Sorry for the crappy pics but it was a fair distance away and I was on the move while driving.
The color of the Mustang doesn’t come out well but it was a real nice aqua blue and it had a great stance.

That a Mustang or a Cougar?
Good looking D90 for sale down the street from me.
Looks like a California Special 68ish
I think Wes is right - looks like the California Special with the T-Bird tail lights and reflective side stripe.
I guess that car made its way across the country and setup camp along the Gulf Coast these days.
A few cars at a small car show/arts and crafts festival this morning.

Why is the tow truck on a trailer?
Because it has the original drivetrain and has a 45 mph cruising speed, and a long way back home to NJ from IA.
what is the A typical gear ratio for vintage Power wagon ?
I think they are almost 6 to one, like 5.83 or something
5.83:1.
I remember guys over on Steel Soldiers being excited about 4.88 "highway gears".

Ya gotta love it when the economy “highway” gear is 4.88:1 and the “work’n” gear is 5.83:1 - that tells ya just how much these things were built to do !
Or how weak the engine was
80-hp inline 6!
Probably redlined at 3,000-rpm too.

That is true - even the military deuces needed a 6.72:1 gear to give those light-switch power band motors help.
Under powered as they all were back then those motors chugged well at extremely low RPM’s and no doubt the added gearing was mandatory to get the workhorse reputations.
