Hopefully many others had a chance to get out with members of their family.  Will try to attach a short video here but not sure if it will exceed the maximum file size allowed or not.

Great to see another one out on the road.  Especially on Father's Day, an oft neglected holiday in the west.
"Low she sits on five spoke wheels
Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

Are these the 3360/3361s I redid?

If so, mind if I steal the video for my page?

Super cool either way John!
Thanks

Nice. While I couldn't rip on it I drove my oldest son and his 3 Daughters around Greenfield Village(probably illegally with no car seats) Sat and Sunday for the motor muster. We just cruise real slow and they love it with the top down.

We started a tradition many years ago. We go to the Motor Muster at Greenfield Village for father's day weekend. My oldest son and I take the Shelby there(This year the Mach1 was entered but we substituted my friends original paint 69 Boss 429). We set up and go out to eat at The "Ford Garage" right by there. My kids show up Saturday and Sunday and we spend the weekend together doing the village, Museum and of course the cars. My oldest Grand Daughter I let  pick all the cars this year. Guess which car she picked for the 70-79 class? LOL. I had all 3 grand Daughters driving on the village roads. How legal is that without car seats? Cops didn't say anything but we are going no more than 5 MPH and everyone around are careful. Great times and wouldn't trade the memories for anything. Gary

I've never been to Motor Muster but I did go to the Old Car Festival (1890s through 1932) a few years ago. A really neat setting for old cars... :)

We love driving around the village. I entered my Shelby and my 69 Mach1. My wife didn't want to bring 2 so my friend brought his Boss 429 in its place. He offered to let my son drive the Boss around the village and my son declined. He hadn't driven a stick in years(my 68 Shelby) but I think it was more of the value of an original paint B9 that made him hesitant. My Grand Daughters love driving around the village. Gary

Thanks Bob. The girls had a blast. Their younger sister is too young to "get it" yet. I had them pose in front of a lot of cars. They sat in my friend's original paint survivor B9 and you can see how happy they are. I had to link the pic because "THE UPLOADER IS FULL". https://www.flickr.com/photos/shelbymann1970/51281357781/in/dateposted-public/
