This 1965 mustang has been in my family since the early 70's when it was purchased by my grandfather for my father as a high school driver. This car had a dented fender and messed up front end when my dad got it the damage was from a crash.My grandfather payed $280.00 for it in 1972 and by my dads senior year it was fixed and painted bright red.This car is my most valuable possesion and its my passion i love to work on it. Theres nothing like pressing the gas and letting the clutch go hearing the squeel of the tires and the power beneath your feet. I hope to keep this car for as long as I can and one day pass it on to my son.PLEASE NO NEGATIVE COMMENTS I KNOW IT'S NOT DONE YET BUT I LOVE THIS CAR.
