When I came home from ND in June of ‘67, my father rented a ‘66 or ‘67 Mustang from Hertz for me to drive.

The GTO had been sold, so I saw this gold fastback Mustang in the garage. I thought, “Rental car? Probably a dog.”

I was wrong. Oh so wrong.

It was the most frightening car I had ever driven, up to and including the present.

It had neck-snapping acceleration and when it got up to speed (80+), I thought it was going to take to the air because the body was so light.

I don’t know if this was. Carrol Shelby model, but it was a fucking beast.

I never told my dad what kind of fire-breathing monster he had rented for me.
