Ford Mustangs & Mustangs, Legends Havin' Fun Car Show - Putting Legends Together

Here's a story we're sure you'll enjoy as much as we did...

...We were intrigued by the "original owner" signage on this Sauterne Gold '66 Fairlane GT and discovered that Glynn Johnson of Lake Alfred, Florida, had bought the Fairlane brand-new (trading in a '63 Fairlane for it) as a graduation present for his son...

...Problem was, his son wanted something else, so Glynn kept the 390 GT Fairlane for himself. After all these years, the original paint is in great shape, and the 'Lane shows only minor wear and tear...

Remember the F-series we mentioned earlier? Like we said, there were several, from modified 5.0 EFI-powered trucks to this shining example owned by Donald Wekle of Longwood, Florida. His '53 F-100 looks sharp in its original paint scheme and has a few minor custom touches.

Falcons, Falcons everywhere! The Suncoast Chapter of the Falcon Club of America usually has a mini-meet at the Fantasy of Flight show, and this year they had several cars in attendance. From restored four-door Falcons to high-performance, modified, early two-doors, and, of course, Falcon-based Rancheros, they were all great-looking cars.

This year the show included a mobile dyno for those curious as to what their Ford-powered ride was putting to the tire. While we saw a steady stream of late-models waiting for the chance to put up the big number, we caught a few classic rides on the rollers, including IMPC member Dave LaRocco's '66 GT fastback.

The details, such as the body-color engine bay and engine components, the Shelby-look exterior, the rollbar, the polished wheels, and more all added up to a nice package that really caught our attention...

...As a show sponsor, Mustang & Fords had the honor of picking an editor's choice at the show. We chose Karl Stead's '66 restomod fastback from Plant City, Florida.
