Wow, what a day!  I visited the plant yesterday and Steve showed me a magnificent gun-metal-gray P-51 with wire wheels and a very tastefully done Mustang logo as a custom touch (along with the deep, rich, dark silver paint job).   This beauty is on its way to Texas and one lucky owner...

As it turns out, that wasn't the only gray Mustang on the premises....while I was there, an awesome early Ford Mustang rolled in.   Steve and I were admiring it when we asked the owner if it was a '64 or a '65.

Turns out it's a '65, and what surprised me even more was that I knew the owner, Frank, a former engineering student of mine at Cal Poly.   Small world, isn't it?
