1966" Ford Mustang Coupe (Version 1) "Ol'Blue"
This was the car that started it all for me. After I "accidentally" in 2014 stumbled over a video of "Ol'Blue", A blue 66" Mustang coupe owned by Californian racer, Mike Maier, an ambition to own one began - and to build something similar to Mike's car. Something I kinda managed to do with my own style. Built in a simple garage in Norway, this clean beauty was the result of many hours of hard work and creative solutions. With blue New Holland tractor paint, wide tires and black, classy rims, and all the time having a "low buck" style, it turned out to be a beautiful tribute car to Mike Maier.
I use it as a wonderful type of transportation to get around in the spring and early summer woodlands and backroads.
