things from the Swayze/Reeves original Point Break that would be epic to own... the Porsche that Lori Petty's character drove, or the Mach 1 that Keanu's character drove... or the guitar Patrick Swayze was tuning!

This now causes me to wonder, did this result in Keanu asking for his John Wick character to have a Mustang? 

seen during lunch today

 

I can't make out what this is

they are still out there, probably because no one who owned them can afford to restore them

California, and taking a moment to rock with the RHCP in one of the cool videos - taking a shot at all the iconic looks of 80s and 90s videos

this 1992 Ford Mustang LX last sold for 72.5k... and they are looking to see if there is someone out there who wants to pay more for it now. It only has 140 miles on it, but, does a 34 year old Mustang really rate new Corvette money?

So far, it's bid up to 55k

seen in traffic. I don't recall seeing a license plate without a year tag before. that's a ballsy way to taunt cops to give you a parking ticket

a movie car chase you haven't seen with Black Sabbath Paranoid laid over the sound

Ford stopped selling Shelby Mustangs, and maybe it was because it cost 800 per car for the name, and nothing else, from Shelby

I drove through Pt Loma to see a friend, and spotted these Mustangs, and this cool trailer, on the way

here's the view from up on the top of the peninsula, to the West is the Pacific, and 

to the East, Downtown San Diego on the other side of the bay

 

seen on today's walk...

This makes the 2nd 914 I've found in this neighborhood... but that's a flat front tire on the passenger side front.

what the hell is the deal with this license plate? Yellow on black would be right for this era, but this sequence isn't the 3 letters followed by 3 numbers that would be proper for this year. Must be one of the new re-issued plates, which are fine for new cars, but, it's all wrong for the cars in the 60s to have the right color plates, without the right alphanumeric sequence

first time I've seen a 80s/90s 1st generation Humvee in nearly 17 years. 

 

this car has been parked so long, the tire dry rotted and went flat, on BOTH SIDES on the back. I think it's a beemer

the coolest thing I saw on todays walk... this So Cal original Mustang. The license plate is the same one it was given when first purchased. That's a cool thing about California yellow on black plates, they show that a car's from here, never left, and wasn't brought in from some place it rains and rusts

this was the rear license plate originally... that's weird to have had it moved to the front. But, it's the very accurate way to say what year the car is, and that it's been in So Cal it's whole existence

Smart to put this note on the dash. Not as smart as putting a weather proof car cover over it, to keep the leaves, dew, rain, dust, etc off the car and out of the vent system... but I still got a kick out of them realizing how many people were going to stop and ask about it's possible sale price

nice freshened up Mustang under the car cover... that they do not understand how to properly put over the antenna (unscrew the antenna you idiots)

when the hybrid, all-wheel drive ZR1X lapped the 'Ring in 6:49.275, it became the fastest ever lap by an American production vehicle, as well as the fastest completed by any non-professional race car driver and the fifth-best overall.

Fast forward to today, and two Mustang GTD - one blue, one black - were turned loose at the Nürburgring. 

Though official scoring and timing results aren't available, outside timing indicates that they both beat the times set by the Corvette's best. 

The black Mustang GTD was clocked at 6:41.74, while the blue one came home at 6:45.71.

Though these are not official results, until official results are posted that irrefutably prove contrary, (not likely) the Ford Mustang GTD has put the Vette to shame.

that wing is just a cop magnet

I wonder how many cars Ford has given away? This 64 was given to Nelson Rockefeller at the '64 New York World's Fair

Rockefeller served as the governor of New York from 1959 to 1973, and was also Vice President from 1974 to 1977 under President Gerald Ford.

Skip the 1st minute and 25 seconds, because... the Gt 350 Shelby Cobra Mustang showed up unable to run. Yep, the only one I wanted to see race rolled off the truck with an engine problem. And the idiot making this video? Doesn't even know what a 4 barrel is. WTF?

Supercharged, and 446 Hp... if it were running. 

what is cooler and more interesting to find on the walk... a neglected 68 Mustang? Or a 912 Porsche?

according to Google Street View, it's been in that spot, under a car cover, for over 12 years. 

In 1967, the primary difference between the Porsche 911 and 912 was the engine: the 911 used a 2.0L flat-six (~130hp), while the 912 used a 1.6L flat-four (~90hp) derived from the 356SC. The 912 was roughly 200 lbs lighter, better balanced, and more fuel-efficient, offering a more agile driving experience compared to the faster, more powerful 911.

the 911 had 5 gauges and carpet, the 912 had 3 and rubber floor mats

911s often had superior braking (ventilated vs. solid rotors on the 912) and different sway bars.

just how long must a good car sit to gather this many pine needles? Plus a flat back tire

 

just sitting there on a side street looking like the owner gave up on it... it looks like it's never had a rich owner, no one even put on some Cragars, and it's beginning to show the decades of neglect

Why this neighborhood insists on such hideous rims, on so MANY cool old cars, I do not know

it was sitting there 2 months ago with a flat front tire

I almost bought a Mustang like this, but fastback, in 1988, when I was in high school. The only problem that the seller, the mom of a co-worker knew of, was a busted timing chain. 500 bucks. 

I STILL regret that my asshole step dad didn't step up, back my chance at that Mustang, as I had the money. I didn't have the tools, or know how, to do an engine rebuild... but hell, it was a 289, that's not a jigsaw puzzle. 

Anyway, that was the one chance I recall nearly having at a fixer upper, cheap, and cool

coolest car I've spotted while out on a walk in a while, a California Special. I haven't seen one of these in about 15 years except at a car show
