One of the cars I would really love to buy is a Tremec 5-spd manual mid-sixties Mustang fastback / GT350 tribute - Eleanor would be nice too

My Dad had a green 1952 Oldsmobile with Hydramatic. I went for my drivers test in a neighbors 1948 green Plymouth, 3 speed column shift.

Would be fun. But, I don't think Ford offered a 5 speed transmission in the 60s.

I was 6 years old. On a Ford Model 8N in the barnyard. Grandpa put me on the tractor and told me to drive in circles around the light pole. I was totally stoked.

I don't think Ford offered 60s tributes in the 60s either...
