Check out Vincent Pirrone's 1969 Mustang GT fastback. It is our featured "Attitude Of The Week" for November 7, 2019. Vincent shares,
"When I graduated High School in 1982, I got a job on a used car lot
and it came in on trade. I traded the car my parents gave me for graduation, a 1976 AMC Pacer for it. Trade in Value $850. It has been
restored 3 times over the years. The Last time, 2004, I modified it
for me. Now it still has a 351w C9OE Block, 40 over, Flat top pistons
and stock Crank, retrofitted with a Crane roller cam, Victor JR heads,
Edelbrock Pro-Flo EFI. And headed up by Twin Paxton Superchargers, and
Backed with an Art Carr Extreem AOD with 3600 Stall Converter. The
exterior is stock. Color is a Mitsubishi color from 2005, Rotor Glow.
Wheels are 2003 Mustang. Seats are 2005 Mustang GT. Roll Bar and custom Interior. VERY, Fun to drive!"

Here is a super rare Mustang. It's a Silver Jade 1969 Mustang E' fastback owned by Tim and Barb Wise from Springfield, Illinois. 96 of these were made for the Mobilgas Economy Run, but only 50 were ever sold. Tim tells us more,
"My wife and I restored this car in our home garage. Six years in the making. Every nut and bolt came out and was restored or replaced. We did a concours build. Everything is totally correct as it left Ford. All work done in our home garage minus engine and trans rebuilds. Bodywork including paint all done at home."
On the rear fender is the Mustang 'E' decal. Tim and Barb know a lot about the Mustang E. They provided the research for the Mustang E in our Mustang Special Editions book. This car was produced for the coast-to-coast Mobil Economy Run sponsored by the Mobil Oil Corporation and operated by the USAC (US Auto Club). It was a 6-day race for fuel efficiency (mostly) from Los Angeles to New York City. The Mustang E finished 3rd in 1968, after ending the race early in Indianapolis after the death of Martin Luther King Jr.
Here is an even closer close-up of the Mustang E decal.
The heart of the Mustang E was this L-code 250ci 6-cylinder engine. The Mustang E also had the F-code (2.33) rear end, C4 automatic transmission, and a 1-inch larger torque converter. The cars did not have air conditioning.
