It’s pretty cool to happen upon a car show in the course of running weekend errands. I normally have a calendar event for the major shows and/or the ones I plan on attending. But now and then I see one in passing, and of course I am compelled to stop and usually do. Sometimes there are some real gems. By gens I mean cars you don’t see at the average car show as they may not be in top condition or even restored at all (that doesn’t stop me) and the owners would enter them.
You don’t need shiny paint to go to a car show. Here’s #ProjectSportsRoof at its first car show.
A couple of weeks ago I picked up my son at his place and we took care of some business. I always have my ‘old car’ radar on and it went off as we passed a little church. We had finished all of our tasks so I stopped. There may have been 15 cars in the parking lot with hoods up and doors open. True to form there were a few cars that one rarely sees at a car show.
This awesome Fox-body Mustang Vert was in the line-up:
 Fox-Body Vert w/ Whale Tail! |
 Oh MAN!! Look at that plumbing!!!! |
There was this 1964 Chrysler 300 K. You don’t see many of these at a show. Love that it’s a 2 door.
 ’64 Chrysler 300 K |
 Cool Steering Wheel!! |
Here is a rare sight!!! Mercury Comet Caliente VERT!!!!
 This Comet is in O.K.shape |
 This cars is nicely preserved and a little body work has been done, but still very nice car. |
But this next car was my favorite as unlikely as that may seem, I’d buy this car and I’d show it big time!!! Check out this 1974 Mustang II:
I think it’s a sharp little car!!!
Nice wheels!!!!
Yeah..that’s a V8 – 302!!
Still lots of room under that hood.
Interior is so awesome.
You can tell that this car was stripped and restored. It was painted with, even the interior, with a white rhino lining/satin like paint. It is just amazing and I’m was impressed.
Thanks for reading.

I can appreciate the mustang II as the right car for the times, but that is about it. The car was a sales success, but once they finished daily driver duties, they were marched to the crusher. The motorhead collector market voted on this car.
Love that 300, but would probably pick the fox mustang as the car to put in my garage.
The Mustang II were awful back in the day. But it’s what you can do with them now.
