Don't let the "soft" color fool you. This car is "hard" on the highway! 

     It was "love at first sight" during the summer of 2001 when I first laid eyes on her. The original owner was looking for a buyer and I had my eyes on a 66 Fastback. However, the jaw dropping, baby blue convertible caught my attention and it was over!

This 1966 Ford Mustang has been in the family ever since and a lot of time and love has been put into her. 

First, I replaced the gaskets and repaired the a/c. It was summer, remember? And I was ready to ride. With new paint, interior, and rebuilt front/rear end, she was ready for the road. Oh and did I forget to mention that she has a 289 Hi-Po engine which makes her purr like a lion?

     Unfortunately, in 2013, the first, and hopefully last,  mishap occurred which brought a mere sadness to me. It slowed down our ride time together. The rear quarter panel and the driver's door was totally destroyed. 

     Thankfully, a year later, the quarter panel and door was repaired, and the entire car was repainted. For her recovery gift, I upgraded the motor: new lunati cam, E-7 cylinder heads, and msd ignition. Currently, I have upgraded the transmission from a C-4 to a Tremec  3550, 5 speed. hey, I'm a car guy!!!

Let's just say, this baby blue mustang is my baby...just don't tell my wife!
