Great vehicle profile - love the Background story. Looking forward to seeing the journey here in the build thread.

 

[302 Hi Pro]

Very nice.

Love the back story! My to little boys when I ask them about the mustang just say “mustang goes ROOM ROOM!!!” Gotta love little kids. Can’t wait to see more of your build! Car looks great

Only have one grandson, but he loves Grandpa's car and says it is the loudest car in the World! Heh, who am I to argue with him and thankfully none of the tracks I run do noise checks, ha. Great story and as another GP I appreciated the history and it looks to me like that was the best 20 bucks you ever spent?!

Great car. Great Story. Somewhat similar to mine except I did own a '69 Boss 302 and buying a '12 was in the cards. Hopefully you Kona Blue beauty will be around for your grandson to enjoy someday.

Great Pic!

Dying to know the back story that sent the right side airborne.

Please opine.

Barber, as I recall, he just got up on the curbs and a photog was there at the exact right moment. It's hard on stock K members though
