Silver Smoke Gray Metallic 1965 Mustang hardtop owned by Richard Estrella from Colorado Springs, Colorado. This is our featured Attitude Of The Week for the week starting January 2nd, 2017. Richard shares, "We are second owners. It is Arizona car and we bought it in 1973 (HS car). I restored it in 1988/89 and painted it to original color code K-Silver Smoke Grey Metallic paint and interior is restored to original white as well. It is a 6 Cylinder numbers matching car and the only big change is I installed a Tremec 5 Speed Trans back in 2008. We now live in Colorado where it shares a garage with a 1966 (code Q7) Brittany Blue Mustang GT Coupe we have owned 20+ years."

Richard's Silver Smoke Gray Metallic 1965 Mustang hardtop is very stock looking. It even wears a set of stock hub caps and white wall tires. Unlike today, most cars back in the day had hubcaps and white wall tires.

Silver and blue 1966 Mustang hardtop owned by Tony and Tammy Seader from LaSalle, Colorado. Tony tells us more, "It is fully restored. It has a 289 V8 with a Holly 4 barrel that runs very well. We added a 3-inch cowl hood and one of kind custom rear spoiler, both of which are painted blue for a nice two tone paint. The trunk is also finished with the same carpet as the interior. It has front disc brakes with Borgeson power steering and an all new suspension. The car runs and drives great - no disappointments any where. It is highly detailed and well taken care of."
