So, today I'm workning as part of a drug task force looking for marijuana grow operations. When just as the day is about over, one of the National Guard helecopters radios that he found a car in the middle of nowhere and looked suspicious. He says it looks like an old Mach 1 in the weeds. Hearing this, I get kind of fired up thinking maybe it's a long lost Shelby Europa or something wild like that. So I get back to it, and it turns out to be a 73 Mustang Convertable. But this thing appears to be in pretty good shape and has deluxe interior. I pop the hood and it has I think a 351 Clevor. I know it wasn't a Cleveland, but it had 8 valve cover studs. A check on the vin showed that it wasn't reported stolen, but I have no idea how the heck it could have gotten there without visible damage as it was in the bottom of a hole. It looked like someone dropped it from a helecopter or something. Just thought it was strange. Sorry, no pics, asI don'town a cameraphone.

 

Borrow a camera and post pics later!

That's awesome to find something like that on a "routine" check.

My best friend is a cop here and I have several other friends that are TAC and such.

Always nice to have something like that happen, makes the day that much more exciting.

 

Two words.... bonded title.

Get that sucka up outta there and get her back on the road.
