Awards and EventsWorld of Wheels 2nd place Outstanding in class award and Rodders Rep Pick 2003 StoryMy dad and I found the car in 1993 and bought it for 300 bucks. It was a California car so it has never been cut up or did it have any rust. I was 15 when I got the car and I really did not want it. I really did not like older Mustangs back then. But my dad keep on me and I complained the whole time until the car started looking nice. I never imagined that it could look the way it does today. Now I will never part with it. Future goals right now are to get the big Baer brakes all around. I am hoping to do this in the winter of 2004. |
