An old Polaroid of my '65 from about 1971.

My 50 yr old daughter owned this now for 34 yrs. Her first car at 16. All original. My first restoration.

 

When straight line acceleration bores me , this one was built for both left and right turns.

 

Mustang Memories car show tomorrow at Ford World Headquarters.... Starts at 8:00 AM... 5 bucks to get in as a spectator.... Great show, bring the family and friends... Here's some pics from last year....

 

More pics.....

 

.....and a couple more...
Rain or shine... It's happenin' in Dearborn, Michigan....

 

I like the 66 Fairlane. I think Ford only built around 50 of them? The real excitement starts at the end of the car show when the late model Mustangs disperse on the streets.

 

The owner could have just replaced the 200-6 with a V8 but considered and alternative..runs on E-85 and so doesn’t seem to need an intercooler.

 

As delivered. I like the side exhaust and the plain steel wheels and Goodyear blue dots.

 

I had one growing up also 289 HiPo 4 speed coupe . Traded for 67 Fairlane 390 4 speed .

The White Fairlane 427 powered was a rare dude in the photos

 

Heres one i pulled out of a shed here in March 1984 . Well it was white . It had a 6 cylinder , 4 wheel studs and matching numbers with registration. At the time it was only 20 years old . Must have had a few careless owners.
The shed being a pig shed did,nt help either . Smelly.

 

Just wanna say the '69 R code air cleaner with the built in hood scoop was one of the coolest shakers to ever stick out of a hood. Chevy had the cold air package on the Z, but this was just badass!

 

Some pictures from this morning..... I was only there for a few hours... My knees started bothering me...

 

The end....

 

They also had T shirts on sale... This one is new from last year and it only cost 5 bucks.... So I bought 2 of them... The other one is red...

 

Looks like an A-code droptop...

 

My older sister when she was in high schools boyfriend had a ice blue dual quad 4 spd 67 Fare lane, it was nasty. Had magnum 500s on it, he used to run it at New England Dragway in NH. Oh to have it today! Would be fun! Great thread by the way !

 

From 2018 at the All Ford show at Knotts. 50th anniversary of the Cobra-Jet Mustang. Got to meet Al Joniec and say a couple words.

 

Nice I've got relatives in Livonia, Ann arbor ,and H

 

Local guy, that's me in the far lane

 

Small block chevy in this one

 

Local friend built this

 

That's wild

 

This was a wheel well cut drag car till about ten years ago it was totally restored and he has all documents in the trunk cool history but still has the nasty motor in her sounds real nice. He even let me sit in it . Very cool

 

Like the Astros? On it or Astras?

 

^^^ I called them "Astros" back then.
