As a stalwart "I like em the way the General built em" Purist of sorts, I was heavily influenced by The Mule. I would have never done to a car, much less a 69 convertible, what I am doing now unless I had ever laid eyes on that one particular car.
Of course Nascar, Trans Am racing, Muscle Cars and growing up in the 60s etc was the foundation.
But The Mule did it for me. Plain and simple. I equate seeing it in person with meeting Raquel Welch in person, I'll never forget it. Plus its owned by a true Car guy, not some ahole investor that would park it in some heated warehouse somewhere.
