I'll keep Roxanne (2005) as clean as possible, as often as possible. That's what the California Duster, cloth diapers, and Meguiar's are for. Lots of each...
Three more pics to post...

I can't attach a picture even in another thread. Is there a "lifetime" limit to attachments based upon size?
I can't believe I would have reached a lifetime limit.
Someone please advise. Is there some default setting I can change to allow more pics?

Thanks for sharing again your pictures with us. As much as I love my new '05, seeing your '65 again reminds me that this is the car that I had always dreamed of buying. The lines of the fastback have always been my favorite. A year ago when Ford said they were definitely going retro with the '05, I knew I would be one of the first in line to have one. It is said your first love is the best, and I guess that saying holds true for my first love of the automobile, as was the '65 fastback 2+2. What a fine looking set of cars you have, and I congratulate you, :worship: over and over and over.

Mike,
Thanks for sharring your pictures of your cars! My brother had the exact same 65 Musthang that you have with white interior back in the 70's. HE SOLD IT TO BUY A SUPER BEETLE! WHat a shame huh? I was small then so I couldn't buy it (reason being why I am getting the 05). Now with these pictures I can show him that the 05 is larger then the 65 because he thinks the opposite. Nice cars!

Awesome Mike. They look absolutely stunning together ! Makes me long for my '67 Lime Gold coupe which I still regret selling. However I am thoroughly enjoying my '05 Legend Lime GT. Who did your tint work and what % did you go with? Rolled tips look great--did the dealer install them ?

man those two cars look great togeather. Someday I can only hope to own a 65 fastback as nice as that car you have. And I can never get enough of looking at WB 05's. I love that color and can't wait until nicer weather here in Wi. so I can go test one out. Thanks for the pic of the cars nose to nose, my new background

Mike,
Both cars look great! I won't be able to pose the 66 with the 05 as she is up on blocks in the garage. Like you, the 05 will have to sit outside. Unlike you, I can't drive the 66 for some time. In my apparent attempt to emulate you, I also went with the pony caps and the exhaust tips. Now if I could just get the dang car.......

Jack: I'm so very glad you enjoyed them, and that the 65 evoked such memories. It really is an emotional experience to own, drive and show that car.
I am so very blessed, in so many ways--these cars are just one. I have my health, family, a very understanding wife (although she doesn't "get" the car thing, she is very understanding of me), a fine (almost 18 year old) son, and great friends such as you.
God is good, all the time.

Again that '65 is so beautiful. I can't believe just how pudgy the 05 looks sitting next to it.
I'm jealous!

Maybe the camera adds a few hundred pounds to the car's appearance.
Kind of like the way a camera adds weight to people....

Tint was done by an auto accessory (mainly audio) shop called Mobile One; they did a great job. To keep me legal, they put 50% on the front side passenger windows, and 20% (UV light allowed in) around the back.
Rolled exhaust tips--dealer accessory, I ordered them through my dealer's parts department, and my salesman installed them for me free of charge, along with the pony center ring / hub caps. They incurred a little bit of labor for the wheel caps, as they had to remove the wheels from the car to punch the original Ford blue oval center caps out without damaging them. Again, no labor charged to me.
Glad you like them !!
