Got to love Passion Wagon .... This was the second Mustang that my uncles the Lauderback twins rebuilt in the early 80's ( The first being Scott Smith's Black Ge Ge II ). I remember sitting in the cockpit of this Mustang for many hours as a tater tot hanger flying ! I vividly remember the black leather interior and gold anadized panel ( gotta love the 80's!) I personally would love to see some T&A on a Mustang again !! Ironically, the anatomy of the art on passion wagon post-restoration was... lets say a little more "slick" !

:lol:

It's still being worked on by one of Ernhorning's relatives. I sold him some fuel gauges for it a couple of years ago. I believe that he's a medical doctor at Yale University Medical Hospital, although I might be mistaken. In any event, I was told that progress was slow, but continuing.

Cheers,
Richard
