In South Carolina they take the musclecar era real serious, and have some amazing collections that rarely get shown on the internet, I just learned of “Montys Mustangs"

an eclectic private display of more than 30 great Mustangs and Fords owned by Monty and Jennifer Seawright. Monty’s amazing garage is home to many superb Mustangs, including a ’67 GT350, ’68 GT500, a ’69 Boss 302 and Mach 1, a ’70 Boss 9 and Mach 1 – even a low-mileage 1978 King Cobra.

Mach 1 and Boss 302 comparison





the grill, tail panel, and rocker panel trim, and shaker hood versus hood scoop are about the only differences.  Oh, and the angle on the rear wing... what the hell is the Mach 1 doing? I choose the Boss 302 as the better looking

some things that caught my eye at the Knotts Berry Farm annual all Ford show






the above Mustang has captured a lot of celebrity attention at car shows... I don't know why. It's been hit and restored, and in a music video... but nothing about the car caught my attention except the billboard













at the entrance across the street from Sears, this ugly 75 or 76 greeted you with it's ass. What a revolting developement as Bugs bunny used to say



on the subject of ugly, this Thunderbird speedometer is so ugly.... so cheap looking, and in such contrast to the cool pod gauges.. damn shame

want a '69 Mustang, (GT, Boss 302, Shelby) but without 43 years of age and problems? A new 2012 or 13 in all ways but looks, Retro Built is making cool looking 1969's from brand new Mustangs, and Carroll Shelby recommends them!


The retro-coupe features power-operated sport buckets with lumbar support, ice-cold air conditioning, six airbags and a full factory warranty. It also comes with a new fuel-injected 5.0-liter with 420 horsepower.


 something to like about the Retro Built that the originals didn't have? Airbags, cupholders, and awesome stereos

Retrobuilt's 1969 Fastback is one slick, no-compromise muscle car. Its fit and finish appeared top-notch, and everything on the vehicle passed close scrutiny (especially to the countless onlookers in the parking lot who were magnetically drawn to the Fastback when we stopped to chat). In terms of pricing, the full Retrobuilt treatment costs about $30,000 above and beyond the price of the donor vehicle – a figure much easier to swallow if you consider the work involved. above 2 composite images and paragraphs from http://www.autoblog.com/2012/11/30/retrobuilt-1969-mustang-fastback-first-drive-review/







http://www.retrobuilt.com/ is their website. You won't learn everything on their site, some things I picked up from talking to the guys is that occasionally they get lucky when finding source material cars... you know, the new car under the cool exterior. Hail damaged cars are perfect to start with. New on the dealership lots, but unsellable by factory delaerships. However, all the hail damage is only to the new car design you don't like anyway!
