Bill & Teri Robinett's 1972 Mustang Convertible

Their Mustang was purchased by Teri Conry Robinett in the spring of 1972 when she graduated from Avila University in Kansas City, Missouri. She bought it from a friend when it had about 400 miles on it. Teri owned a 64&1/2 Mustang convertible that was powder blue with a white top three-speed car. The 64&1/2 had originally came from Colorado and had a lot of rust. She wanted to replace it. When she saw the 72 She fell in love with the color, power and the styling of the car. After several years Teri sold the car to her boyfriend (now husband; Bill). The car is equipped with a 351 Cleveland Engine, a 4 Speed transmission and Power Steering. The car has remained pretty much stock over the years with only a few dress up items added when Bill got "Trophy Itus" in the early years of our car shows. Teri had given Bill a set of wire wheels for Christmas one year and they are still on the car today. Bill has also added a front and rear spoiler to dress it up a little bit.

Bill was driving the Mustang one beautiful day in 1989 and parked to have lunch. When he returned to the vehicle he noticed a flyer that had been left in the seat announcing a meeting to be held to discuss the formation of a classic car club. As it turned out, Darren Houk was the indivdual who had left the flyer on behalf of the organizers, namely Darren, Sonny Branson and Mike Cole (now deceased). Teri and Bill attended the meeting that was held at Spring Creek Bar B Que Restaurant on Hwy. 80 and became the first members of the "Westside Classic Cruisers"

To that day, the Mustang had been primarily parked in the garage "gathering dust" as Bill tells it. They saw participation in the club as an opportunity to use the car. So they signed up at the meeting and paid their $20.00 membership fee.
