Is that a Shelby?

I miss little bits of it, like how I miss my first dirt bike or street bike. I didn't have it in my heart to do the car again after I spent about a month thinking about it. Don't know how to explain it other than it was time to go. My dad loved everything he ever bought up to the day he died. I've sold 29 cars and motorcycles that were in his personal collection, and every one of them minus the most recent purchases were in far worse shape than the day he brought them home. I still have a mustang waiting for me to install the new engine harness and BigStuff3 when I get the desire to work on it again. I've replaced the Regal with a 91 extended cab S10 and bought some parts for it for when I get to working on it as well. But in this being the 20th year to the month and nearly day I've done auto repair as a living, my desire to work on things comes in stages. Right now though is the start of boating season.


On a side note, I sold the car to a guy in Dallas, he put a 383 and 3 speed auto from a 60's chevy truck he had in it (no, it wasn't NayNay). He traded the car to a guy in Pilot Point (21 miles or so south of Whitesboro where I work), and I had a few friends that sent me screenshots of his FB or craigslist ads. A close friend of mine (literally lives 3 miles from me) ended up trading a car for my old Regal and Pontiac. He offered the car back to me that same day, I declined respectfully and he ended up selling it to a local wrecker service / car dealer we are friends with. That guy pulled the motor and the then busted trans and sold the car as a roller at the swap meet. It's new home is somewhere near Greenville (unless it's sold again) and supposedly would be making trips to Sanger for some drag racing.

Any idea who has it near Greenville? I may know them and could get updates

I never got a name. It was a father & son from what I was told, and they had a regular race car. The son eats, sleeps, dreams about cars. They were going to drop a drivetrain in it for the boy to tinker with and race some.

I'm still a lil unsure with the 20 badges, stripes and all.

Their new slogan should be


Ford: Damn Proud.

I kind of dig that. But it is probably best that it rusts away into oblivion.

The guy is trying to figure out if his is one of the 50 "Mustero" Mustangs built in '65/66. Might be a really cool thing to save. I think it looks pretty good myself!

looks like an old school FRC C5

[LaserSVT]

Ya know it kinda does. lol

It's kind of cute, but not what I would want out of a '66 Mustang. Plus, it seems like you'd crater your melon on that C pillar just about every time you try and get in/out of it.
