HI
hope i'm doing this correctly. let me know if not.
i'd like to introduce myself.
i live in Telluride, CO., have about 18" of the white stuff on the ground.
i have a 1972 mach 1 that i bought last year. back in 72 i ordered one from the factory when is was 23 so you can tell how 'young' i am. had a used red 67 fastback that i traded in for the new 72. traded the 72 in for 79 bronco. i have a picture of me w/ the 67 in chicago. hindsite is great, isn't it?
the 72 is in great condition, wimbledon white, matching numbers as far as i know. i added ram-air and dual exhaust, has a 351-2v. maybe the duals wasnt an option but i like the looks. i'm not much of a mechanic, but can bolt stuff together. repaired a rust hole on the inner apron. i cleaned up the car a lot. i get a lot of comments on it. i'll try and get a photo for you to see. won 3rd place in a car show up here.
i also have a 2000 H-D FXDWG. love that too.
i like camping, road trips, bowling, fly fishing, shooting, tequila, scotch, although i dont get to do a lot of that cause my business takes up a LOT of my time.
i'm trying to sell the business (alarm company) and house here and retire (semi-retire), would like to move to AZ, maybe mesa, AJ or Queen Creek area. looking for a house on a acre or more with 2-5 car garage/shop, pool, RV parking. that would be great. i would need to replace the non-working air conditioning. original air still in the car. the mach 1 is in storage for the winter. i'm already missing driving and working on it.
i would like to get a 67 FB again.
sounds like you have a lotta fun down there w/ your cars. would love to join you.
thanks,
Mike

Welcome to HPS Mike! I Have a 72' Coupe that I bought as a Senior in High School back in March of 77", so there are a few others who have been around Mustangs for more than a couple years.

The 71 - 73 Mustangs are not appreciated as much as the 64 1/2-66's or 67'-68's but no one can despuite the are part of the the Mustang Heritage. keep us posted on your moving plans

Welcome :). Just a FYI There are TONS of homes for sale EVERYWHERE in AZ right now. I know you will find a good deal anywhere. But if you are relocating to Mesa, Look up Extra Space Storage on Madero and if you need temp storage for your baby. I would love to have it here. Just ask Jacostang, He has stored here many times. We are here to make the transition an easy one, I can get you a deal here too as I am the manager :) And a pre-welcome to AZ. Look forward to seeing your baby soon :)

Pictures are easy. If you have them on your computer then look for the attachment link ^ its the little paperclip. Then go to town :) hope this helps, Trisha 2009 Copperstate Mustang Club Secretary

You can either post them to a reply so all can see or post them here http://www.highperformancestangs.com/gallery/showmembers.php/cat/500. If you have a question on any sizes or help with sizes rather you can go to a moderator, Burntire is the owner of the site, Jacostang can also help you out. There a couple more, but I dont remember them offhand. Hope this helps :)

Once you click the paperclip it will bring up another screen, from there you upload them and then once done you can go back to the paperclip and insert all I do believe, or one at a time. Thats how you can get them in a post :)
