    C/S on E-bay

    ...It's location in Sunnyvale, CA (SF Bay Area) might make it easy for someone here to go look at it. The $18K "Buy it Now" doesn't seem unreasonable to me for such a well-optioned car restored or not. Neil, you bring up some excellent points with your "picky(ness;-)

    "Thunder in the Sky" 2008!...

    Fun with warbirds... ...as Renee and I took our Mustangs out on the ramp for some photos. We then wound up giving our own Mustang rides up & down the taxiways to some of the pilots and organizers. This included a couple of impromptu drag races with Yak 11 pilot (Kent) driving Renee's car ;-)...

    My 1st parade

    ...We get that all the time. 'Lots of comments ie; "there's one of those Shelby coupes, Shelby California Special etc... It's understandable that the announcer would get it wrong unless you filled out a separate info card. The masses only go by the scoops & tail lights on the '68s. Not much...

    ...Arlie, is that the sort of cemetery where they recycle you into the ground to make the corn bigger? I mean; no headstones, just irrigated & plowed fields... Should we rope it off & look for Hoffa?? ;-)

    Big Trouble!...

    Thanks Neil (and everyone:-) Indeed, taking it apart is one thing, but learned habits in getting her back together properly and methodically will be the most fun. We're doing everything mechanical, but will fore go an expensive paint job for the time being due to typical high school parking...

    "Thunder in the Sky" 2008!...

    Renee, The P-51s based at Edwards were used by N.A.C.A. for high speed aerodynamic testing of future X-plane models (that were affixed to the wing) among other things. Several of them were fitted with the high vertical tail that was standard on the "H" models for greater stability. One of the...

    NEED Some Help Please

    ...As you're going to look at it - please give us the VIN number and door tag info, plus any photos for starters. We can at least determine what powertrain, interior, colors, etc... the car was produced with. The Marti report will verify if it is a true GT/CS. Once you jot down the VIN#...
