Thats probably a good guestamate. I think there are a number of them sitting in people's garages that haven't seen the light of day for 10-15 years. And they havent' come up for sale or been registered.

car girl, you have one?

Welcome, Car Girl !
I think they are talking about me!
I have 2 1990 final year ascMcLaeren 'Verts retired in storage.
One has the highest Ford VIN and thre other in one of 2 "25th Silver Anniversary Editions made at the end. One with 2,300 miles, the other with 8,000 miles. Overthe years, I hve located 3 with lower miles than mine. I'd say about 60 percent of the originals are still alive & running, but of those, 30% are in "show" condition and of the 30% 10% have under 10,000 miles on them/
Sandy passed away in 2012. He will be forever missed.

That's good to know, the number of survivers that is.

Yes I have one. My triple threat in blue is car number 566. This may sound strange but, if I met a man who made me as happy as the MC does I might be married. :lol:

Hey Mike,

Where is the pix of your Mc? I see a Mach but no MC.

So what do you drive to keep the miles off of the Mustangs?

if you click on the album button at the bottom of my post you'll be able to check out my pics. you can post your pics when you have them in your album that way we can see your car when you post and such.

My mustangs are very occasional driver trailer queens. I try to hit as many shows on the west coast as i can. not too many McLarens out here so its fun trying to educate people. :wink: I have an '06 F150 King Ranch pickup to get me around daily.

Wow that white is awesome!

Ok, I just can not resist.... speaking of shows on the west coast ... Have you heard about the Mustang Round UP in Bellevue WA? It is a MCA Grand National show this year. Word on the street is they are expecting 3 or 4 thousand cars. Oh my gosh, that is what I call a Party!

Mustangs Northwest do a very good show. I believe this is the 23 annual
Round-up.

thank you. yes it is very bright!

Yes i have heard about that show and i will be there for the Grand Nationals. I met Jeanie at the national show in van nuys last august, i want to say she is either the president of the club or maybe the show chair? I have already made reservations in Bellevue. I actually have family up there and bought my McLaren years back in bellingham, wa.

are you planning on going? If you have been to their show in the past, have you seen any McLarens on the show field. would be nice to have some backup ya know. :wink:
