My 1st Mustang WAS the result of exactly the same kind of early teenage car lust. There was the black '69 Mach 1 I saw every day on my paper route I have fallen in love with from when I was 15. I used to draw sketches of 69/70 Mustang fastbacks all the time. Every one I saw on the street stopped me in my tracks. It took a lot of searching (until I was 17 1/2) to find the "right car" AFTER I had worked all those years pitching newspapers to save enough money. I owned it and fixed it up for 8 years. I still have the personalized plate, rear gas cap/medallion, a NOS air cleaner decal, and a lot of pictures of that car. I held onto a totally restored Shaker Air Cleaner setup that I never installed into the '90's.
