Coldie! I know you like your cars. I’m hoping this will tickle your fancy. A fully restored 65 Mustang Fastback 2+2 - note the wheels and lowered springs etc. It sits unusually nicely. Some Mustangs from the era look like their noses are pointed skywards, but not this one. [http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2425209793&category=6236&rd=1](http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2425209793&category=6236&rd=1) Check out the interior. Very nice. It only has the ‘C’ Code 289 in it, but it looks to have had some after-market work done to it. Certainly, Edelbrock makes everything you could ask for “off the shelf” to turn it into a 400+hp donk which runs on unleaded. It looks to be a real sweet looking ride. I reckon you could fit some fine Dutch beer in that trunk actually. 😃 No room for a bike though… bummer. ---

**Boo** , are YOU the current bidder? How much is it going to cost to ship that monstrosity out here? 😉 ---

That is a sweet car, but if I’m getting one of those, I want the convertible. My dream car is the '65 in cherry red with the convertible top. Bliss! ---

My first car was a 64.5 Mustang w/289, Canary Yellow with Black interior. I loved that car. It was such a beaver magnet (very important when you’re 17). I bought it for $3000. I sold it for $7500. I heard the buyer gave it to his 15 year old son and he wrecked it…That little bastard. My dream can would be an old GTO that I could restore with my son. When he got old enough I would give it to him for his first car. I hope that restoring it with me would help him appreciate it and take care of it. Hmmm…maybe I’ll start lookin tonight on Autotrader’s web site. Nothing else to do @ 3:16 AM. ---
