not a ragtop, but it were spiffy

This was your car? What year? Love the rims.

I've always wanted a vintage Mustang.

I've not given up the idea of having one.

Your 'Black Pearl' is muy bonita! Shiny, too! Is it loud?

That Guy~ I would also love one of those little puppies! Cruising around the 'hood? That sort of thing? Love it! Living this close to the border, we see a lot of really tiny vehicles, we hope they bring them over. Mini trucks, suvs, soooo cute. {probably not a guy term but they are!}

yes, was my car.
1966 coupe with a bench seat. sweet car. almost bone stock except the rims. /sigh

my best friend since gradeschool had one when we were growing up. as people are known to do, he had a son (two, but its the eldest in this story). his son was surely his fathers child and had an instant love for cars...specifically mustangs like his fathers.

I had this one. at the age of 8, he told me he would buy my car when he turned driving age and asked me how much I wanted. I said "sure" and pulled some number out of my &*%# and watched his eyes bug out at the thought.

ahead 8 years...no mention of that conversation ever arises

I go over for his 16th birthday party. he takes me aside telling me he wanted to talk to me.
grinning like a cheshire cat, he hands me, in cash, the amount I said 8 years before. nice fat stack of $100 bills and says "I want my car"

how could I not sell it to him?


...and yeah, Pearl is loud as *(%$ and fast as 773H

And my Mickey floor lamp arrived today. I just finished assembling it. Neener neener.

Cool story - I am glad someone who truly wanted it ended up with it!

[MouseWife]

I agree with Kevy Baby, great that you did sell it to him. Probably a dream come true for him.

And just the rims aren't stock? Damn, I also knew a family who had a 'fleet' of Mustangs. Even a 1964 1/2 one. Aren't those rims called 'Centerlines' or something like that? I remember my friend would say 'That's what I'm getting for my car, yep, that's what I'm getting'. I don't think she ever did, though.

Does the boy still have it? And is it still hot?

[Capt Jack]

oh yeah, he's still got it. I attended his HS graduation last friday (wow, so I guess it really was more than 'last year'). he sent me this pic last month sometime




he, like most HS gearheads has made his own set of 'mods' to it, but still looks as good as ever. better in some respects. great "kid"

yeah, centerlines and some decent radials is about all I ever did to it other than repair/restore work.

My mother's boyfriend (it is weird calling him that - they live together and having been "dating" for 30 or so years) has sitting in his garage a 56 Vette with removeable hard-top (or did they all have that?). It is all original and has about 25,000 miles on it. He has not even started it in about 25 years. He FINALLY started restoring it a couple of years ago and it is his pride and joy. Can't wait to see the finished product. I wonder what kind of insane offers he will get for it once completed?

[BarTopDancer]

This has been obtained.
