We went out to dinner this weekend with some friends. They are not car nuts but seemed mildly interested, nothing more, in our Gt/CS. Sara insisted we take the mustang. As we were driving we commented that they were likely one of the few people that had ever sat in the back seat since Walter and his mother (the PO's) were so reclusive and never had other family (or friends).
As we pulled into the parking area someone said "nice mustang!" and as we got out of the car the two people asked if they could bother us with some questions and said they loved the car. "Was it a real CS?", "was it original", "how long had we owned it?". They seemed interested enough that we gave them a quick version of the "reclusive millionaire" history. What was even more fun was that the minute we started talking about it one of the guys said, "this is THAT car!!" He had read the story and interrupted us to tell his friend the whole story that he had read on the internet about reclusive Walter, his millions in gold coins and his mustang. He acted as if he had just met a celebrity (the mustang)...lol. He went on to say that he loved mustangs and has owned a 1965 and several others. Before we parted he asked us if we would be interested in having it considered for movies? He's works for the motion pictures studio mechanics union in ATL. Gave us his card and asked us to email him.
Very likely nothing will come of the movie thing but what a fun conversation and as we walked away our friends seemed just a bit more impressed with our tired little mustang :smile: and I later thanked Sara for insisting that we take the car to dinner.
