saw a 1970 shelby mustang today, wow!!! Options

My mom's shop had one of these in for the addition of a few graphics (the correct ones of course). I didn't have my camera or I would have snapped some pictures. VERY cool car, no window mechanisms, no bumpers or trim. Had a funky rear plastic window that had veting and a little aero help. When they started it up it sounded very angry and smelt of sweet race fuel (do you guys get chills up your spine when you smell race exhaust too?)

It's a bit of a shame the only time it is outside is between the enclosed trailer and a garage...

It was common knowledge that back in the day, you could rent a Hertz GT350 for a day and take it to the local drag strip. After many of the rentals came back with ruined trannies, Hertz tightened up the rules to avoid any future problems. The balck with gold stripes of the Hertz has always been my favorite.

It goes a bit further than that - many of the cars are hard to find with the correct engine block because it was determined that mechanics and racers were buying 289 Mustangs, renting the 350H for the weekend, and doing complete engine and trans swaps! The car would come back and the guy at the counter wasn't checking to see if it still had a 4-barrel carb, let alone the right engine. So apparently a few Mustangs were upgraded at the cost of a weekend rental and the next guy in line rented a hyd cam 289 2-bbl (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
