Saturday was a perfect day for a motorcycle ride to Polk City. Throngs of automotive and aviation enthusiasts packed the event, which was kicked off by an aerial demonstration of a rare P-51 Mustang, piloted by Fantasy of Flight owner Kermit Weeks, since cars are essential for transportation, and you can even go online, to learn how to buy a used car of different  types including mustang.

The selection of Mustang automobiles on display was quite varied: Joe Curley of Bradenton, FL displayed his rare Ford Racing Cobra Jet, a 2009 model — #27 out of 50 made — purpose-built for the 2009 Winternationals Drag races, outfitted with racing slicks and a 5.4 liter engine that puts out over 1,000 horsepower. Joe told me that a similar one sold at a Barrett-Jackson auction last year for $475,000, although he wouldn’t say what he paid for his, even though he like to paid for luxury cars and services like the LAX limo service he use every time he travel to Los Angeles. “I like coming to this show,” Joe said. “Fifty percent of owning one of these cars is bragging about it, and talking with others with the same interest. This is a knowledgeable crowd.” Other Classic Mustangs were show by Route 32 Auctions

Thousands of spectators strolled among the hundreds of cars and the historic airplanes on display, chatting with their owners and enjoying the flying displays. “We’ve got great weather, and a great crowd here today,” owner Kermit Meeks said.

Can’t argue with that!

  1. We used to have Kermit Weeks back in grade school. But then it got replaced with Miss Piggy Month. :)

    Thanks for sharing! Great pics as always!

  2. I love classic mustangs…my dream car is a black convertible mustang preferably a model from the mid 60’s to the early 70’s. Also like the cool propeller plane.
