Jackpot!!!

I am now in sunny St. George. It is great! Mike and I got here late last night. One of the things on my agenda was to look for pictures of the '67 from back in the day. Rumor has it that there is a picture of my dad standing next to the Mustang. That was what I was hoping to find.

Well I didn't find that picture but we did find a couple slides of the Mustang taken April of 1967. We were very excited to find these. We then went to Colorland Photo and they were able to print them into 4x6 and 8x10's. I was happy they were able to do it while we waited. I was thinking it would take a couple days... but nope!

One of the things we learned.... was that there were white stripes down the side. That was not something listed on the Marty Report which means it was something the dealer had put on. Now that we know it had the white stripes... we will be sure to put them back on when restoring it. I am happy to see it has those. Just one more thing to set this mustang apart. It also makes me very excited to get working on the restoration now that I have seen what it once looked like... and know what it will look like when we are done.

Another thing is the plates. We called the DMV and no one has those plates. So we are going to have replicas made of the original plates and have them registered to the car. It will make it more like the original. I am very excited!! I am glad we took the two hours of digging thru pictures to come up with these incredible finds.

Now for the moment you all are waiting for....
