Retirement Gift to Myself
Purchased my first car (new) while in the Air Force. A 1969 Mustang sky blue coupe. I loved that car. Recently retired after a 50+ year career. Over a 6 month period then replaced both one my knees, then purchased a 2017 Mustang GT convertible. Determined to enjoy retirement. This is the ‘before’photo. Will finish up on a number of modifications late next week.

Hopefully you'll be enjoying your "17" GT vert for many great years to come, as you most definitely deserve nothing less following a long 50+ year career. Meanwhile, thanks for sharing an image of your beautiful ride, welcome aboard and congrats on your retirement

Very nice she is looking great. Well done and just like Mustang Freak said tasteful not to over the top. I hate it when someone makes it look like there car is going to end up in some air traffic. Great job.
