I sure miss my 78 Pony. Had the 302 V8 auto and air. Sunroof. Fun car to drive. Bought her in 1992 for $850. Drove her for 2 years till the oil pump went out. And you know the rest...lost storage....had to part out....(Did make $1200 on the part out and still have the 3 spoke sport steering wheel). So I made a model kit of her, but as you can see, wrong tires and missing the sunroof. Plans call to rebuild that model kit with all the details right. But it was very cool seeing Fresh Cherries come out with a stock Mustang II hatch.....and in black!!!! I do have another one that needs to be taken apart and paint the interior tan. The brown coupe on the other side was owned by a chief who worked next door to the photo lab I worked at, his was a 76 2.3 auto. Hope someday I find another Mustang II, would love to restore it just like the one that I lost.

And here I thought I loved every Mustang on the planet.

Ain't it the truth..........!

FYI..... The sticker price for my 99 V6 (w/auto) Mustang was $18,500......$27,649 in todays dollar. A new base V6 (w/auto) 2017 Mustang is $26,380.

Art is the man! Thanks for the info.

I just thought about that....isn't the TT just a stronger frame and rear axle? Also I think the Schiller's van is a Model T as the TT came out in 1917? I think the photo I showed is from 1914?

Sweet, I'll stop by my local one. THX

Looks like a great start. I should be able to mod the body a bit. $8 a piece, WOW! I do have 6 local hobby stores here in St. Louis and I bet one of them has it. Thanks guys!!

So guys I'd like to replicate the Model TT shown in this pic. The camera store/lab I work at has been in business since 1892 and some time in the mid teens this photo was taken. What kit, if any, should I get to start this project? Thanks!

That was when I lived in South St. Louis, wish I still lived there as I have no garage now. The Mustang show was the 50th B-Day celebration in Charlotte, NC. I finished my restoration 2 days before I drove there.....LOL

Me and my cat Shelby send thoughts and prayers to you and your family.

RIP Professor Hawking.

Monte Bella!!!!!!!

The empty parts sprue's (great roll cage material).

Very unique and way cool!

That is one masterful piece of art!

Very sad to hear. BIG fan of MASH, I watch the entire series once a year on DVD (No laugh track!!). Also collect anything MASH.....

I lost interest in NASCAR after Mark Martin retired.

According to the link below from the Ford Total Performance book that is Shelby #5S065 and the alloy wheels were designed by Peter Brock.

Love those cars. My Mom and Pop got married the same year the Edsel came out. I asked him if he liked them and he said "Nope, I thought the Mercury was a better looking car for less money". Side note my Pop is and always has been a Ford guy.

1988 5.0 AOD Factory option 3:06 rear. Power mirrors but manual windows/seats. Bought her in 2002 and drove her everyday till 2012 and I had to rebuild her for the Mustang 50th. Did all the work in my driveway. Engine has never been touched, just oil changes, 199,800. 1985 2.3 C3. Got him 2009. At least I had a garage to paint him in....LOL Got that steering wheel when I turned 18, this is the 4th car to wear it. 1999 3.8 Auto. 128,000 Paid $700 (helps I bought it from my nephew who bought it from my Pop, the original owner since new, I still have the window sticker) Good old reliable......1996 Vic. A $500 cheap ride. Plans include, rebuild the suspension and brakes, duel exhaust and tint.

I'll get some some shots together and post in the "what-you-drive" thread. I also have a 96 Crown Vic as a daily driver.

This would be a good "get back to building" project I have been looking for. I'm thinking a older Mustang with a straight six. I'll see what I can come up with.

Wonderful upgrade.......stunning build!
