The first muscle car I ever owned. Somehow, somewhere I found these photos of the 1968 Mustang. If you look carefully you will notice Kyle in front of the Mustang is also in the above photo of the Camaro and the MoviStar Telefonica (which is his bike), he is a long time friend. This is where I learned all my tire smoking antics:
