Car Shows


In my often free days, when I'm not walking Arthur I'm watching a variety of car rebuilding shows on The Discovery Channel. I've been watching shows like this for a long while, one of my favorite shows all through college was Monster Garage. Well this morning someone was rebuilding a 1970 Ford Mustang Fastback, my Dad's was a 69 or a 70. I really want to to buy my Dad his, or a similar, Mustang for him to have to work on/rebuild in his retirement, if not just to have to ride around and enjoy. I would love to buy his exact one, a guy in Pulaski,VA owns it now and has had it under a tarp for years. My Dad told me he had it repainted, originally it was a pale yellow, now I think it may be green, but other than that it has just sat there. I just it I sold a few guitars I could scrape up the money, but I'm not sure he'd sell it to me, or for how much. For some reason this is all I can think of, my Dad smiling as he cruises down route 11 in Pulaski, window down, listening to the radio with my Mom sitting shotgun asking him to slow down. I don't think he'll ever slow down.
