Love it. At a glance it appears that many were six cylinder cars.

I see a couple of Mustang GTs in the foreground indicating the picture was taken in April '65 or later.  There's also side view of a dark green convertible with a white top that has the accent group (rocker molding, paint stripe, scoop delete) similar to mine.  Great picture Galen!

Beautiful car Pete. How long have you owned it?

@bob-jackman 

Thanks Bob.  I bought it back in 1977 when I was in college.  I cleaned out my bank account and paid the second owner $500 for the Mustang, who had purchased it in 1971 from the local Lincoln-Mercury dealer.  It had been repainted a faded light blue.  Below is the day I brought it home.  That's my little sister "driving".  As I recall, it didn't make it all the way and I had to push it the last block and a half!

It was featured in Quentin Tarentino's last movie "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" in a scene in Westwood.  The lifter noise was dubbed!

The '72 in the garage was my first Capri.  I sold to my sister and bought the '74 because I wanted a V6 and a sunroof, which was always open!

I always love to hear a story of how a car (particularly a 60s Mustang) survived against the odds.  By the way, those 6 cyl. Capris were great little cars!
