paknght Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Greetings from the state of taxes-Pennsylvania. My GT500 came in last week and its in the garage with the blanket over it to keep it toasty. Vista Blue with white stripe, interior upgrade. I have an older restored 65 2+2 with a four speed and 289. I am use to a longer throw for the shifting, I think I missed a gear pulling out of the dealership, all the sales people probably had a good laugh. Can't seem to get use to the short throw for gears and the same for the clutch. Anyhow, after driving some, I like the feel of the car, and "powering through the curves" brings new meaning. Car is tight. Awesome machine. Big smile in Pa paknght(Mike) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orf Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 I've got the other side of the state covered. I'm southwest of Pittsburgh. After some more seat time, you'll get used to the clutch and the shifter. You might even opt for the short throw shifter, like I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must be pretty weighty at 40'ish to cover that big an area anyway I am from Pittsburgh area too paknght. That's the one thing I want NOW that I don't want to wait for is the short throw, waiting for FRPP to come out since it's in the SS. Have not seen it listed anywhere....Happy to see another GT500 owner in PA, welcome paknght Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it's mine, and my wifes. We bought two after retirement and this one I kept. We are ranked #1 in Georgia and #26 in the country by Trailer Life/Good Sam. We have good management so we live in Florida on Lake Manitouba. We are going to sell in Florida and move to Lake Sinclair in Georgia when the market comes back.

Old School, I have been watching the posts from PA and it sure brings back old memories. I come from Newark, DE and when I was younger, drove my 1965 Mustang GT 289 HI PO all around Coatesville and Route 82 and a bunch of other places up there. I really miss the old Crab Runs especially around Labor Day. I now live in the Orlando area (since 1980) and am having a blast driving my Red w/white GT500. Enjoy Woody's as I have been there many times and love it! Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
