So my buddy John lives in San Jose California. He’s a mustang guy. In high school he had a ‘’66 coupe. He now has a 2004 black convertible GT and a 2015 white convertible GT.

AnyHoooo... we are “cruising” down to the Fabulous Fords Forever event in Anaheim California on April 15th.

Should be a fun little trip for just us fellas! I haven’t seen my brotha from anotha motha in a few years!
Just a taste of some of the things that’ll be there...

41 F-Series trucks
40 Raptor/Lightning trucks

And these celebs

This one looks like one from an off-road magazine spread (maybe Petersen's 4wheel and offroad?) from the late '70's, early '80's. I've always thought it was super cool. Was there any info about it??

The Style screamed 70’s but looking closer, it was a Fresh Rebuild and Fresh paint! I couldn’t say if it was redone original or a very flattering copy?

The Winch couldn’t have been more than the same width of the bumper! It was small, like for an ATV!?
