My dad's car in the late 60's/early 70's was a 55 Chevy called The Gold Digger. So was Jim Boudreu's cars.

Larry Golliday's "Wild Child" AMX is one of my favorites.

Back in the late 70's when I bracket raced there was a '56 chevy from Pa called Blitzkreig.
It was black and a brassy yellow. Owner was Bob Blitersdorf I think. Also an anglia called the Whoopie Car.I could sit here all night running them off but they stood out. I first used the name American Graffiti on my original gremlin (a 1973 bought new) then carried the name over to my '77 gremlin stocker.

I remember a '56 T-Bird called Mr. Persistent that ran at Milan in the mid '60s. He ruined it by turning it into a flip top roadster.

Back to the topic of naming the OPs Mustang, Speed Steed. Piston Packin' Pony. Round Runner.

Ed, Blitzkrieg is still alive and well. I remember that car as well when I was just a kid somewhere in the mid 70s
