1968 Fun at the Petersen Auto Museum

[somethingspecial]

Had a great time at the Petersen Museum this weekend. Something Special was presented with great company, over 20 fantastic Mustangs of all generations and race history. The CS was back to back with a Boss 302 and across the the isle from the Lee Iacocca 45th Anniversary Mustang. John Kramen from Mecum Auctions told me the CS was his favorite pick of the whole exhibit. Made me proud. They have a barn find 65 Shelby GT 350 that was my favorite, as well as the original Elinore.

If you are in the L.A. area, I highly recommend a visit to the Museum, and make sure you take the Vault Tour. They wouldn't allow photos taken in the Vault, Sorry. Sunday they had a Mustang Show on the Parking Garage roof which started at Galpin Ford. Only one new model GT/CS though. My favorite of the car show was the Shelby de Mexico that showed up. Talk about crude!!!!!!!

Robinette fell in love with a new model supercharged Shelby GT500KR, however she still won't let me buy her one. $&#@!!!!!!!!! Probably for the best.

My favorite of the Mustang Madness car show on Sunday. The Shelby de Mexico.

Was that Shelby de Mexico, a heater delete car?

 

[somethingspecial]

Didn't really pay attention to that, but looking at the pictures, looks like it.

...I don't know, Ron... I'm beginning to have my doubts about this whole thing!

Personally, I think it's all a big plot to butter-up Mike into doing something with that "Gone in 60 Seconds" car!!

Holy is that were your car started from??????

 

[boris]

...Hopefully one of these days, Mike will get around to telling the whole story of his amazing S-code. It's about as "ground-up, full-circle, spiral to the top" amazing as it gets!

I want the side pipes!!! I think they would look great on my GNS whatever it is!!!! Gosh it could enhance the "cloner" build that someone suggested to me......

A lot of girl friends got burns from them. I guess it was a good test if she really liked you!

I have branded three who still talk to me (despite my tossing a fit for having to polish melted nylon from the pipes)

That is great! Loved that line when he is talking about your car..."Another way to tell that this is something special".

 

[clubpro]

What a great video clip on your car Mike! It is obvious that the gentleman describing your car really likes it and I understand why.

Cheers,

Ron
