In my neighborhood - old Gov't (FBI) Galaxie:






And kennyg, here's the Mustang II I told you about:

 

this simply must go with mgreene`s black FBI car .. http://www.videosift.com/story.php?id=9131
i hope it works

 

That was just too funny

 

i watched this car rot away behind a house for many years then it shows up at bentleys yard for a day or two and then gone again..

 

I used to have a Mustang II like that. Hard to tell what color that one is. Mine was a 76 Silver Mach 1. Must admit they did not ride that good,

 

this was a drag car at one time.. it has a very crude set of ladder bars holding the rear end in place,,

 

Made my morning Thanks ton's and for all those backyard pics amazing.

 

Mgreene and i have hundreds more to post as time goes by .. and there is many i havent shot yet.. i dont imagine there are as many old cars sitting around in canada as there is in the southern US .. i`d love to go to mississippi and look around .. may happen some day

 

There is when I built bridges in the prairies there was one barn in particular that had 3 66 lincolins suicide doors an overland whippit that ran these are a few that stuck to mind in total this guy maybe had 26-30 all undercover which made them age beautifuly. If I go back 'd make the trip just to see if it was there and to to buy one or two and take pics a lot of seniors keep them locked up in thier garges and don't drive anymore.

 

I would love to have that car or one that needs to be restored! I have such a soft spot for em.. esp the king cobras!

 

Saw another silver Mustang II yesterday on HWY 72 right before you get into Rogersville.

 

show them tiger Mckee`s car mike ... we remember it very well from the late 70`s

 

This car, Tiger McKee's, used to dominate the street racing scene in Huntsville in the early to mid '80s.

 

 

i had written a bogus story i had heard about this car on a few other forums .. turns out it was`nt parked while still new but it has been sitting since 1978 or so when the motor broke and the owner just got another car ..

 

there is some guy around here that still drives a king cobra, its white with blue stripes, way rusted out and lots of dents and messed up body panels.. it sounds pretty bad too.

this thread is depressing....

 

for every rust bucket i see i find myself imagining what they would look like with new metal and good paint.... hours and hours of work. i cant believe people crush these cars. you can get at least a couple hundred out of each car, some one somewhere will buy it if you dont want it.

they will never make these again. crushing them takes them away forever. people dont seem to get that.

 

if i restored this car, i would paint it with yellowish flames on the bottom and fade them into a candy apple red on the top of the car.... then you could compare the pics... see how it almost looks like it should fade from yellow to red.... man that would be a badass car
