Jeff Wise's 2006 Ford Mustang GT
After 303K miles and 1 deer, Jeff Wise still loves driving his ’06 Mustang GT.
Jeff Wise’s 2006 Ford Mustang GT has over 303K miles on it since purchasing it new and using it as an everyday driver up until last September.
Jeff’s Mustang Story:
“My name is Jeff Wise. What makes the story of my Mustang special is that this 2006 4.6-liter Mustang GT is a true testament of Ford quality. Why do I say this? At 303,000-plus miles I am still running with the original engine, transmission, and clutch. Yes, clutch! Not a thing has been done to the drivetrain except for the normal maintenance such as fluid changes, spark plugs, etc.
“Well, maybe there was one change. At 272,042 miles I thought the clutch went out, but found out that the problem was actually that the clutch pedal broke. It was metal fatigue — the clutch was fine. Lastly, from a quality standpoint, was how long the original brakes lasted. The original rear set was replaced at 55,967 miles, or pretty normal. The original front brakes were replaced at 180,930 miles, which is not so normal. (I have all the service records to prove it.) This car was definitely ‘Built Ford Tough’.”
