Wayne in NJ Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 ...had a good 'excuse': had to drive about an hour, (from home, 35 minutes from where the car is stored), to get a quart of Wimbledon White mixed for the resto shop to perform some touch up work. (The paint guy wanted to see the car to make sure the mix is as close as possible). Took a short little while to get her started, (been sitting about a month), but once she kicked in, she was fine the rest of the day! 'Floating' down the road on those bias ply tires is always a treat! ;^) It's the epitome of the 'Secretary's Car' (Hey, I LIKE secretaries), White ext/red interior coupe. 170 CI 6, auto. Restored to 'as-delivered' condition, 30 years and three owners ago! Featured in January '97 Mustang Monthly, won two concourse driven gold, and AACA National First place in '91. I've tried to post photos, but am failing miserably! (Will attempt again) DIDN'T WORK...AGAIN... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne in NJ Posted November 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 I believe THIS did it! @ the Wings & Wheels Show in Teterboro, last Spring, BTW. (My Mustang is on the left, BTW)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Boss Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Right on Wayne. Same era as my '64 Falcon V8 convertible. I didn't drive mine this year at all, but did nearly complete my 10-15 year long bucket seat project! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19again Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 It's always sad to put them away for the winter. Great looking car! Be sure to drive it more next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne in NJ Posted November 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 Pop took it out for a 5 mile spin, yesterday (Thanksgiving). That and the Redskins winning, made it a good Holiday! ;^) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUFDRAFT Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Great pics of the Mustangs! (including the 51!). One of the benefits of living here is year-round seat time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeljgt500kr Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 My daughter is driving her '64 1/2 before bad weather sets in too, except she lives in Cali and it is never bad weather :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denstang65 Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 My daughter is driving her '64 1/2 before bad weather sets in too, except she lives in Cali and it is never bad weather :happy feet: I have that same problem, too! I live in Cali and never have bad weather either. By the way, I need to go and drive my car now and all day before I have to park it for the night; have to go to bed some time (he,he) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne in NJ Posted November 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Storm surge, on the other hand..... (only once every 100 years, though...on average) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torch40 Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Very nice. You just can't beat the ride of those tires for easy cruising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTH391 Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Absolutely beautiful! Maybe because I grew up with an anemic straight six, automatic Mustang - but I really like them. I recognize the need for a performance aspect but really like the simplicity of the six. Works great for teaching my 13 year old about working on engines. Wayne - love it! Looks great! BTW - I drove mine this weekend and "mixed in" the Sta-Bil beofre putting them to bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
