    1968 Well, I just bought the "7 million in gold and 1 GT/CS" car

    Wow, Nate that is very interesting and really helpful information. Must have been Walter himself who you talked to. Did the car look pretty clean? Love the fact that his mother had the scoop put on the car!

    1968 Well, I just bought the "7 million in gold and 1 GT/CS" car

    Hadn't thought about the bug deflector and hood scoop combination...lol As for price, I haven' mentioned for several reasons: - I may not be ready to reveal the real sucker that I am - I somehow want to know a bit more about the condition before I reveal that -I know NOTHING about these cars...

    Of course I'm joking. The Lime Gold stays.

    Thanks. It does look pretty clean but ya just never know. I'll be interested to check out that hood scoop. I suspect it's been on there for a long time. I understand that DieselDonna has the rights to Lime gold so will be ordering up a red re-paint as soon as I get it back here.

    Thanks. I think there is a reason you've never seen one on a mustang before! Definitely will keep it if it comes off the car. Will take plenty of picture before that.

    1968 Well, I just bought the "7 million in gold and 1 GT/CS" car

    Yes, the bug deflector is a classic. I can't decide if I take it off or leave it on....just because it was part of the history. Frankly not sure I can stomach leaving it on. Thanks for the nice comments about the car. Shipping is hopefully the end of next week. Will be shipping it to my...

    1968 Well, I just bought the "7 million in gold and 1 GT/CS" car

    Thanks. I'll keep you all informed. I tracked down the car by contacting the County Clerk who was handling the estate. He was quoted in the articles so I emailed him and asked how they planned to sell the car. He said they were going to do an open auction so I just submitted my bid to him...

    Thanks, Neil. Happy to let you know when it is in Atlanta and I have it sorted. May be a couple of months. Not at all sure what I'm getting into yet. Thanks. I'll be interested to look at that argent rear panel as I know it is highly likely that this is repainted. I'm completely unsure as...

    Anyone in Carson City, NV?

    Thanks. I had been looking for an original mustang for my wife and the story behind this one was very unique. Could be a money pit since it has been sitting but I'm a sucker for a good challenge to bring an old car back. My hope is that it is good enough to leave original. I'd much prefer an...

    Anyone in Carson City, NV?

    One interesting thing I noted from the few poor pics that I received is that the rear light panel is painted argent silver. Hasn't there been some question as to whether any of these cars came with the argent paint from the factory? Thankss

    Anyone in Carson City, NV?

    Hi Nate. I just purchased the one that has been discussed....the guy who died with the gold in his house. Purchased is sight unseen so will be interesting to see what I have. I live in Atlanta so will be a couple of weeks before I am able to get it back here. Will keep you all informed. I...
