The folks at Muscle Car Enthusiast asked Dave Synder to produce an image for the magazine cover. I was
asked to express the essence of the muscle car hobby.
From this, Dave selected the cars he would like to have in his own stable. Definitely not something so
valuable that he would have to trailer it. The cars would be at the ready-ready to drive to the next Cruise In,
ready for a night on the town or ready for that drive through the country on a summer day.

the 1967, the GT-500 with the big block 428 was offered along side the GT-350. The Shelby Mustang was
continually civilized and refined into the luxo-muscle car that bowed out in 1970. Today the Shelby
Mustangs are demanding incredible prices at the auto auctions.

numbered print measures 17 1/2" x 26" and is printed on 22" x 28" acid free stock.
