Those were the days when you could work on motors. No computer stuff. Who else would buy a new car today if they made it like in the 60's/70's? Just add airbags and abs. Certainly would be much cheaper than the $30k they charge for entry-level cars today.

Only thing I would add is electronic ignition

I like that fastback. Mine was standard body. What were we thinking?

Mine looked almost identical to yours. Same color and everything.

I ended up rolling mine a couple of times racing a 71 Camaro SS. Sad part I was ahead of him.

Man that's a tough one.

Funny story. I have these 2 cousins who are brothers, and the younger brother talked the older brother into letting him borrow his '68 Mustang to take to Panama City...This was around '70...He drove it all the way down there and then totaled it. Ouch...Fast forward to last year on the older brother's birthday, the younger brother showed up driving an identical '68 in mint condition. He never forgot what he had done and obviously had made a promise to himself to someday make it up to his big brother. It was the coolest thing. LOL

That’s a great story and one hell of a good brother.

We used to say about Panama City “we ain’t leavin’ til we’re heavin’” and “Go on vacation, leave on probation”

That 302 is about priceless now...
