Mine wasn't quite this model.  Think it was a Fleetwood, but a 4 door sedan.  That dark green was so dark it almost looked black.

Better to be judged by 12, then carried by 6.

Yeah...Jack sent me a website with all of the cars from the show.  There is no yellow Mustang, but a yellow Roadrunner/Sebring.  Maybe Dad was wrong and I've been liking the wrong cars all along??  LOL!!!!  Unless, I'm just not remembering the color correctly??  Either way, I still like Mustangs and would love to have another one.  cooldude

First one I bought for me that I wanted instead of what I could bolt together and get by with.

Yellow with white ragtop, saddle interior.
Base engine, M22 Rockcrusher 4 speed, and had a insane top end and didnt give much on the bottom. Never went over 135 indicated..... sober. I took a built nova on one evening at a light and the next day when he caught me he said it went a lot faster than that.

Sold it so I could eat in college. I should have gone with more Ramen noodles.


What year, 68,69, 70? Dad had a 70 Vette, like the picture. Love how it handled. He hardley drove it. Always had vac problems when he did. Mostly with the wiper cowl.
69, 68-69 had gills, the 70 and up had a chrome screen behind the front wheel. The wiper cowl would work on its own a lot, for the most part it would stay open, headlights worked all of the time, left was faster so I could wink it.
It was pretty well used when I bought it in 82, but it was a vette and it was mine. When I sold it it was a barn queen. Those things cost $$ to keep on the road and I didnt have any.
I was told when I got a motorcycle that I was having a mid life crisis. I told them that I was reserving my mid life crisis for another vette, the bike is a second childhood. The wife, without missing a beat, asked if that meant that I was done with the first one.

I liked the car but like you said it took $$ to keep it on the road. We spent many awinters working on it. But it could fly. I took it to work once when I was 16. Coming home on a straight away I would get it up to 120 mph with no problems. Didn't have the guts to go faster! He ended up selling it up in Auburn at Krue Auction for half what he paid and had in it.

Exactly. Great car, and actually pretty dependable and you could get into the engine compartment and DO things. It was also pretty darn good in the snow.
The basic maint was high though. The 4 disk brakes with 4 cylinders per wheel was a wonderful system for getting stopped, not real cheap to work on though and had a tendancy to freeze up and it was about 100.00 in parts to resleeve/caliper 20 years ago.

One of the favorite beaters was... Though mine was a earlier version. Haul poop in the day and a date at night.

However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results.
