There are mustangs from 65-69 that were ordered in Playboy Pink.

Exactly.
And all the odd-ball colors (pink or whatever) had no color code on the plate.
Personally, I think all the actual playmate cars were convertibles.
The one I had was a hardtop, so I think the story was bogus.

Yeah, that's kinda still gonna be a while. It is raining here, so they can't put down the concrete type stuff. No rush, I'm just glad I got this part done. Thanks!!

I wanted to. I got 2 estimates to do what I wanted done. $2500 & 2700. I cannot even begin to afford that. My uncle is one of those guys that knows basically everything. He drives on the side for a concrete company. He will put down like what is left over after a job. He says he will put this where I want it. I will then drive over it to mash it down. He will then wet it down. I then stay off for about 3 days for it to cure. When it dries, supposed to be harder than concrete. It won't be as smooth as concrete, plenty smooth enough. I hope I said that right. I don't really know that much, I just told it as I was told. Will be a almost white shade of grey.

OK, that sounds like a good deal then. It will be good to see how your restro is going now that you have a place to work on it.

From when I moved into this new house, I had plans to add that carport. I just now have a real reason for it.
Oh, I'm not near smart enough to do the work myself! I just have a trusty mechanic that works on my 95. He'll do what he can to the 65. I'm hoping he can do it all. He's really an exhaust guy. He just does all I need. He knows how to do it, just doesn't for everyone. Thanks!!

Can't take credit for that move. I was ready to by the BFG Radial T/A's. Lisa said I better just get used ones for now. Knew that she was good to have during this!!

Dad & I went over to put on those tires today. It was a pain raising the car up enough to get the jack under it! We finally did though. Dad then thought of putting air in the tires enough to raise it up. We aired them all up, looks great. No weather cracking or anything. I'd never drive on them, but I think they are good enough to slap on the trailer.

My mechanic needs to clear some room in his shop before he gets it. He says by Thurs @ the earliest. I am going to use my dad's Ram to pull it. That takes me to Monday or Tuesday of next week. I'm just happy it is going on. I'll for sure get pics of it then. Only change is there is air in ther tires. See ya!!

What oil will I run in it? I use Valvoline Max Life 10W-30 in my 95. Won't it go for the 65 also? Mileage is 115736. That is 1 thing I can go ahead & buy. Thanks!!
