The podcast episode featured Mike Clemens, who shared the story of his 1965 Fastback Mustang from the movie "The Bucket List." Mike explained how the car was purchased for the film and later sold, only to be reacquired 15 years later. He detailed the car's modifications for the movie, including a roll bar and square tube steel for the sideswipe scene. Mike also discussed his passion for classic Mustangs, having owned three similar cars before this one.
Highlighted moments

“they actually then rebuilt the car. And in a fairly quick fashion, they put some body filler on the back panel, which squirted through into the trunk and all the little pigtail squirts of body filler are still there in the car after they pulled the dents out of it.”
“It broke the latch on the back door, rolled down the ramp, went across three lanes of traffic on the expressway and came to a rest, um, without hitting anything.”
