Bill's Story

Bill is the original owner of the car.  I mentioned in an earlier post that I would be providing more details about how Bill acquired the car.   His story is very interesting and provides some unique insite on how excited the public, and particularly "car people" were about the Mustang.  There was a tremendous about of excitement about the Mustang, but even more about the rumored High Performance version that was promised on Jun 1st, 1964.  The pictures below were taken in Jan1974 by Jay, shortly after he acquired the car.  As you can see in the transcript of my first conversation with Bill, and signed by Bill, he stated that he couldn't find any pictures of the car when he had it - I figured I post these instead.  Bill stated that the car originally had a black top, and Bobby the second owner, said that he was the one that put the white top on.

In out first conversation on June 16th 2012, Bill talked about how much fun the car was to drive and how he got the car.  He said that he had been reading about the new High Performance Mustang and had gone to his local dealer and friend to buy one, but was told they wouldn't be available until June.  He told his friend that when they got one he wanted it.  Bill's signed affidavit is below with more detail (this a copy, the original is in a safe deposit box along with the rest of the questionnaire.)
