A
true story, or two...
Mustang #1 was sold to a Trans Canada Airlines (now Air Canada) pilot in St. John's Newfoundland. A White V8 Convertible. When Ford decided to "retrieve" Production Serial Number 1, they offered the pilot the 1,000,000th Mustang built, a 1967 model, as an even exchange. He accepted.
Serial Number 1 now sits, fully restored, in the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn (Fair Lane). Value? Pricele$$.
I wonder what # 1,000,000 would be worth, now...
BTW, Serial Number 2 Mustang was sold, new, in Alaska, and I doubt its worth is anywhere near the White one...
Camaro Number 1, a
Hot Rod Magazine Project car (and the first one converted to a 396 by Editor Jim McFarland), was purchased by McFarland and used as a daily driver for many years. Ultimately sold to Vic Edelbrock, and restored.
Call Vic and make him an offer...
Generally, a Serial Number is just a number...but every once in awhile...
WOW!
Recall what Rick Hendrick paid for
HIS Gen-5 Camaro Number 1s...
