My senior year
I fell in love
With my red and black Ford.
Called myself Mustang Sally
On  Dad’s C.B.
where I voiced
back and forth.
That car always gave me some trouble
even when I drove it right
a built in air conditioner
small hole in the radiator
made it run a little hot.
First stop would be my cousin’s house
and her bird dog  Effie
Scraping bottom of my purse
to make it to a movie
turning up the tune in car
to listen to the acoustics
Bad Co.’s work of art
Always loved their Music
Took a rode trip in my car
To the mountains I was bound
Walking along the rocky creek
Was a six pack of beer we found.
Didn’t drink it but we sold it
And gassed up the car some more
Might of ran a little faster
If  had been a four in the floor.
Still it was my favorite car
That I always will remember
Given to me on Christmas Day
the 25th of December
That car was a classic then
And even more of one now
If I could find the owner
I would buy it back some how.
.
.
.
(well actually we hid the 6-pack of beer and someone else stole it)

they were nice cars to look at..and they are classics... but not known for comfort. The back seat was just too small for any real "relaxation" (chuckling)

Nice memory... perhaps someday you can find the car or one like it...

I love that car! Hope you can find it, but they'll charge you triple what you sold it for.
LOL at the beer part of it, smart to leave it alone while the keys are still in your pocket.

Don't you know it!!!  
When My parents gave it to me...it looked brand new.  The people that had it had just put in a new engine. I just wonder if it's still around here somewhere????

67 was not a good year for back seats in muscle cars... small and not well padded they were difficult to get in and out of, lacked leg room and only youth made them bearable at all...

Sometime I'll have to write about the back seat in that old Chrysler New Yorker... now there was a back seat!!! If you weren't interested or motivated to go anywhere and you had the right company...a back seat could be a world of its own... lots of places to explore.

Upon reading this, I got an urge to listen to Hot Rod Lincoln by Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen. Enjoyed.

Salty girl, I love those Mustangs...my brother had a 1965 burgundy Mustang.....beautiful car.


Now, this makes me think of the 1987 aerocoupe 1987 SS Monte Carlo I just sold a few weeks ago.....
It was one of a limited amount made so that Dale Earnhardt could race it in Nascar that year. It was black with a red pinstripe...burgundy enterior....
We loved that car. We bought it brand new, and the first two speeding tickets I had ever gotten in my life were in that car...(Now, I didn't say those were the only two times I ever speeded...HeeHee) That car would RUN, I'm telling you.....

Well, I'll see you later. Thanks for the memories......

Opeth I don't think I am familar with that song....but I'll go download it just so I can listen to it.  Thanks for sharing


quik:  Laughing at you worring over my beer ..more than my car   lol
Thanks for reading

gary's girl:  

They could RUN alright....My Dad kept telling my foot was a little heavy, but I swear that thing ran hot even when I was good


a tone of voice:
and I even remember your first car, and how it always seem to quit running especially when boys were around to lend you a hand.  


Cpat back to GROK ....we'll figure out exactly what it was that you were exploring.
