About my Mustang

Ol' Yeller was purchased in 1993 from a man who lived in the desert of Texas out in the Big Bend country, so she had never seen rain before.    Needless to say, she is totally rust free.  Anyway, I had the body restored by a pro in Midland, Texas and I restored the interior.  The engine and all the running gear has never been overhauled.  She has 130,000 miles on her and doesn't burn a drop of oil  The three speed manual tranny works great.  She has the 2.78 open rear in her, so gets modest to good gas mileage on the freeway.  I use her mainly for a grocery getter, and get a compliment or two everytime I take her out.

Yeah, the sunlight must have been directly on her.  The color is Code 8 which is called Springtime Yellow.  The interior color is Palamino, which is a tan color.  Those were the original factory colors, so when I refurbished her, those same colors went back on her.  I know she's only a 289 coupe, but I love driving her.  She's my grocery getter.

Great history, which is everything with these classics. The photo appears white, is the colour yellow?
