The first story beginning at 0:00 really summarizes the outside world's attitude toward cars and especially collector cars...

"Low she sits on five spoke wheels
Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

And not Dummies like her, every day people especially millennials.

Agreed. But I look at it this way. We are an elite bunch and there is nothing wrong with that.

Everybody ages.  Even the millennials.  Their time is coming and they cannot stop it any more than anyone else.  We at least will have better memories during the twilight years than the millennials.  I know that is subjective, but I cannot see how rejoicing in a Commodore 64 computer is somehow more rewarding compared to reveling in one's old muscle car or any vintage car for that matter.

Simply Red
Best colour combination in my estimation.  Though I would take any colour where a Shelby is concerned.

I prefer the white stripes over gold even though they are not factory.

Thats stunning... x3 for white! Sometimes personalizing our rides is better then the way they came. ;)

I striped my car myself and to make it correct would mean buying a cheap  stripe removal tool and buying a new stripe kit and a few hours to install-or take the points deduction.
