Show notes

Today on Ford Mustang: The Early Years Podcast, we’re talking legacy—real legacy. Our guest has been riding in the same Mustang since 1966… yeah, you heard that right. Bought new by his mom, it officially became his in 1980, and over the decades, it’s evolved into something far beyond stock—rebuilt from the ground up with just a couple of original pieces still hanging on.

Highlighted moments

I've restored it probably four, five, six times because I would drive it. I would wreck it. I would fix it. I would drive it. I would wreck it. I would fix it.
I have handled every bit and piece on this car at one time, except for spraying it. But I've had it down to, you know, the unibody. I have rebuilt the motor once. A friend of mine and I did. It lasted 20,000 miles or so before I had to have somebody that knew what they were doing rebuild it.
