Contrast that with a video I've seen of the Ford paint shop in the same era. Guys with no head coverings, goggles, or masks are blasting clouds of white paint onto new Mustang hoods, smoking cigarettes. It's unbelievable.

Yes, I believe they drove down from Belgium to Italy to pick it up. I just happened across a video. Beautiful drive.

Yeah, I don't get that. A big bumper, safety-car nosed, skinny-wheeled, emission-choked '75 ??

Original, yes. Very tidy, yes. Odd color, yes.

I first thought is was red. It is orange! My '75 245 is same color. I also have a baby blue '75 242. Neither are tidy.
