Dirk Howard at last year's Route 66 Organization's Fun Run. Dirk adds, "My Mustang was selected Best Mustang Convertible All Years for the last two years. I hope to make it three in a row! The Fun Run has been an international event for several years with Mustang and Camaro clubs coming from Germany and France. Last year where were over 800 cars registered for the three day event where you get to travel the longest continuous part of Route 66, about 180 miles."

Here is Miss Arizona 2013 and her court with Dirk's 1973 Mustang convertible. Dirk adds, "It's been photographed with Jack Roush, Mesa Mayor Scott Smith, Tempe Mayor Mark Mitchell, Numerous Cheer leaders and calendar girls. I even got pictures and interview with America's Toughest Sheriff Joe Arpaio. It has been seen in many famous places like Hoover Dam, Nellis AFB in Las Vegas, Shelby World Headquarters, TV Interviews, scenes in a short film, and a number of parades!"

Dirk says, "After 4 years sporting a Grant Shelby style steering wheel it now has a restored factory stock steering wheel. Now this Mustang has a COMPLETE ATTITUDE!"
