Default Gary Myers Mustang up in flames

In the new issue of Street Machine theres a article called "Flaming Mustang" Gary Myers black GT Mustang caught on fire when it was in the shed.

I was quite shocked when I heard about it anyone else hear about it?

Yep, read it today but the car will be as good as new before Gazzanats, and more importantly, before the All Ford Day!

ruh roh... might just read that article again... lol

edit; well it doesnt say he couldnt get to it because of the flames, doesnt really imply it either. i dunno. i guess your right about it being at his house though, unless his shed is his workshop?

eh who cares really, pitty it had to happen.

one thing that is strange though is just how many good cars have come to greif in the last year i guess. there was that orange 56/57 chevy, then that hot rod ute, then that XR/T falcon ute (as mentioned above) and now gm's mustang.

im sure there was another one aswell.
