Goolsby customs builds an all-out, museum-ready 1969 sportsroof for the ages.

Goolsby's Gold

Now that 2016 is well into its second half, it got me to thinking about my relationship with Mustangs and with Mustang Monthly. And the main point? I have been involved with the cars for more than 30 years and with the web and print title for exactly half that time in some form or another since 2001. Three decades is a long time to have been focused on one model of car. And in that time, I have owned a total of 22 Mustangs. Twelve of those were late-model cars that included six Fox-body 5.0s, an SN-95, and four S197s.

But it’s the vintage cars that make me feel nostalgic as I look back. The car that started it all for me was a 1966 fastback that came into my life in 1986, 30 years ago, for the princely sum of $2,400. Three years later, just a month or two after it got a fresh red repaint, the buzzsaw-289-four-speedequipped Pony was relieved of my possession from a San Diego State University parking garage. I never saw it again.
