    Hi Larry;
    Thanks for asking! As a kid in my Dad's Texaco station, I loved Mustangs and told myself that someday I'd have one. I went a little overboard... I have an '07 GT500 convertible, triple black. A couple of years ago, I saw a posting for a '68 GT500 KR that wasn't running and needed restoration. It had a seized motor and had been sitting in a barn for 22 years. I took a chance on it, and after new pistons and rods it runs great. What started out as a quick paint job turned into a restoration and it looks showroom new. It's a white fastback/4 speed/saddle interior. The nice thing about it sitting for so long is that all of the components are original, including the Holley carb. Now, if I could just find time to drive either one of them!!
    I've attached a photo of the cars, I don't currently use a photo service, so I couldn't link a url...
    Thanks!
    Ed
