One neat thing that happened on the St George trip, is my aunt giving me pictures of the car. I am incredibly thankful to my aunt for holding on to this car and allowing me to purchase it from her. I know she is still struggling with her decision to sell the car, which I completely understand. It honestly means so much to me to be able to have this car. I am so thankful she held on this car through the years so that it could be restored.
Anyways I figured I would show the age progression of the car so here it goes...
These two pictures were taken in April 1967 (when the car was only 3 months old)
The next three were taken in May of 1974 on my aunts wedding day
This picture was taken in the 1980's
This was April 2008
And current day (April 2012)
Just for comparison sake...

Kudos to your aunt for saving the pics! It surely is fun to see your beloved Mustang in different eras. But I think no matter what year it is, Mustang will never lose its charm. Even now, people are still amazed by this classic auto. It never fades. Timeless is definitely the perfect word to describe this vintage beauty.
It is fun to see old photos of cars and other stuff. You can see how it looked back then and how it aged. But I think it is more fun to see the present pictures and realize the time and effort you spent on rebuilding the vehicle. Nevertheless, it is all worth it.
Congratulation on successfully restoring your dad’s car! It looks great! Your dad and aunt must be proud of you when you placed 2nd on the show. The hardship you went through definitely paid off for you and Mike. Keep up the good work! ;)
