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?
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

What The F@*# Did I Just Buy?!? Part 2
My brother Thomas and I decided to make the trip up to Martinsburg, WVA to take a look at this car. We left straight from work, and 3 hours (and several winding backroads) later we had arrived. The owner uncovered the car, and we searched high and low for some indication of what the original [...]
The Earliest Pink Mustang Color: Playmate Pink
In 1965, The first factory pink mustangs were released. Known as “Playmate Pink”, they were done to match the 1965 Mustang given to Playboy Playmate Donna Michele, shown above, as reward for winning playmate of the year. The color carried over to 1966, and the original pink cars were all special orders, with six digit [...]
Is that your Mom's car?
I pulled up to a traffic signal today, top down, enjoying the sunshine, when a woman in a Cadillac pulled up next to my pink ‘65 Mustang.
I knew she wanted to say something, and as I rolled down the window, she asked: “Is that your mom’s car?”.
I couldn’t resist, so I piped up and [...]
