<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bing, post: 2088569, member: 44132&quot;]It&#039;s the third 1967 Mustang GT Convertible I&#039;ve restored.&nbsp; Some more than others, but my favorite was my first.&nbsp; I painted it Brittany Blue, black interior, 289 four barrel carb.&nbsp; I sold it to a guy in Ireland who had it shipped to the emerald isles and almost immediately crashed and totaled the car.&nbsp; I was sent pictures of my baby by the guy who bought it for parts at a junk yard.</p><p><br /></p><p>My second and third were both candy apple red convertibles, both GTs with 289 engines.&nbsp; However, the middle car had three single carbs and could move like a scalded cat.&nbsp; I&#039;d have to dig out pics since I do not have any digital images of any during restoration or completion.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can&#039;t do these any longer.&nbsp; Too much work and it&#039;s gets more expensive each time.&nbsp; And to add insult to injury, I have never been able to get the price that would make me break even not counting many hours by an expert mechanic (me).&nbsp; In 1989 I almost purchased a 1969 Boss 429 Mustang with only 37 miles on the odometer. Never driven, always garage kept out in Idaho.&nbsp; I thought he was asking too much at $55K, but two years later he sold it at auction in Phoenix for near $100K.&nbsp; Bad judgment on my part.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now coins are my only hobby and since they didn&#039;t have cars in the first century BC, how about an older means of transportation with something really wicked under the hood:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]390565[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]390564[/ATTACH] </p><p>M.
