[QUOTE="Fooj, post: 16706175, member: 194415"] So first off like to say my grammar skills are bad so ignore them all lol Back when i was kid like 10yrs old, a neighbor had a mustang sit in the driveway never driven or started up. I remember riding my bike by it and stopping to take a peep at it. It was almost creepy to me how it looked since it was just sitting in the driveway with like plants growing on it and stuff. As I got older the car stayed in the same spot, I asked the neighbor to where this car was at a little about it. Since i never saw the owner of it ever come out of the house. Maybe once im a while when he cut the grass but that was it. Anyway he said that it belonged to his brother that died in a car crash. Thats all i knew about the story when i was a kid. Around then i was a few more years older maybe 13-14, it finally move on a trailer and he was placing another car in the garage now that this mystery car has moved. I finally got to talk to the owner and he said that it was being moved to his mothers house and that he has a Ford Falcon that was his and wanted to restore it. I might've asked his at that time what this car was that has been sitting in the driveway for so many years but i cant remember. Now at one point before he had this car moved to his mothers houses a random car collector drove by and saw the car. He offered the man $30,000 for it and it was not a good shape as you can imagine the car has been sitting in the driveways for god knows how long. The owner obviously said its not for sale and that was that. So now that I am 36 and know a lot more about cars, I decided to write this person a letter to see 1, if its still around and 2, what kind of mustang it was. Here is what i remember as a kid, 60's style mustang, black with gold strips, fog lights on the front. I think it was a 1967 Shelby GT350 or 500. I remember it had a snake badge on the back of the car. If the owner writes back i will update this tread but, crazy to think possibly a original Shelby was right in front of me all those years just sitting and rotting away. [/QUOTE]
