No he owned it for a while. His parents moved and built the pole barn, then he drove it in

It’s more a true ignored car. He lives too far away to do any restoration himself and is too lazy to sell it.

I drive a 2015 Mustang GT with the Coyote V8 and I LOVE IT.

That said, a little bit of engineering trivia (you may already know it): One reason in-line six’s are very good is that this engine configuration is inherently balanced. Pretty much just put it together and it’s good. Very smooth. And, V-12’s are just two 6’s along side each other...

Yep, already knew it. It’s inherently stable.

My wife’s BMW has an in-line 6 and it’s smooth as silk........................when it runs....................

“I drive a 2015 Mustang GT with the Coyote V8 and I LOVE IT.”

After I retired in 2014 I got a 2016 Mustang, 6-speed manual transmission, 6-cylinder, 300hp Mustang in triple yellow. I LOVED it so MUCH 5,000 miles later I traded it in for a 2016 Mustang GT Premium.
THIS one was in competition orange with black stripes, 6-speed manual transmission and EVERY performance enhancing upgrade available !!!
It had 10,000 miles on it and I HAD to replace the straight pipe exhaust because it was scaring all the horses next door !!!
What a GREAT car - the LAST GREAT V-8 engine that will ever be made ( my car has the Gen 2 Coyote engine ).

The Coyote engine is certainly great, but not quite as great as the 5.2L Voodoo with the flat plane crank.

This engine can wake the dead.

The Pinto just wouldn’t be the same without the exploding gas tank (That Ralph Nader assured us came as a standard feature)...
