I used to play in a 1968 Meadowlark yellow with black standard interior Mustang coupe when I was 5..... I bought the duplicate of that car last year. I didnt set out for that, it just ended up that way.

Two days ago... I just purchased the 1967 Fairlane 500 my parents bought in April of 1967. The car has been here in town... and, I broke down and bought it just to keep it off the tote the note lot.

I'm a Mustang guy... however, its a good car with 57,000 miles. Its a neat story, and I'll have fun with it for a little while. I'll probably sell it because I have 2 parking places, and three cars... however, its pretty cool to have my dads name in the owners manual.

:wink:
