I wouldn't buy a bucket of south African diamonds for a buck from that shyster.

Me, too. The '65 notchback was my first car - it was SO fun!

Well OK, looks good ... but its the wrong color .. a *real* vintage Mustang should be red. Nuff Said.

Then I realized it was a plastic model. LOL

The early ones were nice pieces of machinery. I liked the 66 GTO too.

Where was Lee? He was a big Obama supporter. The chickens have come home to roost.
