    Scott, Why do you torture me like that?? Indeed, the Hurricane was the main reason for success of the battle of Britain, but the Spitfire was more sexy and thus, received more credit. That's a beautiful specimen!

    Thank You :-) This one had a 351C w/ Ram Air. I'm not sure the 390 was still available in 1970, or was that just in Mustangs?

    ...And what a nice '66 it is; 289 4v and solid as a rock! I really hate to see it go! In addition, here's a few more photos of TJ. This was the first car show where he got to drive alone and the '70 Mach was significant because he learned of it being for sale at this same show three years...

    Marty, the only drawback is that you don't dare run your dust mop across the car after sitting for an hour or two like at most shows. The micro-droplets of pine sap from those trees tend to smear while contaminating your mop. A role of clean towels, detailing and window sprays and about...

    Many interested people stopped by with stories ranging from a GT/CS recently given to a couple in Yuba City they wish to restore (gave 'em Ron's business card) to a seemingly knowledgeable guy who inspected a neglected R-code GT/CS owned by an old couple in the Bay Area who is a neighbor of his...
