During this exceptionally long, snowful and cold winter that we have experienced I haven't spent too much time in the garage. Instead I have consulted my friend with his project strengthening and replacing the floor pans of his '67 FB. I'll have to document that some day.
I have kept up the conversation with Destiny's last owner in the new continent every once in a while. He has told me a lot but could not recall the name and whereabouts of the previous owner. So if I want to find out the earlier history of this secretary's Mustang I'll have to consult the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles by filling and mailing the application for title history search.

Determined and ready to waste the expected 25 € for obtaining a check for the needed $5 fee, I entered my bank's office just to hear that they had stopped selling checks two years ago. Unbelievable. I decided to take my chance and attached a 10 dollar bill to my application and sent it over. Seven weeks later I was lucky to find a letter in my mailbox. Inside was a screen print of a title transaction with very little new information. Maybe I should have checked Photocopy of Original RMV-1 Application
Here's a little sample of what I got :

No previous Title number to continue the search with. The only new information was the Reg # 65BT44 and the odometer had 84900 miles fifteen years ago. By the end of 2007 it had only 92200 meaning that Tom drove an average of less than 700 miles yearly. Tomorrow is the first official day of spring and I sure do have to start preparing Destiny for the season. This year we're gonna beat Tom's average.
