X 2!   That is so cool. Thanks for sharing the story. Very interesting! How and when did you discover your Mustang to be a Skyway car?

Thanks again for the positive comments.  Everyone on this site deserves the same accolades for doing their part in keeping classic mustangs original and stock, the way they were built.  ;)

There are no current plans for the black Skyway car right now.  I'm still decompressing and doing some fine tuning on the white one.

We knew that it was Skyway car when the original owner told us back in 1978 that Ford had used it at the Worlds Fair in New York.  He was a retired Ford guy and he knew exactly what the car was when he bought it from the Ford resale "B" lot back in December of '65.

No blog, but I do have plenty of pictures--I will see if I can create an album and post some this weekend.
