Hat!
My ex-stepfather (MHRIP) bought a '64-1/2 / '65 (Never did find out EXACTLY what the OFFICIAL year was on it...) 2+2 Fastback. Black interior, white exterior, the original "mag" wheels that came on the 'tangs. If I remember correctly, the speedo topped off at 140, and that ba5tard was always trying to get there! He didn't care who was riding in the front, back, under the trunk lid, he just wanted to go F****ng FAST! One ride, I caught a peak at the odometer and he had it just about to the top...130'ish! About 9PM on HWY 41, heading north out of Oshkosh towards Neenah. I didn't think I was going to make it to my next birthday.
I see that picture looks to be a '66 or so. Right?
BTW, even for a little puke like me, there was, still, no room to sit in the back seat of those things. The worst ride, for back-seat passengers, I believe is the Ford Torino (68-69?). I had to turn my feet (size 7-1/2) side-ways because I couldn't get my toes underneath the driver's seat. Most painful 2.5 hours in a car in my life. I rode home with a different person.
