Before we get to today’s interview I want to share a new feature called the Mustang Marketplace. The marketplace is a place to buy and sell classic Mustangs, see what parts are up for grabs, and coming  soon, we will have a place for all our service providers (restorers, mechanics, YouTubers and more in our amazing Mustang community to share what they do and how they do it. You get to the marketplace by going to TheMustangPodcast.com and clicking on the Marketplace tab at the top of the page. Check out the Mustang marketplace today…ok, on with the episode today.

With 5 Mustangs in his past and over 35 years of wisdom and lessons learned as a proud Classic Mustang owner, Pete Engel is here to share the good, the better and the best about ownership. He even had one that ended up in a Swiss Mustang Museum. Welcome Pete to Ford Mustang The Early Years Podcast.

Ford Mustang, The Early Years Podcast -- Guest Interview Application
============
Do you own an early year Mustang?: 
yes

If you own a Mustang, how long have you owned your ride?: 
I've owned 5 over a period of 35 years. I would be happy to briefly review each one on your podcast, with pics. The 65 GT convertible Special Order State Department car (see pic) stands out among them.

If you own a Mustang or classic car, have you named your car? 
I once had 3 at the same time -- Red, White, & Blue. I had a 64.5 Pagoda Green one, and now have a Springtime Yellow GT.

What work have you done on your pony?
All 5 were driver quality cars, no projects. One was a show car and ended up in the Swiss Mustang Museum, located near Zurich, Switzerland. All 5 have interesting stories around them. I would be happy to share pics of all of them, and summarize the stories behind each of them, before the show.

What plans do you have for improvements/restoration/modification of your classic car?: 
My current 66 GT coupe is in need of some mechanical work after a recent 4 hour trip down the Blue Ridge Parkway. It has 85K original miles and not sure about the past history on the engine. Every year I lead a group of enthusiasts on a tour down to the Amelia Concours, and every year I take a different one of my collector cars. The tour is called "Amelia Island or Bust" (see Facebook group and pages). The plan is to bring the GT down. If not next year, then one year soon. We can discuss joint promotion or sponsorships regarding that tour if there is any interest. Thanks,

Company Name: 
Vintage Air

Website:
www.vintageair.com

Do you own a Classic Car? 
My old `39 has been called a few things through the years (I have owned it for almost 40), but no "official" name.

Are you a supplier of products to Mustang and Classic Car enthusiasts?: 
yes

Have you ever made improvements to your classic car or restored it?
I first built my `39 Ford Deluxe in 1984, actually used a few Mustang parts (steering box, column, and rear axle). It was the only car I owned for a while, drove it every day. After 30 years and over 180,000 miles, I rebuilt it a few years ago. Basically rebuilt the car from the ground up but we replicated the paint job that we first did in 1984. Kept the car looking the same, but it's a much better build this time around.

What plans do you have for improvements/restoration/modification of your classic car?
Plans now are to continue to drive and enjoy it. We have already driven it on Vintage Air Road Tours to Biloxi, Mississippi and Lake Havasu, Arizona. This year's Tour is going to Nashville, Tennessee for the Triple Crown event.

From childhood enthusiast to lifelong owner of his Classic Mustang. Paul Mickelson, I know I am excited to hear the rest of the story, welcome to Ford Mustang The Early Years Podcast.

Paul’s guest request: I believe my story is unique to Mustang ownership. I have an early (64.5) D code coupe with a 4 speed. Rally Pak and console. It was ordered by my father for a Libby who traded cars every 7 years. I was 9 in 1964. When she took delivery of her new Mustang I was at the dealership. In my best big boy voice I mentioned that when she traded her Mustang in 7 years I would be 16 and planned to buy it. Well if you’re interested in the rest of the story I’d be happy to share.
