My goodness gracious

One of my best friends in high school had a 1965 Mustang in its original green. Thing was mint. Then he had it painted navy blue, which I thought was a mistake. Then he sold it and bought a Ford Explorer, which almost seemed sinful. But living in Connecticut and it was more practical in the winter.

 

I love the movie Gone in 60 Seconds, until they destroy Eleanor. I shrieked in horror the first time I saw that. "You get the fucking crane away from that beautiful machine!"

 

Mickey Thompson set hundreds of speed and endurance records in a couple of Mach 1 Mustangs back in 1969.

In 2010, his son Danny did this:

You guys seem to be overlooking the main flaw of the Mustang.

It’s a Ford.

 

I'll see your Mustang and raise you Firebird.

 

Brought $192,500 Saturday night.

 

VIN ending in 01 auctioned off Friday night.
$1.1 million.

 

Was never crazy about the Camaro/Firebird of that era.

Loved, however, the '67 GTO




and the '68 Charger

 

Meh. The one you want is the Bullitt. Arranging a car chase through San Francisco’s scenic hills is up to you.

 

My dream car:

 

I would love to have an old Bullitt.

 

When I win lotto, I'm gonna go down t0 Scottsdale with 10 million and do a little shopping.
I'd buy a couple of the charity cars and donate it back for them to run it again.
I saw that a Toyota dealer spent 2.1 million on the 2020 Supra that was a charity car. Very cool.
