Dick Trickle's 1970 Mustang

I didn't mention money, nothing. I will buy it. So how did you get this Dick Trickle Mustang? Oh, Dick Trickle's Mustang. He was my close friend. He was my buddy and I respected him a lot because when I was competing, he was the first person I asked any questions about. This person always helped me. He wanted to help newbies so I could ride better and not crash into him. So, somehow, Dick had this car for many years. He also has Kenny Schroeder. They found her in Lebanon, Missouri. Dick Trickle won a 300-lap race there on I70. Well, after the race and the season were over, a guy there approached him. He wanted this car. He bought a car from Dick. Dick built another new car for the '73 season. Well, that guy was driving her around a bit there. She ended up in the mud in the backyard, almost in a hole. Just in terrible condition. We have a picture of her here somewhere. This is the car with me and Dick the day I picked it up . It was in Kenny Schroeder's workshop when we arrived. Good. I convinced him, convinced him, and convinced him. He didn't want to sell it because he said they were going to restore it, but he and Kenny never did. And one day he probably got tired of my persuasion. So he says, "Okay, I'll sell it to you." He says, "I'll buy it." I didn't mention money, nothing. I will buy it. And he says, "Here's what I want. I want exactly what I put into it, and pay Schroeder what he put into it, and it's yours." Yes, I want this car. Oh, that was in 2012 or 2013 . When he passed away. Yes. But anyway, I wanted so badly, when I finished working on this car, to invite him here to be a guest speaker at our hall of fame and see this car. Oh, that meant a lot to me . But that never happened. And it knocked the ground out from under my feet, because I so wanted him to see this car that he won all those races in, for what it was. I restored it down to the engine. Everything is as it was. Everything in it works. He could go out and race it if he wanted to. Yes. Because of things like this, I regret that I'm not 10 years older, because so many people are no longer with us, with whom we didn't have time to talk. And perhaps the second best time to plant a tree is right now. So that's what we do, and that's why we do it. You know, Dick Trickle, he enjoyed life to the fullest. Well, he had heart surgery, and when they intervened, something happened to his nerves and he was in a lot of pain. He tried to get rid of it. He was prescribed a bunch of medications. And…
