What is your dream car?

A young boy will most likely grow up with his dream car in mind. I was in high school when I fell in love with a car and dreamed of driving it for a girl I wanted to date.
This car was the concept car in the movie “Back to the Future” which featured Micheal J. Fox. I love it when it opens its doors like you are opening a freezer. The closest thing to that was the Lamborghini Countach (which literally means an exclamation in the Piedmontese language usually used by men when seeing an extremely beautiful woman).
With this in mind, we will venture into the dream cars of our automobile freaks. Beginning this week, we feature personalities in the motoring community to speak about their dream car. Let’s start with the man which personifies driving in stryle—whether on the fast lane or simply cruising along the autobahn highway.

“The ‘66 mustang was my dream car.
When I saw a red mustang fastback passed through our car at the intersection of Buendia and Ayala Avenue in Makati, I fell in love with the car and wished I could have one. I was only 11 years old that time and was in grade 6 at Don Bosco Makati. After 36 years, I got my red mustang in 2002. It was a long wait.
I was looking for an American V8 car to restore and found out a mustang is for sale at Forbes Park. I went to the guy and saw the mustang fastback. Suddenly, I got this flashback to 1966 and I went on to buy the mustang. It took me a year to restore the car to its mint condition.
The ’66 Mustang was my favourite.”
The 1966 Shelby. Predecessor: 1965–1970 GT350 and GT500
According to its history, the GT 350 lost its Mustang tag in 1966 and was marketed simply as the Shelby GT 350. The new model year also saw the introduction of non-white colors, including blue, red, green, and black. Other changes included special rear quarter-panel windows replacing the factory extractor vents, functional brake scoops on each side, and optional SelectShift 3-speed automatic, as well as an optional Paxton supercharger. The battery was no longer relocated to the trunk for 1966, and the over-rider traction bars were discontinued. The normal factory fold-down rear seat was optional. While early 1965 cars had black engine blocks, 1966 and later cars had their engines painted the regular factory Ford dark blue. The 1966 models came with a dual-exhaust exiting in the rear.
The first 252 GT 350s for 1966 began as 1965 Mustang K-Code Fastbacks. These cars were specifically ordered by Shelby American for conversion into 1966 GT 350s. Upon delivery to Shelby-American, the cars were randomly picked for conversion. The Shelby VINs do not correspond in numerical order with Ford VINs. The Ford VINs were shipped in ‘blocks,’ but many differ significantly because the order they were taken for conversions.
Total production for 1966 was 1,373 fastbacks, including two prototypes and four drag cars, and the 252 early production models with Ford Mustang 1965 bodies. The Hertz rental company ordered 1,003 fastbacks, including two prototypes. Four convertibles were also produced, for a total of 2,378 units for 1966. A small number of the 1966 models were fitted from the factory with Paxton superchargers, but not the No-Spin limited slip differential; with an option price of US$670, the engine was rated at 440 hp (330 kW).
