Martin,
Bummer about your wife hating the 69 XR7 Convertible. My wife loves mine, so do my kids. Every fall we use my Cougar convertible to escort part of the homecoming court at the high school where my wife teaches. The kids love the car, and we always get tons of compliments
As for the next generation, my 18 year old next door neighbor just finished building a 400+hp SBC camaro. I know it is not an FE, but at least he hates the fart can imports and enjoys stomping them. My 13 daughter and I are going to Raceway Park at Englishtown NJ tomorrow to look for parts for the 1970 VW convertible we are restoring for her first car. I know, it is not even a ford, but at least it's a classic. And she thinks the stickered up hondas are a joke.
Alas, Wednesday night my kids and I watched Bullit together. After seeing Steve M. working that FE Mustang my 11 year old son has decided that a big block sixties stang is far cooler than all the 5.0's and 4.6's he had been drooling over for the last few years.
It appears as though his jedi training may be well on its way.
All is not lost because a few young knuckleheads insist on building 10000rpm imported hand grenades. Give them some time, they'll come around.
