This Mustang is a distinct early version of the iconic pony car considered a separate model in the eyes of both collectors and historians. There were several engine options, and it was available as either a coupe and convertible.
Dahl Motors general manager/owner Scott Dahl reported there were more entries this year.
A 1968 Chevrolet Camaro shown by Ben Karels of Ben’s Auto Glass took second spot.
