So here is my baby: a Canary Yellow 1965 Mustang Coupe. Not only is it a super sweet ride, it's close to my heart for many reasons. First, because rebuilding a car is something I always wanted to do with my Grandpa, Al Norris, but I didn't get the chance before he passed away. Though he wasn't physically there with me while I rebuilt my first car, I used many lessons he taught me along the way. Second, because I was about to graduate from college, move to Seattle, and start "real life" when this car came along. The prospect of rebuilding it lured me back to Montana. Being back in Montana, I made some amazingly strong Christians who befriended me, mentored me, and encouraged me to change my perspective on things. That, in turn, led me to doing a DTS, so without this yellow car, I wouldn't be sitting here, looking at the ocean in Thailand, ready to embark upon a school that will undoubtedly change me forever. Finally, because this is my first car- my dream car, and it is running totally as a result of my bare hands. Few people understand the exhilaration of driving 100 mph in a machine they put together with their bare hands.
Though I love this car, God gave it to me and I fully trust that if He wants me to sell my car to pay for my School of Biblical Studies, he will provide another, in a whole new set of circumstances.
Here are the specs:
A newly rebuilt Ford Crate 302 V8 Racing engine
An Edelbrock Carb
Completely new suspension kit
New filters
3 speed manual transmission
A new black leather interior
A brand new huge $1000 stereo system (Alpine Deck, Focal Speakers)
American Racing Rims (Silver)
New headlight switch
The color is canary yellow, but it is a ten foot paint job (it looks best from 10 feet away). The body is amazingly straight, no dents, but there are a few spots that need some rust control before they become problems. I also have a brand new set of all the rubber for sealing the car, but didn't install it yet because I was waiting until after I'd repainted the car (because I decided to do DTS last minute in September, I didn't have the chance to paint it). I also have a disc brake conversion kit (also uninstalled) that comes free with the car.
This car is loud (dual exhaust) and fast. A blast to drive, and turns a lot of heads. It's impossible to stop at a grocery store or gas station without someone coming to talk to me about my car, which is awesome for me because I love talking about it!
