34 years ago today I put down $500.00 bucks down on a $2,500.00 '67 Mustang at a used car lot in Fullerton, Ca. in 1980. Three days later I was driving the coolest car in town, and still am today.
Man if it could only talk about the things we have done together over the last 34 years. The races, brurn outs, top speed runs, road trips, track time and yes off roading too. I have done a lot of crazy things with it. And still she kept on going. Now she gets pampered like the queen she is with a new paint job, new interior, new suspension, and the best of all, many new friends here on IMBOC.
This is also a sad day, in that after coming home with the down payment receipt for my '67 Mustang. I saw the news that Steve McQueen had passed away. I wanted the car from the first time I saw BULLITT as a kid. I wish I could have met him.
So, on this day I give thanks to Steve McQueen, Lee Iococca and FoMoCo for my Bullitt Mustang.
