Willie Nelson on a Mustang…

Folks, I can’t make this stuff up…

Steve’s new collection of vintage Mustangs includes a lot of really cool stuff, not the least of which is a great collection of photos.   When I saw that one above, I knew two things right away:  I had to share it with you on the blog, and if anyone knew who that rider is, it would be our very own Jimbo!

So, I sent a quick note to Jimbo, and he came through!

Joe:

Yes!  His name is Willie Nelson.  He worked on the Mustang assembly department and did some light racing for Mustang.  He left just while I was still building engines.

Jimbo

How about that, folks!   Jim actually knew the guy in that photo, and his name was Willie Nelson…or should we call him Wheelie Nelson?

Thanks, Jimbo!
