Brian's Mustang History:
For details on the Mustangs and Shelbys below, be sure to visit the Team Hoghead Garage!!
I have been a Mustang enthusiast
pretty much as long as I can remember. We had a neighbor who worked
for the local Ford dealer who had a Calypso Coral Boss 302 and a black
Mach 1 that I used to watch go by our house when I was still riding a
bicycle.
My brother-in-law has a beautiful 1968 Mustang GT Fastback that he used to drive daily and eventually did a "concours restoration" in the early 1980's. I really enjoyed riding in his Mustang and wanted one too. |

My first car still is my
1968 Mustang GT Fastback.
1968 Mustang GT Fastback purchased in 1978. Sunlit Gold Metallic, black standard interior, J-Code 302-4V engine, C-4 automatic, air conditioning, power brakes, electric clock, fold down rear seat, exterior decor group.

My next Mustang... and my
first project car was this 1967 Mustang Fastback that I built into a
Shelby clone.
1967 Mustang Fastback purchased in 1980. Originally Acapulco Blue, black standard interior, 289-2V engine, C-4 automatic. Completed in Raven Black with Hurst Olds Gold Lemans stripes, black standard interior, Mexican block 302-4V with Cobra dress up kit, Toploader 4-speed. Sold in 1981. |
|
My next project Mustang was this 1970 Mustang Grande... it never made it to completion. Purchased in 1982 and sold only a few months later. | |
Then in 1985 I bought this REAL 1968
Shelby GT350.
Candyapple Red with white Lemans stripes, black deluxe interior, Cobra 302-4V, Toploader 4-speed, Traction-loc rear axle, 16th Shelby assembled in 1968. Sold in 1986. |
|
My younger sister had a cute
Wimbleton White, 1965 Mustang coupe, black standard interior, 289-4V,
Toploader 4-speed for a while too. I think I enjoyed driving it more
than she did.
We had a stable full of ponies for about one year. |
|
In 1987, I purchased this 1969
Mach 1... the SAME day I sold my 1975 455HO Trans Am, but didn't have opportunity to do anything with it... what a
shame!!
Gulfstream Aqua, white deluxe interior, 351 Windsor 4V, FMX automatic.
