Wow, what a day! I visited the plant yesterday and Steve showed me a magnificent gun-metal-gray P-51 with wire wheels and a very tastefully done Mustang logo as a custom touch (along with the deep, rich, dark silver paint job). This beauty is on its way to Texas and one lucky owner…

A tighter shot of the hand-painted Mustang logo…it’s done in real gold leaf, and the colors really work!
As it turns out, that wasn’t the only gray Mustang on the premises….while I was there, an awesome early Ford Mustang rolled in. Steve and I were admiring it when we asked the owner if it was a ’64 or a ’65.
Turns out it’s a ’65, and what surprised me even more was that I knew the owner, Frank, a former engineering student of mine at Cal Poly. Small world, isn’t it?
