WHAT A TRIP
The Car
My Mustang........1964 1/2 Ford Mustang.......... Manufactured June 30th, 1964
Paint Oxidized and dull..... Vinyl top OK..... Engine rebuilt in 1997.....
Mustangs passed that were on trailer, Lots and Lots.....Years owned 25
The Drive
11 days....3112 miles.....53 hours driving time.....Time on side of the road 0..... Parts replaced, 1 ignition points set, $8..... Time lost because of repair 0..... Cruising speed on highway 70 mph
This was a wonderful trip. I have always wanted to take a long road trip in a classic car. The birthday celebration was great because there were show cars, race cars, and a few plain old drivers, like mine. I like historic racing and hanging around the paddock at the races, and track and paddock were full of cars I love. The lectures, arranged by Ford, had the guys who designed the '65 thru '04 Mustangs as some of the speakers. The guy that designed the 65-66 (Gale Halderman) drew the car on his kitchen table the night before the deadline. They picked his design and that made his career. He was also responsible for the 67-68 and the 69-70 Mustangs, which I think were the 3 best designs. This was a great bucket list trip and I haven't had so much fun since the hogs ate my brother.
