There's a color used on '66 Mustangs-and other FoMoCo products-called "Emberglow" that'd look nice on a 'Bird. I couldn't get just it to load offa paint cards. Kind of a coppery red-sorta.

Nice color. Very close to the color of my old mustang...

This isn't mine, this is a '66 I actually had a '64 1/2 That was a bit more gold than this.

Good grief, how many pages. Carpal tunnel surgery all went well, don't get pins and needles anymore when I play, not do I get the pain in my arm at night which used to wake me up. Also thanks to @Chucky Stiletti for the massive help getting my ashdown sorted.

The surgery is absolutely curative and is fast and easy. Relatively short recovery time also. I'm very glad I got it done.

But i was right for a change.

Yes, because you went to the internet! Always trust the interwebs!

Final assembly in the USA, maybe. They put the tone knob on at their warehouse at the port.

My guess is that the stamp is the same regardless. These knockoff shops know the value of “Made in USA” and stamp that and identical serial numbers on these headstocks.

It was on good authority.

Intel was clean.

UPS is messing with me. My new to me VP supposedly landed at my local facility (9 miles away) yesterday morning at 9:23 AM. The tracking says “a mechanical failure has delayed delivery...“ This morning it was scanned at 2:57 AM and again at 3:09 AM at the same facility. The next scan was 9:58 AM as “out for delivery.” So it’s now 7:30 PM and hasn’t arrived. I think I’d rather just not know when they’re saying it should get here.

Was there cold fried chicken involved when he woke up?

Fried in a watermelon.

That's odd, when I enter it into google translate it comes back as...
The Queen has fleas. Bring fried chicken.
(Well actually it says barbecued parrot, but I think Chucky meant fried chicken)

There was a bunch of pics of Mustangs. No 2 the same color. And I like the deeper reddish tone.

Who was it that was asking about the Tom Petersson tone?

This is it.

Still one of THE sexiest cars ever made.

My first car was gonna be a fastbang Mustback-as I called it-but the car lot wouldn't budge on price so I got one of these: 62 Impala, 327, powerglide(not mine, mine had a black top) I had it painted Emberglow. A month later some dipspit(sp?)hit-and-runned me. Car was never the same. Traded it for a 63 Volvo-which was a tight fit for my THUNDERBIRD/case.

I loved all the early Mustangs- coupe, fasback, convertible. Still do. I'd love to have one of each.
My folks got a '69 Impala 327 4door sedan. It was pretty fun for a biggish car, but suffered from early smog control efforts just off idle. On the other hand, when I accidentally threw it into reveerse while hard on the gas at about 30MPH, it just stopped, with no evidence of any problems, which was a relief to a terrified 16 y/o.

Ha! I did that in a Powerglide auto. Chirped the rear wheels and stalled. Restarted it and drove it for a few more years with no issues at all
