Win Lotto!!! Rod, i can write a book on all these damn Mustangs, bought my first one(68 GT Fastback) in 1977 as a kid(from Jack Nazer) but didn't know it at the time!! and have owned over 30 of them!! imported quite a few over the last 25 years!! Dean Camerons #389 Mustang was my first race car, one i didn't build but was a early pre 65 car back in the late 80's/early 90's, i owned it around 95, built the Daryl Narain Mustang next, bearly got it finished and Rick Cooper(Taupo Major) wipped his cheque book out, damn!! them built the blue one Hoffman races, at least i got to race that one 3 times before he got me!! built the Nigel MacDonald 67 Fastback as a job and then my current Mustang, which by the way is a factory Calypso Coral(red orange) 69 Boss 302, of the 1630 odd made this is one of only 3 and has a real interesting history!! The only reason i still own it today is i refuse to sell it, had several offers but at 51 im sick of building them(for the moment anyway) i thought it was about time i went out and had some fun!! Shipped it to America and racing it last year was a highlite, Sears Point and Thunderhill, Steve done a article in NZV8(i think) some months ago!! Im over the "hard core beat to death" racing now and prefer to just do Classic and Historical events, way more fun!! Enjoy
