The End of a Decade – The Mustang Era

Well one thing we can count on  for sure, is that things will always change.

For nearly  10 years my 1970 Mustang has been a great joy.  I’ve taken it from a 6 cylinder lady’s car (I say that purely because it was first owned by a lady, who in turn, handed it down to her daughter and it had some dainty pin striping) to a proud muscle car.

We suffered a couple flat-bed trips, a problematic carb and leaking power steering, an AC unit that got less miles per oz of coolant then the engine did in miles per gallon and invented some new cuss words!

We survived a few charity drag races and won a bunch street light mini drags, took home a couple of car show trophies and placed a lot of smiles on passerby faces and kids when I let them sit behind the wheel.

But things change and I’ve enjoyed my Mustang thoroughly.  But it’s time to move on so my Mustang is going to a new home, where it will enjoy the company of four other Mustangs.

I will miss the old steed but so proud of where it started and where it is now.

So fare well old friend…on to new adventures.

So what’s next for me?  Well there is my 1965 Bridgestone motorcycle and many more car shows and SCCA with the my C7 Vette and a surprise coming up….oh…no you are just going to have to wait to find out.

So stay tuned for some more mods, car shows, racing and classic/muscle car reading.

Thank you for reading.

    Sorry to see that Mustang go. I did catch the part about the C7
    vette!!!!. When are they available? I love the C7 and I don’t think
    the tailights look like a Camaro. LOL

    I want one but the price is too big considering pending retirement.
    I’ll have to be happy with my C4. I heard $50,500 for the base car
    but the content is awesome. I love the roadster best. I have an
    interior shot as my screen saver. Love that car.

    My brother had a Bridgestone years ago. Quite an awkward looking bike
    but they are collectable and look cool restored.

    Hey Tim, on May 4th in Nogales is a little High school car show. Interested? I took out the Corvair and tuned it up and pollished what I could, and she is ready. I want to put the bike in as well but I might need drivers.. Bring the Vet and let’s have lunch with Barb abd Jill.

    It’s going to a new home in Mid-West. The family collects Mustang and they didn’t have a ‘notch back’ as he called. There are 5 Mustangs in his collection.

    I’m sad. I saw the Mustang the day you bought it and watched it transform. So, who bought it? Did it sell on eBay?

Let me hear from you!!! Drop a note!!
