....You know its way too fast to be crawlin on these interstate roads...

1966 Ford Mustang

I was in Cleveland County, NC recently and a young friend of mine was eager to show me his new old car.  It's a 1966 Ford Mustang in excellent condition.  A former owner had painted it this "I think I'm going to throw up magenta", but my friend and his dad are going to restore it to its original cherry red color.  It reminds me of Chuck Berry's song My Mustang Ford where he sings about his cherry red mustang.  (You can listen to it on You Tube)

The interior is in excellent condition. 

Gas tank cap at rear of car.

Wes and his new set of wheels.

He and his dad are going to restore it to its original cherry red.

This is going to be too pretty to drive to school when he gets his driver's license in December and "way too fast to be crawlin on these interstate roads".  Be careful, but have fun Wes!

I'm reposting this for Wesley.  Happy Birthday Wesley.

I get off on '27 Chevys...(With apologies to Eric Clapton)

Tracy MacLean and his '27 Chevy.

Whenever our car needs an oil change or whenever I have the urge to go antiquing, I head over to Tracy MacLean's Garage in Orangedale.  Tracy has a university degree in economics, but he came back home and set up his own garage and antique shop.  He's a great mechanic and a great collector of old cars among other old things.

Next year I'm taking a ride in this.

Housed upstairs, over his garage, is his 1927 Chevy.  He can drive it in from the back, and yes it's road-ready, but he didn't have it out the other day I was over.   It reminds me of Eric Clapton's song, "I've Got A "Rock n' Roll Heart"--I get off on '57 Chevys...

Nice hood ornament.

Spare tire on back.

I love Eric Clapton, and I love Tracy's '27 Chevy.
