From what I can see from the pictures, today's guest is all about keeping it pure. His 1966 Wimbledon White Mustang Coupe with a 6-banger 200 under the hood is so clean you could just as easily see it on the showroom floor 60 years ago. Excited to talk. Eric Reding, welcome to the Ford Mustang: The Early Years podcast.
