    'Had to do it!...

    Thank you P51 and Mustanger Very Much!! The tire shop couldn't locate a complete set of the Goodyear's (2-here, 3-there...) and the Firehawk Indy 500s were backordered all over the country in that size. They wouldn't' have been able to get here soon enough and the shipping $$ would be high.. I...

    Mach Tires... ...I'm having alot of trouble finding BF Goodrich Radial T/As (my favorite) in P235 60/R15. Three shops have looked & can only find one set of five in an Arizona warehouse. I'm hesitant to get them b/c of rarity in case I need to replace one or two later on... What would you...

    What was your first car?

    My first "driver" was a '72 Datsun 510. 'First purchased was a '66 Mustang coupe that was a "six" fitted w/ a 289 2v. I traded it a year later for a spotless '69 Sportsroof w/ 302 C4. 'Sold that & bought what is now Mike's GT/CS 390 4- spd. and later the '69 Mach I 351W FMX I still have...

    'Had to do it!...

    ...OK - I'll bend the rules: "joedls" and 'david athens" can apply if they bring their (supercharged and 12 sec. respectively) cars for me to drive :-) 'Also want to say how nice it was having Mike along when we did an extended test drive of the '70 Mach I which was non-opped w/ yr. 2000 tags...

    Indeed, I bring one in every (clear) day. The 390 being alot of fun on the highway. 'Just a little tap on the pedal & you blast around anyone in front of you! I also keep it handy here for Mike ("somethingspecial") to view as he's on the latter stages of restoring his magnificent 390 4-spd...

    ...The mirrors on my other CSs are consistant with the info Arlie provided. They have the push tab at the bottom as opposed to the lever shown above. 'Looks as tho the mirror on my 390 may not be "factory", tho same shape and design opposite of the glass. The glued portion is natural metal...

    'Had to do it!...

    Rhonda, I don't know all the technical history or stats about it. Only that it's a cast iron cased intermediary between the C4 and C6. I put over 230K miles on my yellow 351W Mach and found it able to take alot of abuse. It's never failed me... I'm curious now too, perhaps some other folks...

    ...Saw that movie many times. That one and the end of "Saving Private Ryan" were among the few movies that captured the true essence (and sound) of low flying P-51s! Check out my "Off Topic" post here "worlds fastest motorsport" for more pics...
