I ordered 8oz of a Ford Fleet color known as WT9301 to test against my car and see if it’s actually the color of the early pink mustangs! I’ll post the comparison photos as soon as I’m done, but based of of the sample on the top of the can, it’s looking rather promising!
I’ll be [...]

1965 Pink Paint Sample is in, But is it Right?
To Cure a Car’s Cancer, You’ve Got To Find It First!
Getting an antique convertible back into top shape is no easy task. By far the worst part of it is stripping down the car and seeing first hand what years of damage and neglect have done to a once beautiful car. It’s also difficult to bear in mind that before I started stripping down the [...]
1967 Playboy Pink Mustang on E-bay
There’s a 1967 pink mustang up on E-Bay right now. The color looks to be “playboy pink”, and the Marti Report says that the color matched to WT9036. It’s a rare color, to be sure! The car is in need of a full restoration and it’s only a coupe, but it seems to be pretty [...]
No, My 1965 Pink Mustang is NOT Listed for Sale in Florida!
A special Thank you to everyone out there that called or emailed me regarding the apparent listing of my vehicle by a dealer located in Pompano Beach, Florida. For the record, this dealer took what he called a “stock photo” until he could get real pictures of the car up. I’m not going to get [...]
Convertible Top Pulled for Restoration
I’ve got the top out the mustang, and I’ve packed it away safely for the winter while I work on the body of the Mustang. Pulling the top out itself was simple, I did it by myself in about an hour. I was expecting it to be a lot more complicated that it really was!
Original 1965 "playmate pink" color
Here’s an image of what the original “playmate pink” on a ford mustang looked like. This photo was taken during the current dismantling and restoration of my 1965 convertible.
When I compare this original paint to 1957 Ford Thunderbird color charts from Ditzler, the color matches up perfectly to Ford’s Dusk Rose.
It’s my belief that the [...]
A few other pink 1965 Mustangs Surface
Back in October,
a pink 1965 mustang surfaced and the owner was looking to sell. It seemed to be in great shape, but the only downside to it was that it was missing the door plate. Unfortunately, without the original plate, there is no way to know if the car was a factory special order or [...]
Building a Stable for the Pony
Having a love for old cars carries with it an inherent problem: Where do you keep them all? For the odd junker or parts car, indoor storage may not be a necessity, but for an antique that’s in decent shape it’s a different story altogether.
Unfortunately, I purchased the Mustang without a garage space waiting at [...]
Interior and Carpet Restoration
I pulled the interior and carpet on the 1965 convertible Mustang with the intention of replacing pretty much everything. I wasn’t sure what condition the floor pans would be in, but I’ve patched and replaced pans in other mustangs, so the prospect doesn’t frighten me too much.
Here’s what the Mustang looked like before I got [...]
Paul McCartney at Fedex Field
You may or may not have been aware, but Sir Paul McCartney played at FedEx Field in Landover, MD Saturday Night. I went to see the show, and while the music was great, pretty much everything else was a train wreck. I drove the pink mustang out to the show because I was at the [...]
