1969 Mustang "Boss 302"

My love for muscle cars came about when I was a young boy growing up. I had the opportunity to learn first hand what auto mechanics and fast cars were all about. My father and his buddies were always working on cars in the garage; dad and his friends were into local stock car racing; classic car restoration. As I grew older this exposure and passion for cars became a part of my life. As I was growing up through the sixties and seventies; it was easy to love the looks, the style and performance of the cars built to attract the novice car enthusiast to the best of car collectors.

I remember when I was about twelve years old; walking home with my buddies we saw this beautiful baby blue mustang, I remember it because my father had a passion for mustangs, as he already had a 1965 mustang that was a shinny red with white top. To my surprise when my buddies and I came around the corner of the house; what did we see in our driveway; but that very same baby blue mustang we had seen earlier. To be precise it was a1969 Boss 302, we saw my dad and his friend standing by it, we were in awe of the beauty of the car. When my dad saw us he asked if we wanted to go for a spin, of course we didn’t refuse, who in their right mind would say no.

The next day my buddies were still as excited as I was that we got to cruise with my dad in the newest version of his passion the Ford Mustang. It was just the beginning of a love affair and passion for beauty, power, speed that has as I can attest to; put great distance in many a relationship between man and woman.
