1965 Ford Mustang 200ci 3-spd Coupe "BeeBop"

To the right is "BeeBop" the 1965 Mustang coupe with a 200ci six and (previously) the crap-ass 2.77 3-speed manual. I purchased her in July of 2000 and is named in honor of my deceased uncle who shares the same birthday in July as the car -- extremely ironic and amazing that I named the car in honor of my uncle BEFORE I found out they share the same birthday in July (July 26th to be exact).
