In 1970 I returned from Vietnam and bought a mint condition 1965
Mustang Fastback, 289 2V, C4 auto, power steering and brakes, for
$1,069 WITH the financing charges included. I sold that car to get
married.... : 0 ) My cousin still drives it, and the marriage went
bust after 13 years.

Wonder what the collector cars of the future will be? The 2005
Mustang? Scion? Hummer?
