I would be happy to briefly review each one on your podcast, with pics. The 65 GT convertible Special Order State Department car (see pic) stands out among them. If you own a Mustang or classic car, have you named your car? I once had 3 at the same time -- Red, White, & Blue. I had a 64.5 Pagoda Green one, and now have a Springtime Yellow GT. What work have you done on your pony? All 5 were driver quality cars, no projects. One was a show car and ended up in the Swiss Mustang Museum, located near Zurich, Switzerland.

My old `39 has been called a few things through the years (I have owned it for almost 40), but no "official" name. Are you a supplier of products to Mustang and Classic Car enthusiasts?: yes Have you ever made improvements to your classic car or restored it? I first built my `39 Ford Deluxe in 1984, actually used a few Mustang parts (steering box, column, and rear axle). It was the only car I owned for a while, drove it every day. After 30 years and over 180,000 miles, I rebuilt it a few years ago. Basically rebuilt the car from the ground up but we replicated the paint job that we first did in 1984. Kept the car looking the same, but it's a much better build this time around. What plans do you have for improvements/restoration/modification of your classic car? Plans now are to continue to drive and enjoy it. We have already driven it on Vintage Air Road Tours to Biloxi, Mississippi and Lake Havasu, Arizona. This year's Tour is going to Nashville, Tennessee for the Triple Crown event.

Today’s episode provides added proof that two times is the charm. Joseph Gaskill first acquired his classic Mustang fastback in December of 1981, held onto it for 5 years. He will share what happened and why he acquired it again in December 2022 41 years after the original acquisition date. Joseph, let’s tell your story, welcome to Ford Mustang, The Early Years podcast. Let’s start here and this post on Facebook: Dec 26th, 2022 Best Christmas ever but the highlight was getting my Mustang back that I sold in 1986! I was able to locate the car just one week before Christmas and ( not only) did I see it for the first time in all these years but was able to buy the car back. The fastback was delivered to me on Christmas Eve. Amazingly the car is exactly as I sold it with few exceptions. The paint is cracked but it runs beautifully. I can’t wait until Spring to get started with the resurrection.
