Apr 21st, 2017: Cretors' Wagon

Somebody more car-savvy and into cop thriller classic films should do a proper write-up on a recent headline...

A man bought an old white Mustang at a Mexican junkyard. Couple hundred bucks, tops. He was planning to have it customized into Eleanor from "Gone in 60 Seconds" (shudder...but I'm not a big Cage or Jolie fan). Then he ran the VIN number.

It's being restored, all right, as of LAST MONTH, but not into Eleanor. No, it's going back to its original green because it is the missing "Bullitt" Mustang they've been trying to track down for FORTY-NINE YEARS. Apparently, Steve McQueen tried to buy the other green Mustang used in shooting back from a museum not long before his death and was turned down.

Hopefully whoever's restoring it does the kind of job that was done on the popcorn wagon! That is truly gorgeous.
