I bought it with 87K original miles on it from a little old lady (no, really) in 1998. Since then I have completely restored it and put another 55K miles on it. It has won 25 awards for excellence at various car shows and has been featured in a newspaper article as well as serving as a prop in a San Francisco Brides magazine pictorial (the bride and groom's getaway car) and being one of the month cars in a 2011 Mustang calendar. IMHO, this is the last of the first generation Mustangs that still looked like the original Mustang concept. The front end still has the deep set headlights in the front fender extensions characteristic of the breed, and the car still shares the same wheel base and floor pan with the original 1965 Mustang. In April, 2009 we took it on a caravan with Mustangs Across America from home (Fremont, CA then) to Birmingham, AL for the 45th anniversary of the introduction of the Mustang put on by the MCA (Mustang Club of America). The car did the whole 5,200 mile trip without a mechanical problem. We did get caught in a wind downburst on the way home east if Rawlins, WY, however, that sandblasted my poor baby and required about $7K in paint, chrome, stainless and glass. It also survived a snow storm in central Nevada on that trip that had us running in heavy white stuff from Battle Mountain, NV to Reno. The first photo is just before the sandblasting and the third photo is when it was repainted as a result. The car had zero rust when they stripped it to bare metal. It's a great car.

Daily driver. Original matching numbers car, just rebuilt and dressed up in chrome. Some period mods like AC, disk brakes, power brakes, torque trust wheels, plus a modern radio. I am enjoying this car every day.

I couldn't stand a couple things on the car to begin with. One is the fake scoop on the rear quarters, so I had those replaced with '70 quarters(no fake scoops). The other was the sloppy steering. A Borgeson gearbox kit fixed it right up!

Bilen var orginalt gussjegrønn så jeg valgte å skifte farge når jeg fikk den lakkert. Motor var en V8- 302cid. Sinnsykt delig lyd. Kan anbefales for alle som har et hjerte for biler. Jeg hadde den fra 1999 til 2001
