Roll cage anyone?  Law don't work 'round here Law Dog.....
"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"

Where Are the Lawman Mustangs Now?
I can only imagine being in the shoes of these soldiers. These Mustangs bought great joy to the troops and must have felt like a glimpse of home. Many photos of Al Eckstrand's 1970 Military Performance Tour are still accessible, although sadly only the replacement Boss 429 lives today. With the current trends going on, I hope one of the remaining Lawman Mustangs is hiding in someone's barn!

After the tour, one of the Mustangs went on to have many owners. In the early nineties, Eckstrand bought the car and shipped her to Europe, where Dennis Collins from Fast N Loud bought it. Collins later sold the Lawman for $116,000 to Bill Goldberg, who is currently restoring her to its former glory. Goldberg also owns Angel Restorations who specialises in restoring Shelby Mustang GTs, Boss Mustangs and other special Mustangs. You can follow the Mustang restoration on social media.

Just like "Jimmy's car"......

The wrecked car was destroyed. Liability reasons. That was from an article (Hemming's 'Muscle Machines') done on the restoration of the surviving car by Marcus Angel (correct spelling?) in Arizona.
Past owned Shelby's:
1968 GT-350--Gold
1970 GT-500--#3129--Grabber Orange.
Current lifelong projects:
1969 Mustang Fastback/FOX chassis, 5 speed, 4 wheel discs, with a modern Can-Am 494 (Boss 429), Kaase heads, intake with a 1425 cfm 'B' Autolite Inline carb, ala Trans-Am style
1968/70 Olds 442 W-30

During the tour, the Boss 429 was accidentally destroyed when a shipping container fell on it

What are those front wheels (and those on the trailer) off of?  Looks like a Chrysler Pentastar-shaped area for the missing center cap.  Racer Al Eckstrand was apparently some sort of lawyer at Chrysler, at the time.

OK, further research just revealed they were supplied by Motor Wheel.  But, they still look way too Chrysler-y for a Ford.
