@jack-dodds Jack, I'll bet knowing someone else owns that beauty is tough.
Bit of a story about that Bob....which I mentioned a couple years ago, so I will give you the short story. The car was pristine when I owned it but sadly it was rear ended by a drunk driver back in '84 when parked and was written off (I got $6400 for it which reflected its condition/collectability at that time). A fellow I knew who owned a higher end body shop bought it from the insurance company and did a great job of repairing the driver's side rear quarter area of damage. I came across it in his shop being repaired and was extremely happy that it had been saved. I only saw it once in traffic after that and assumed it had been used up over the years and eventually scrapped. About four years ago I came across it at a car show; it was on display. The owner's card in the windshield was the same man who repaired it! I spoke with him and he remembered me. The car had only gone 10 thousand miles since I owned it; the guy said it is always garaged and taken out only a couple of times per year.

Thanks for the story - again. I remember it now. Cool 'Stang!
@perrone1 Tony; the strangest/funniest thing about finding my old Mustang at the show with so few miles added since I owned it was that in 1983 I had installed one of those cheapo steering wheel grip covers that lace up. All those years later it was still in place and in good shape!

They were near impossible to get just right!! To endure that long is remarkable!
