Thursday (10/28/04) we were downtown where they are filming a movie "Glory Road" about Don Haskins and the 1966 Texas Western College (UTEP) Basketball team's road to winning the NCAA Championship.

It was like going back to High School with all the old cars lining the street and all the extras dress just like we dressed back then. Yes the TBird will be in the movie along with the 1960 Ford Pickup and the 1960 TBrid convertible.

Downtown El Paso

Courtney and Milo with the TBird

They gave up around midnight and went home, I was there until 4:00 am

This Thunderbird has been stored for 20 years. I keep telling myself that we are not restoring this T-Bird, we are making it a daily driver.

I get a lot of emails wanting to know if I will sell the car. The answer is yes I will sell it, but I will not give it away. These cars go for $38,000 plus if it is showroom see www.nada.com and add for AC. Well mine is not showroom, but it is close. If you are interest in buying this car I will take not a cent under $23,500.

This is Gene Matthews. He is a Mustang nut and anybody in the El Paso area that drives a 60's Mustang know Gene well. He has a driver 1965 Thunderbird and two parts T-Birds that has saved me a lot of time and money finding parts for my 66.
