I met Jeff Denison at MCACN in 2018 with our Warwick Judge. Great guy

One funny story about that shoot: the diner was actually closed down so they could tape over the yellow parking lines and wet the asphalt down. They even staged "talent" inside the restaurant, so that it would look like it was open: Eric White, Dan Jensen, Dennis Jensen and at least one of their kids.

Some lady stopped by for lunch so Jeff had to approach her and tell her the diner was closed.

"It looks open to me" she said.

Jeff replied that it was intentional, so the photo shoot would look more authentic.

"Well - there's people in there!" she said.

Jeff tried to explain - again - they were "actors", again to make it look better, but she stomped off before he could finish.

I think her parting words were something like "I just wanted a d@mn CONEY!!"

The Lawman Mustangs Were Used For Performance Exhibitions Overseas During 1970, Including In Vietnam, Partially To Show The Soldiers What They Were Fighting For.

Before you accuse me of being anti furd... I have gone on record many times saying the 69-70 fastback Mustang is one of the most beautiful cars of all time.

However; the 71-73 is just too big and too ugly for me to appreciate any of them. It lost its soul.

And don't get me started on the Mustang II, which is nothing more than a makeover of a Pinto.

Apologies to anyone that owns and loves one of these. I get it; to each his own. Yeah, I am a bit grumpy tonight. Up late, and waiting on the pain meds to kick in.

Its like the third gen Dodge Chargers. Even though the second gen was a bit large, it was proportioned beautifully; and they ruined in with the next gen.

It's a 429 CJ Ram Air, not an SCJ. The 429CJ became a 429SCJ if the Drag Pack option was ordered which because of the AC this one didn't get the DP. It's a 4 speed with AC car. In 1971 it was Grabber Lime not Grabber Green.

Ford teamed up with such major sponsors as Goodyear, Motor Wheels, Hurst, Hooker, and B&M to create six of these cars. Sponsor names were on the cars as well as their equipment. All of the cars were built in Dearborn and taken from the Ford assembly line and shipped to Roy Steffe Enterprises in Fairhaven Michigan where they were modified and converted to what we see here

Having spent a year in that $hit-hole country during the time-frame this apparently happened, I can't imagine this going on. At an air base maybe??

On the one time I was near the docks at Danang I did see a freshly off-loaded no-frills '69 Camaro, either dusk blue or Navy equipment blue??

This is begging to be the subject of a caption contest.

Dude: "Well....see...it's a car. But it's a truck, too".

Lady: "Dude - WTF? I'm still not going to sleep with you".

Speaking of caption contests: I woke up Sunday morning to find this.

During the night my wife was restocking the fireplace, juggling a load of wood, dropped a log (not a euphemism) and the hearth just exploded. There was a hairline crack and that's where it let go.

She sent this photo to several family members and in order to solicit captions. We started off slow with things like "...if you wondering what kind of day you were about to have" or "my plans for the day just crumbled" and such, before ramping up to a couple favorites.

My sister in law (to the tune of the Elton John song): "Don't go breakin' my hearth"...

Me: LOG IN FAILED

I'm pretty sure it didn't look like that coming out of the factory. LS6, Column Shift Auto with Bench Seat.
