It was only a couple of years that Shelby actually designed and built the engines for Mustang even though after he was gone, Ford continued to use his name on their Mustangs. I don’t think he built the ‘69 Mustang engine. I thought it was more like ‘67-’68.

In 1969, I was commissioned into the U.S. Army, collected my $400 uniform allowance and went to downtown Fayetteville and put the money down for a brand new 1969 Mustang Fastback. Not all the bells and whistles that this one has, but nice nonetheless.

Two years later, I sold it a bought a Peugeot 504. My wife didn’t like that car, so I sold it and bought a Lotus +2S 130. We both like that one.

Rick Harrison will give $150,000 for it right now. Let’s face it, the tires are missing some air and for collectors condition is everything. OK, $170,0000, hundred dollar bills.

The Mustang was originally purchased for just $5,245 in 1969. Now, though,it should sell at auction for over $100,000.

So if you compare the value of a premo car in 1969 and a premo car in 2014, the car has only doubled in value. Says something about inflation.

Is this some kind of Gas Monkey Garage spoof?

Probably the ugliest mustang front end design of that era. And is it really Army green?

My APC was that color.

Back in 1974 a guy my Dad did some work for had a 69 Shelby GT350H. It was one of the Hertz Rental Fleet Cars.

My Dad told me the guy was selling it and I should give him a call. He wanted $2,000 for it, so I called and told him I would be by in the morning with the Cash after I went to the Bank. I was working Graveyard Shift at the time.

When I called him after work to tell him I was on the way he told me he sold the Car the night before. When I asked him why he sold it he simply said because the guy brought the Cash. I was pissed and let him know it, but there was nothing I could do.

When I win the Lotto, it’s the first Car I will buy. The next is a 69 Roadrunner.

Just another “one that got away” story that all of us have.
