General public: It's just a car.

My standardized response:  Wrong!

After a fresh pre-fourth of July wash...

"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"

Great pictures,  nice touch with the motley crew song, look at your PM box made a few notations on some none concourism items noticed on vehicle. 

With my expert assistance we can get this to be a 101 point car.....

Incidentally it's Radiohead...I thought of using Alice in Chains song Again but maybe too metal /grunge for most.

Key ring is from back in the day.  I was looking for one a long long time that wouldn't break my bank. Thanks to Vernon Estes.

As an aside, did I ever mention how much I love this car?
As a further addendum, I used a step ladder for the overhead shots and I can highly recommend it. Just be careful on said ladder. I make no warranties express or implied that you will not fall off of your own ladder. Balance carefully while holding the phone or other camera.

I sold this car to Richard with the specific understanding that it would always be a day 2 car that was driven and enjoyed and not become a garage queen on a pedestal. I think he's done a great job with the car that I originally swapped $140 and a 1968 Tbird for. If he ever decides the tires are too skinny I can send him the 14x10 Ansen wheels that were on the car when I got it in 1975.

Mine: GT1 Mustang Track Toy, 1998 SVT Cobra, Wife's: 2004 Tbird

I had to look up Ansen wheels.  They look pretty cool.  They were 14 x 10 on all four corners?  I suspect there would be significant fender rubbing.  I still thank you for selling me your car.  It has enhanced the quality of my life over the years though there was a close call a number of years ago where I was going to sell the car after some shaky relationship problems.  That is all behind me now.  So far behind, it isn't even visible in my rearview mirror anymore.
