    Nice to see my neighbors car that sat for 30+ years be put back on the road. Wow! Never thought that would happen. Best 10k spent on a basket case. Thank you Tony. I showed the original owner this video. Ed Goetz was blown away. I remember this car when they brought it home with its warranty motor due to being blown by a rent a racer. Best $2442.00 spent.

      I remember when Hertz decided to get rid of them all ! ALL of them ! I remember driving down from Ventura to LA and I looked at a couple beauties as we walked through the lot ! I remember seeing a couple this color. I was hesitant about having an automatic and my buddy who went down with me kept whispering Z28 in my ear. Nothing ever came of it because my credit was terrible .

    I rented one of these in June 1966, and the day before going off to Marine Corps boot camp. I was 20 years old, so the myth about having to be 25 years old not true. I drag raced all my buddies that night, and the brakes failed while parking in my parents driveway. Hertz waived the $19.00 rental fee because of the mechanical failure. True story. San Diego, CA 6/23/66. Bought a new 1968 Roadrunner for $2,900 after returning home from Vietnam in May of 68; Mustang’s were too expensive at $3,400 for a Fastback 390 and 4 speed.

    About 15 years ago I had Tommy drive me around Buttonwillow Raceway in my 2002 SVT Focus and he was much faster than I had ever been. We couldn't pass cars on the straights with only 172hp but he passed a few around the rest of the track where he wasn't supposed to and got a talking to when we came in. I was hanging on for dear life. I've known him for about 35 years through crewing on George Follmer's 70 Trans AM Mustang.
