mustangcobramike's 1979 Ford Mustang Burnout at the end of a car show/ Main Ave show in the spring in Clinton Iowa. The neighbors around that area hate us for the burnout's, TOO BAD!

mustangcobramike's 1979 Ford Mustang Rainy day at Riverboat Days car show. got caught in the rain. Usually never drive it in the bad weather. I don't even drive my 06 Mustang GT in bad weather either, that's what my 97 beater Escort is for.

mustangcobramike's 1979 Ford Mustang This car has the original paint and only has 27,000+ miles on it. I bought it when I was 19, now I'm 48. Lots of memories in this ride! It's like a time machine every time I get in it.
