| Will this 65-mustang convertible ever be finished?
It all started, for us any way in 1993, with this great deal. We purchased
an intact running 1965 mustang convertible from the estate of artist
Pingkerton for Twenty Five hundred. He collected mustangs and this particular
stang he used as his daily driver.
Due to the lack of money, time and /or enthusiasm this auto restoration
has been an on going project in one form or another for the past thirteen
years. The engine has been rebuilt, the brakes replaced, along with
the ragtop, original red striped tires and interior. The current part
of the project is the bodywork and a fresh coat of paint. The saying,
“It’s a labor of love”, really does apply to this
project.
We look forward to the day that we can say the project is complete.
We can show the car proudly at the GHMC biggest little car show; join
up with all the GHMC members for parades, road rally’s, and exciting
events that always come up through out the year. Just as soon as this
project is complete Mari’s 1965 2+2 fastback, that looks more
like swiss cheese than a proud mustang, is in the coral waiting for
its turn in the mustang restoration garage. But that story will have
to wait for another Pony Tales car of the month
