Triggersmob,
I certainly hope your friend returns to good health. Something will get us eventually, but modern medicine gives us a much better shot at extra years to live our lives. So, Good Luck to your friend.
I can't find words to describe my love for my Mustang. I so wish I had never sold it. The car was so successful, I just figured Ford would continue making the same design. They didn't.
I went into our Ford dealership here in Delta, and had the dealer design the exact car I wanted. 1968 Mustang convertible. Metallic blue with a black top and racing stripe. Also hood louvers. 402. The wife and I walked down to Ford one day and happened to be there as the car was being delivered. I can still feel the thrill. Absolutely one beautiful car. Cost me $2600.00 as I recall.
I traded it off for two reasons. First, our family was getting started and I thought a station wagon would be better for kids. Secondly, I assumed the same type of car would continue to be build. It was of course, but the design changed.
I have only one or two pictures of the car, but one of these days I'll post one.
My Goodness, how I loved that car!
If I ever won a huge lottery, a 1968 Mustang is the first thing I'd buy, even before that 1909 S vdb.
Of course I have to buy a ticket in order to win, and I haven't done that for a long time.
