpar with every other online store, ~45 bucks for all that ****? RockAuto is quite awesome.
