Oh boy! Me, about 1977, my beloved Mustang had lost it's side scoop (I repaired it later), and the wrong wheels! This is the "before time", before I did anything with the GT/CS. Looking totally cool, with a 70's perm and mustache, and going to UC Davis. I can't remember where this is, somewhere in Sacramento. Photo by my pal, Ken. by @pmndesigns

March 1982, on the set of ROTJ. Just found the hat. Saw Carrie on the deck, talked to Mark for over an hour....saw all kinds of things happening! Not far from Yuma, AZ...actually in the Calif. desert "Buttercup Valley" (where they also filmed "Last Flight of the Phoenix", and the "Rat Patrol" TV series). ©PMN 2016 #Maythe4th #StarWars #Returnofthejedi #Starwarsfan by @pmndesigns

Taking a great risk to get "that one photo" of a model and Ford Mustang for a catalog cover. And, nope, I did not fall into the water! NoCal. #handsomeman #photographer #norcalphotographer by @pmndesigns

Me with legendary 1967 Shelby prototype coupe "Little Red", at SAAC 50 at the Sonoma Raceway, Aug. 23, 2025. This "EXP-500" included a 428 V8 with TWO Paxton Superchargers, producing 600 hp.!!! I first learned of Little Red in a Shelby book in 1978, and for many years thought it had been crushed in Dearborn Mi. But after searching by Craig Jackson and (restorer) Jason Billups, Little Red was brought back to life! It was an emotional reunion, since this was the car that influenced Lee Iacocca to produce the 1968 GT/California Special, of which I owned one between 1974 and 2010, and put 400K miles on it! On this day, I got to sit in the driver's seat and feel that incredible horsepower with the gas pedal (pushing on two Holley carbs and two blowers) , bringing her up to 2500rpm! Truly a full-circle bucket list- life event for me!! What a beautiful Shelby! #LittleRed #shelbygt500 #Ford #fordprototype #californiaspecial by @pmndesigns

WHO is that crazy dude? It's me, about 1982, At Disney Studios, to visit a designer friend, who worked on TRON (1). I got to visit the Tron Solar Sailor, as well as a backlot tour to see things that are now long gone (Zorro, Flubber house, town for "Something Wiched This Way Comes". And well, gotta love permed my hair. At least I still had it then! LOL. by @pmndesigns

Looking very professional to receive my "Lee Iacocca Award" at Galpin Motors. Met Mr. Iacocca, and was so honored for this award for my work with the Classic 1968 Mustang GT/CS. #handsome #professional #designer #author #accomplished #fordmustang by @pmndesigns
