Brittany In Blue

So, last week we talked about the Cadillac. Earl’s other Girlfriend ;) This week, I’d like to introduce you to Brittany. Earl's 1969 Ford Mustang.
Yep, that’s how we found her. 
When we were cleaning her out we’re pretty sure some form of furry little vermin died inside (possibly 20 years ago, when she was parked) based on a lot of fur… and a pair of teeth.
So we have a Mustang. At this point, you may be wondering Why? Simple fact of the matter: Earl’s dream job is to fix up old cars for a living. So, when this one showed up – relatively clean and super inexpensive – with a clear title, he jumped on the chance and I was more than happy to support him in that move.
So we got it, moved it to his friend’s garage and they went to work on it. 

Now it’s cleaned out, everything removed from the interior – well almost – and This weekend they’re probably pulling out the engine (I say probably because I’m writing this last week and as things are wont to do, plans might change.)
So this is Brittany. I’ll keep you updated on her as she progresses.

By the way, she’s named Brittney after her original color: Brittany Blue.

  1. I saw a show where the host visited Brittany - the country, not the car - and they have a word for that not-quite-green, not-quite-grey, not-quite-blue. It's glazs. The man that described it said a lot of Brittany girls have eyes that color. I approve of your name choice!

  3. I love his car! Gosh, she's going to be so beautiful (not that she isn't already).

    I really hope that someday in the not too distant future that Earl will get to do his dream job full time!
