Happy Birthday, Murphy!
« on: June 03, 2014, 01:47:48 PM »
Wow, 46 years ago today my near life-long companion rolled off the Dearborn assembly plant, three days ahead of its scheduled build date. My mother and I picked up Murphy three days later.

Cake tonight!

Yes, it crossed it in Las Vegas.  Jim Smart went for a ride with me on Saturday and we did the 9.6 miles that was needed to roll the odometer.  It was 100,000 at the 50th!   ;D

Congrats to you and Murphy.  I remember you discussing Murphy on the old UseNet Big Block Fords groups.  Being an original owner is something special.
I am the second owner of a 66 coupe, but one owner for 46 years Wow!

Congrats to you and your wonderful car. Your post jogged my memory that today (June 4th) is my car' birthday. I'm the second owner, and 2014 marks 40 years of ownership for me.
