My wife Finally got to drive her dream car.......

Well, my wife Jeanette, FINALLY was able to get to drive her dream car!!! Those few of you that have met her, know how special that moment was for all of us... She's pictured here with family friend, car owner, Buzz Rose. It's a 1971 Mach1 Mustang with a 429 SCJ engine. I took her and the kids for a ride in it and we tried to get some video, but my cell couldn't get a clear picture due to the bright sunlight... And YES, she actually did drive it... I wish we could've gotten video, it was priceless!!!


The warehouse we're in has 28 cars in it. One Mustang for every year, except '64-1/2. This includes a couple Shelby's, one GT 350 & one GT 500KR. One, possibly two Eliminator Cougars. But one for sure. A '62 Galaxie 406 Tri-Power car, an unrestored '70 Boss 302. In his "other" shop there's an unrestored '69 Boss 429 in Wimbeldon White, that he bought from actor Peter Dewell's estate action after he died soometime in the 70's. This car has 22,300 original miles on it. He said to get ahold of him later on, and he "may" let me drive it. Also a Pantera, an SC Cobra Kit car. He even has an old Montana Highway Patrol car from 1973 that he restored back to original. He was even able to get in contact with the trooper that originally drove it. It has less than 100,000 miles on it and still retains the original 460 P.I. engine. I told him I need to go down there, and get pics of all of his cars so I can post them up here. A few years ago, he sold the '66 Fairlane that Ed Terry used to drive, to another local guy here. He got ahold of Ford, and got all the original paperwork from when the car was built. I'll see if I can get a pic or two. Then I'll tell ya the story that Ford told him about the car "not existing."

i bet she was happy! you'll be outa the dog house a few days!

Yeah, now would be a good time to buy some parts...

Thanks Rick... Well, up until about 3 weeks ago, she wanted her kitchen remodeled. If you remember, when you guys were here, there was an island in the middle of the kitchen, which posed a problem for her with ther wheelchair. I did this all in just 2 days, 3 weekends ago...



I took the island out, and the cabinet next to the stove. Installed the new cabinets, repaired the old floor, and laid down the Spalted Maple laminate flooring. She's much much happier with her new kitchen...

Buzz is a great guy. He always brings some interesting cars to the International Mustang Meets.
He had the Boss 9 in Billings 2 years ago. Drove it all the way there on the ORIGINAL bias ply tires
Good job on the kitchen Doug, I bet the missus has a big smile.
