2004 Ridgewood Car Show

Had a great night, meet some great people. A Ford Mustang won overall best car. It is hard to describe Ridgewood, NJ in one paragraph. So I'll say that I hope the teenager that won best overall car, thanked Daddy for buying it and having somebody restore it for him. There were a lot of cars that people worked on for years. Mustangs usually dominate car shows for some reason. But hey I'm a Mopar guy so I have adjusted to this situation. Not that I want to ram political correctness down your throat but if you are thinking about restoring an old car that won't see much mileage and it is not a highly collectible car why not try a conversion like this

1965 Mustang EV conversion http://www.austinev.org/evalbum/098.html and build something cool with your son. Now if you aren't thrilled by an electric 'stang and you have some bucks to blow on a car resto. Try this. 1965 Mustang Convertible with a 224 Hp 320 CDI Mercedes BlueTec Diesel. If having a 35 mpg mustang that does over 100 not thrill you then dump a recent Mercedes diesel and get a Rennetech or AMG chip upgrade and run biodiesel figure 30 mpg and you can still go 1/4 drag racing.

Thats how we we transfer the hobby to the next generation. Don't be a "same'ling" build different, drive different.
