Great to have wife who wants the car then you do! We found our mustang buried under hay in a barn in Massachusett coming from Dearborn Plant in April 1st 1964 on a DSO 11 shipping to Boston. It wasn't perfect, but the dry hay had frozen it in time of the bicentennial judging from the bumper stickers, and kept all the parts together.

All the panels are stamped March Dates, as well as a blue engine (think came off line from Falcon because building so fast) The Radiator support (with rusted factory lettering) showed was C337 skid on factory, was a 76A convertible with a 486 black...
