1967 Nightmist blue gt500 (Dads first car)

[flattrack53]

Hemmings Muscle Machines came out and did a photo shoot on my dads first car. The car just finished a complete rotisserie restoration about 3 weeks prior to them coming out. I recommend that everyone picks up an issue. They did a great job on the 5 page spread. This was his best $500 investment :beer:

The ancient photo of him is from the 70's and the current one is from the beginning of June. I put a little interior teaser photo. If you want to see more pictures, pick up an issue!

Wow awesome, its cool to see how we change but the automobiles stay timeless if we take care of them. Thanks for sharing.

Wow that's quite the feat to be the original owner! Good for him.

Very cool! One hell of a first car.

Gorgeous car. Perfect color combo for it IMO. If it's a 4 speed then its perfect. Jim Morrison had one VERY similar to it.

Wow those are some great shots and love that color. Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful car, crazy to see he held on to it for so long. My uncle has a 70 Chevelle that has never left the family(his dad bought it new and he restored it and it is willed to me). I know its not in the same class but cool none the less. I will have to grab that issue.

In 1967 when they came out they were $4,195. Well that was the base price for one.

Haha, that is funny that you noticed that. He bought the watch a year before he bought the car. It is a Breitling Navitimer

That cover shot is the perfect angle for this car! :coolman:

That was your dads first car? DAMN! Must be nice. Looks great. anymore pics?

 

[offroadkarter]

yes, more pics! That is definitely a hell of a first car.

I am literally blown away. What a great looking fastback and a one of a kind story to back it up. I know that a number of us members reminisce about owning the stangs from our youth, but to see an enthusiast follow through is something else!!

Car is beautiful dude...

 

[Planter]

props to your dad.
