While I have
liked trains since my earliest memory, my first true love had 4 wheels.
At the age of 15, I was at the beginning of my “motorhead”
period. 5 Mustangs including 2) 1970 Boss 302s and a 1968 Shelby GT350 resided
within 2 blocks of me over the next 10 years. My FIRST LOVE was a 1969
Mach 1. The Mustang below in not my car. I
found the photos on the internet here. But it has the perfect
1969 Mach 1 look to me. It is Candy Apple Red with the Mach 1 Stripes, the
Shaker Scoop, rear window slats, rear trunk spoiler, and Magnum 500 wheels.
Simply stated it is everything a 60s Muscle car should be.
I like Mustangs that are stock looking. The above Mustang pulled
that off very well but still has a Tri-Power 427 stuffed under the hood. There
was the whole Ford vs. Chevy thing going on through High School. The Muscle Car
era was still going strong in 1980. But you will not ever convince me that
any Camaro interior could come close to the (even then) classic styling of the
Pony Interior of the 1965 & 1966 Mustangs.
My
Mustangs
My first car was a 1965 coupe I
bought for $300.00. It was sunk in the mud in the back of a body shop in
Gloucester NJ. I will add photos of that car when I find them. I sold that and
bought a 1973 F150 pickup, then shortly thereafter bought my 1966 convertible
from my father’s boss. Over the course of 10 years I restored it twice, once
when I first bought it and then later as a result of being rear ended on my 28th
Birthday. Mustangs have been known to have some
rust problems. My 1966 was no exception. I had the entire floor and side frame
rails replaced. At 1 time during the process the only thing holding the front
and back of the car together was the driveshaft and
the brake line. The body shop later accidentally cut the brake line. Here is my
1966 convertible shortly after the first restoration was almost completed.
I liked the 1965 Mustang better
then the 1966 so I put some 1965 parts on it. I hunted for years to get the
1965 Mustang Styled Steel Wheels. There were some new Old Stock Ford parts
still available at the time but they were Gawd-Awful
expensive, especially when I was grossing a whopping $160.00 per week. When I
was done the 2nd restoration, the only exterior panel that was
original to the car being new was the driver’s side door.
I later traded my Pick-up for a
1969 Grande that became my daily driver for about 3 years. That had a 302
Windsor engine. My Mom had a 1972 Grande at the time, so for a while we had 3
Mustangs that were all 3 years apart parked in the driveway.

the old 110 Instamatic camera
I WANT
to get another Mustang again…
But I will
buy it already restored.

Shelbys!
I
went to the Shelby American Auto Club SAAC 33 meet in Millville NJ on 8-17-08.
What
an awesome day!
I
still cannot believe seeing the Mega $$$ REAL Shelbys
and Cobras getting
mashed,
thrashed and a few even had some “off roading” all in
the name of fun!

Music
I have always been a very big music
fan. It has been a very close 2nd interest to trains my whole life.
I am the youngest of 3. My oldest sister would let me play her record
collection whenever I wanted. I first liked Simon & Garfunkel
in the late 60s then had a BRIEF Gilbert O’Sullivan thing. I then went through
an Elton John phase (who didn’t) from about age 10 to 13. Then it was 2 years of Peter Frampton. During
my Frampton period I started listening to this new guy from New Jersey named
Bruce Springsteen. There was also a DJ named Ed Sciaky on the former Album
Oriented Radio station WIOQ FM that played a lot of Bruce. Ed and Bruce were
friends. Ed was very big on promoting Bruce in the Philadelphia area. He was
and always will be my favorite DJ, having passed on January 29, 2004. I went to
my first concert ever on May 26, 1978. My life was truly changed forever that
night. It would be my first of almost 30 Bruce concerts in 30+ years since
then, including going backstage for one of them. More on that
later.
I now have over 5000 songs copied
to my hard drive. I have not used a CD player in the apartment in years. I just
cue up a group of songs in Winamp and let them play while I work on my trains
or whatever...
I don’t trade
much anymore since I think I have “enough” to listen to, but this is my live
music trading list. Contact me if you want to trade. I believe in quality not
quantity. I cannot listen to a poorly
recorded show.

RIP Dan –
You are missed greatly!

Southside
Johnny Videos
These top video was shot at Cooper River Park in Pennsauken NJ on 8-21-07. It was a free concert. Southside was in great form and it was a great night out. My camera is a digital still that does video too. The still photos did not turn out well compared to the videos. I used Windows Movie Maker to make 1 WMV file from 5 songs. It is about 20 minutes long and 71 MB. It opens in Windows Media Player for me.

The
A’s were a band in the 1980s that were promoted by 93.3 WMMR. They were most known
for their song “A Woman’s Got The Power” which I have always liked. They
reunited for a few concerts during Thanksgiving 2007 opening for The Hooters.
The Hooters were also promoted by WMMR. They were one of the most successful
bands to come out of Philadelphia during that time. It was a great show. I am
glad I went. I hope The As continue their touring. I also would like to get the
original As music on CD some day.

Tropical Fish
Finally a hobby I share with my wife.
My Pop had
about 6 fish tanks before I was born. That is one of the few things in his life
that I could almost call a hobby. I picked it up when I was about 12. I was
very into it in spite of the fact I only had a 10 gallon tank. It is very
relaxing to watch the constant graceful moving photo in the tank. I had
suggested getting fish to her previously. There are not many pets we can have
in our apartment. We have a 29 gallon community tank. She had a separate 5
gallon tank that just for the Betas. We just got a new 20 gallon set up. Gold
Chunk lives there now. We will get a bigger tank when we get a house.
We lost Lenny, our first fish on 1-14-08
Gone but not forgotten….
Introducing Leo
Leo
decided to live with us on 1-15-08 but did not last long…
We have
not been successful with keeping Betas so we have taken a break but still like
them.
Say Hi to Gold Chunk!
We took Gold Chunk home on 8-30-08 for our 6th
anniversary.
