Some where some one is driving their collector car for the last time but they don't know it . Drive your car every time like it could be the last memory of it .

I buy fire extinguishers !
I have one in the back seat.  I probably should have two.
"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"

.............have one in the back seat. 

     Off-topic, but just a note: Be careful of having such items loose, particularly on the back seat, in the occupant compartment; as in a collision these items can become rather lethal projectiles!   :o

Agreed. I want to find a way to strap it down without any drilling into the floors.

Richard, there are fire extinguisher brackets (easily found) that attach to the passenger seat's front mounting bolts. The extinguisher then is strapped in front of the bottom cushion. Easy access in an emergency and no holes drilled.

Hi Van, I remember looking into that option but the designer/ seller indicated it would not work for a 65-66 Mustang seat
