Graduation day in Orofine, Id HS. Rich guys son got a new 53 Chev top line convertible. Total miles on his first. and last. drive ? 3. Dumped it in the river.

turnkey . . . I assume he lived? No roll bar in a '53 Chev convertible, or standard.

I think Ford could've done a better job on re-designing the 2019 Bullet, to me it seems like it's just not quite there, maybe they should've just thrown the cookie cutter away and started over. I'll take the 68..... 1968 Bullitt Mustang vs 219 Mustang Bullitt | Car Comparison | Driving.ca - YouTube

I'd like to see a remake of Bullet with the new Electric (four door) Mustang.

It would make the original seem like it was standing still.

Maybe a wife in the front watching her I-Phone and a couple of kids in the back watching the infotainment system.

When I was 17 a friend of my Brother's bought this car new. He was 19. He paid just over $10K. A farm boy that had saved every dime he made. He went to town to buy a Corvette. Wearing overalls and a T shirt. Said the Vette dealer salesmen wouldn't even talk to him. Walked out of the Chevy dealership, across the street to the Ford dealership and bought this car.

He absolutely trashed it. I saw it wreck once on main street of our little town. It was way more car than Eddie could handle.

Anyway, a good friend of mine collects cars and several years ago tried to buy it from Eddie. It was in pieces at the time. Eddie wouldn't sell it to him and instead sold it to a collector in Kansas City. That man owned it for a few years and did nothing to restore it.

My friend contacted that collector and inquired about buying it? Was able to do so. Brought it home in pieces. As a part of his business's he owns a Speed Shop. They restored this car. It's a "match" car. Even has matching tires and battery from the era, just as it had when sold new. The stitching in the seats is even the right "count".

It's a marvel to look at. Brings back great memories for a lot of people in this community that knew the car when it was new. My friend hauls it to large car shows and on this occasion brought it out for a local Parade.

After he got it finished he talked to Eddie about coming and looking at it, even offered to let him drive it. Said Eddie would barely talk to him and acted mad that he had it. How sad. I told my friend if he ever found my '69 Mustang and restored it I'd be eternally grateful!!!

I have no idea of the value of this car. I'm sure it's not in my budget!!!!

That vintage of Mustang is one of the greatest looking cars of all time in my opinion. :thumbsup:

Really . . . . . .

I still have most of the cars... guess I just couldn't part with them.

A few I did sell put me in the group if only...

The best was a bone stock 32,000 miles factory 1968 Z28... red with white stripes... even had the original E78 tires.

I was in school and money was tight so I let it go for $6800 which was a lot back then...

Also let go a 1970 GTO Convertible and a 1970 Olds 442 Convertible... it was thirsty when it came to gasoline...

The only other one was also a 1970 Dart with 18,000 miles and 340 and stick...

See, when the energy crisis hit these cars went begging... people were dumping them for Pinto, Chevette, Vega and Crickets/ Horizon...

I bought a 69 coupe new for $2,300 when I was 17. Paid cash.

Wasn't that the last year convertible GTO's were made?
