"My 67 mustang has always been my dream car. It's a Mustang coupe 289 with a C4 transmission, power steering, power brakes, and deluxe interior. I've owned it for 3 years already and I have done extensive work to get it to where I want it to be. The Mustang is mostly up to my standards but the work never ends on these cars. Currently I'm working on the front floors and going to add factory style AC to it."
