Driving up the street, this caught my eye. Never noticed it before, a buried 1965 Mustang coupe. I'm pretty sure it's a 1965 as 1966 Mustangs came standard with rocker moldings, and this one doesn't have them. The way it's parked the side scoop ornaments are not visible and the trash dumpster is blocking the grill. This V8 Mustang's got a fiberglass cowl induction hood with hood pins and some billet aluminum wheels that were popular in the '80's. Ironically there's a wheel boot on the right front tire, as if the Mustang is in danger of getting stolen.

Sadly, that Mustang is not going anywhere anytime soon.

I agree with John - I noticed the red wheel boot before I read your text - and the hood pins and racing scoop. We ARE all car guys here, aren't we? HA!
Good amount of rust on the car, for CA. But still worth saving!

That's too bad. I hope somebody comes to it's rescue.😟

Bob, both the driveway and backyard are filled with stuff. Some people can't part with anything!

@pete-rovero I'm thinking the house is probably not a candidate for Good House Keeping.
