The Bee. Bought it on the 30th of June 2007.  Took me a year to put the sting in it!


Still looking great Bee...Love the backdrop...  :bolt:

June 1979, while doing Submarine trials out of San Diego Naval Base, this was my transport while there.
Cost $600, Six cylinder auto with a five lug conversion front and rear but still with drum brakes.

Went everywhere, San Fransisco, Las Vegas and only repair was a Water Pump.

Left it on the wharf at the Naval Oceans System Centre at Point Loma when we sailed for home, left the title on the dash, hope it went to a good home.

Pardon the pic, only one I have, paper and scanned.



Twenty nine Mustangs of all sorts and shapes later, this is the newest in the corral, an Australian Tickford Cobra.

My first Mustang I bought in July 2001, a red 65 convertible that had already been converted to RHD, black upholstery, drum brakes, black carpet.

It is now a restomod with 5.0l crate motor, 750 Edelbrock carby, 4speed AOD, 3.0:1 LSD, RRS suspension all round, 4 wheel disks, JME dash with VDO electronic instruments, white upholstery, zircon, power steering, ZJ Fairlane steering column, delay wipers (Datsun 200SX), custom handbuilt (by me) wiring loom.  :pepper:

My second Mustang, purchased 2009 (presently for sale  :cry:) is a RHD Wimbledon White 66 coupe, original Pony interior, disc brakes up front, black upholstery, zircon, power steering, electric radiator fan, C4 auto, rebuilt 289+ motor.  Reason for sale:  my new home won't accommodate 3 Mustangs and a family car. Mechanicals are all done, now it needs a bare metal respray, the usual minor rust spots fixed, new upholstery and it's a top car.  :burnout:

My third Mustang is a 4.6l 2008 GT purchased in Jul 2011, delivered to Mustang Motorsport in August.  Conversion and fitting of Saleen supercharger, Shelby KR suspension, brakes and 18" wheels, delivered to me in October 2011.  Love that car!!!!! :grin:  :pepper:

Purchased the yellow 66 coupe in Dec 99. Been addicted since and could never bear to part with it when i lusted after another model so now have a collection. Bought a 65 fastback as a project and it sat for years. Nearly finished and will be for sale soon. Also got a red 66 GT fastback about 6 years ago and a black 1969 Mach 1 (390ci) about 2.5yrs ago. GT will also be for sale soon and at the risk of being crucified on this forum, would like to get a C2 corvette to replace it

My 1965 Convertible cloned as a Shelby GT350 is my first Mustang. I hope to have a 1967 Eleanor style clone to join it later. (Excuse my posting ignorance, I have not posted pictures before and I hope these pictures come out) :thud:

It's certainly been an adventure - I didn't think it would take so long when i bought it. I got all the panel work finished about 3 years ago and sent it off for paint & panel then left my wife, so the resulting divorce and stress, court case and AmDram from my ex meant that work has stalled, so should be painted before too long, then I can start putting it back together.
this was it 10 years ago:

this is the last I saw of it when it left my property 3 yers ago:

Got a couple of other projects that I've considered too...

Yes 66 Hertz it is. As much as I admire the guys who can build their own, a man's got to know his limitations and I do not have the mechanical skills for this level of work. Electrical / electronics yes, mechanical nope.
