67 Mustang - Happy 50th Birthday

[Darren390]

Happy 50th birthday to my Mustang today, built in Detroit on 12 December 1966. I decided a few weeks ago to put it into secure storage over the winter so I can put the Bullitt in the garage over the winter, so unfortunately I am not able to give it a birthday drive.

It has become part of the family now. I purchased it from Ohio in 2004, it went through a 4 year restoration between 2008-20012, was my wedding car in 2012, and has now done a few European trips. I have now and again thought about selling it, but would miss it to much if I did!

Anyway, here's a few pics of its development since 2004 -

Collecting from Chatham docks in September 2004.

Looking its worse during the restoration.

Small world! It's a shame the meets ended, they were always well attended with some fantastic metal on display.
