Well I've been here for awhile lurking and figured I'd finally introduce myself since I have nothing else to do. :P

I'm Nathan, I'm 19 and I'm a student studying to be a firefighter/paramedic. I've got a 1965 Mustang GT coupe and a 1984 Mustang SVO. My family and I completely restored my '65 when I was 16 and I drove it all through my senior year of high school. The '65 has a stroker 347 with a toploader 4-speed and the SVO is only slightly modded. That's really all I can think of now lol.

Pics of the '65:

Welcome aboard Nathan. Very sharp looking car. Where are you located (cant make out the plates on the car) looks like some beautiful scenery up there.

Welcome.

Great looking 65.

It's really good to see younger people still dig old Mustangs.

Thanks for sharing it with us.

Yeah, they're staggered, 14 in front, 15 out back. If I remember correctly, the car under the cover was a convertible '69 Camaro, those pics were taken at the previous owners house in Washington.

Welcome aboard Nathan, I lived in Bend 05-06, still have fond memories regardless what DDuane says!

Hopefully you're part of the Deschutes County Mustang Club, that's a great club, lots of cruising and track time!

Thanks, yeah I'm a member of the Deschutes County Mustang Club, although it's not quite as active since Steve Kelley moved to California last year.

Next time you go to a club get together tell Steve Wilson (Turtle), Farmer says hello! Let him tell you the story behind those titles.

If you get a chance to ride in Gary's GT500 (either one) take it, also take a change of underwear :toot

Haha, alright will do, what does Steve drive? I've been trying to get Gary to let me drive one of his Shelby's for the longest time lol, my grandfather and him used to work at the Fire station together so Gary's a family friend. The new GT500's are pretty scary though, my uncle has an '07 GT500 and then he just bought an '08 GT500KR a couple weeks ago, both are CRAZY lol.

Turtle drives a V6 vert, it was the slowest car at PIR when we went in 06...hence the name Turtle!
