Always a mystery to me is why the Mustang is so revered as something new, 1965 Plymouth had a nimble Barracuda available with some perky V8's
The Barracuda was cool, really! Gotta love the dude in the tie holding a surf board, LOL!
The GTO was the first muscle car a year earlier- big engine/little car combo!

Hey you can google 1965 cars all day long, but I wanted to show some odd ones!
For some reason I recalled Y2K hysteria of 15 years ago
All computer controlled cars were going to stop dead in their tracks after midnight! Think about this for a minute, the car with a computer would suddenly think it is 1900 and it was not invented yet?
So just like Marty McFly's who's siblings are disappearing in the Back to the Future trilogy

Oh no the parents never got together and they are gone!
You are next Marty and your car won't start, pretty high drama,but mostly funny!
Happy 2000! And a big thud, life kept moving normally!
Admit it some of you bought this book, come on be honest!
