I grew up in a 1968 Shelby Mustang GT500KR. Very rare. Very fast. My parents sold it in the late 70's to buy a house. The new owner of this beast, could not handle it and put it into a utility pole.
I have found that these photos of old classics bring back a lot of memories for people. To bad to hear about that GT500R! Those are rare and it doesn't help when people wrap them around utility poles.
I'll second that about looking good in B&W. This may be me just rationalising because I know it was a colour neg but it seems to have a tonal quality that might not have been there had it been a B&W neg.
