Thanks for the compliment. It take a lot of looking and chasing down leads and yes coin to get some of these pieces. Often only trades will shake pieces loose from other collectoers. In my case I must confess a fair amount of luck as well. My 1970 standee is one of two know to survive, my wall color chart - one of three known to survive and the original set of 5 banners I think this may be the only complete surviving set - I know Perkins has the Sports / Performance one from the set. The rarest items in my collection that I cannot make copies of due to nondisclosure agreements I've entered into are some rare inhouse films showing 1970 Mustangs on the assemblyline and a very rare Muscle Parts film shown at performance clinics. I also have a set of Ford engineering drawings showing various steps on the 1970 Mustang assemblyline and what was to be done at that stage / step of building the 1970 Mustangs. Fascinating stuff to share when folks visit. There are some great collections out there that inspired mine. It's a labor of love and helps me cope with the stress of working in a military hospital.
