Hey folks I'm a newbi, I would like to introduce myself, my name is Scotti, I have rebuilt several cars (20ish) over the years and my mustang phase was the best years of my life. Unfortunately there was some heart break in those years as well, which made me walk away from the Stang world for awhile. Currently I'm restoring vintage Range Rovers. I have restored a few Mustangs over the years, starting with a Shelby G.T. 350, which I found sitting in a guys back yard in the early 80's. I did a 70 fast back, a 65 coup and a 66 fast back. All of these projects were done in the 80's..
Yesterday I drove to my mothers house, (several hours away) to visit, and to see an uncle, who I have not seen for 35 years. During the visit, my uncle told me he has a Mustang which he purchased from the original owner, 20 years ago. Unfortunately, while driving it, he hit something on a back country road which caused some damage to the front end, so he parked it, 15 years ago! To make a long story short (to late) He asked me if I wanted it, and of course I said yes. He then said it was a red GT California Special, 100% complete..
He and his wife fly home tomorrow and will be sending me photos, so I'll post them up at that time.
I feel like a kid waiting to open the Cracker Jacks box..:grin:
