Money Pit

For those that think photography is expensive, stay away from cars. Cars are way more expensive, not just to buy, but to modify or restore. Below is what could be called a trailer queen. A car that is not driven, but towed everywhere instead. This is a late '65 Mustang.

Sharp, sharp photos, thanks for post beautiful photos of a beautiful car.
My neighbor has a boat. He says a boat is a hole in the lake you though money into. Sounds like the same thing to me,

Beautiful photographs! Yes, a camera photography hobby is a lot less expensive than many, many hobbies. Do you have Hollywood glass packs on it?

Very nice! Numbers matching I assume? Got the hard top version sitting in my shop. Unfortunately not numbers matching but I drive mine when the spirit moves me. Thank you for sharing.

Very nice photos of a very nice car. I would want to drive it, though.

Yes, the numbers all match.
Glass packs would be frowned upon by the judges, but fun to have.

The problem today is that no one knows how to do the simple things without the aid of a computer. What used to be common place, like adjusting the carb, is forgotten knowledge today.

Yeah...set points, adjust a carb, set valve lash...all forgotten skills. But then look what powers our sleds today. Your 200 cubic inch 6 made 120 hp if I have my memory in gear and that's what's in your pony. Ford's Eco-Boost V6 makes 360 plus hp out of 213 cubes thanks in no small part to incredible advances in technology...and costs coming down. Still...it was fun to advance her 'til she pinged and back it off just a skosh...and go crusin'

Today incredible amounts of HP are generated out of small block motors. Just add a bit of boost and enough fuel, then hang on. The computer controls everything, and HP can be adjusted via software.

Great pictures of one of my favorite cars. I see it has a 6 cylinder in it instead of the ever popular 289 V8. Long live the Mustang! Yes beautiful, and very sharp photos and thanks for sharing.. :thumbup: :thumbup:
