1969 Mustang SportsRoof – “Family Affair”!


Working on a car or something else with your son or daughter is a powerful way of boosting your relationship, since you spend your time bonding. During the working process you can learn few life lessons like determination when working on something and hard work.
That was the case with George Riese and Dennis, his son who were working together on this project you can see right here. Back in 2001, George heard of a ’69 Mustang that was on sale and since it was nearby in the neighborhood he and his son went to take a close look at the vehicle. The car was in terrible condition but either way they decided to buy it knowing that it would take a lot of work to make it ready to hit the road. And just like that Dennis got his first chance to work on a car. Dennis, unlike his father didn’t have that much time to devote on the car’s restoration cause he was caught up between work, school and the restoration. So, the most of the work was left to George. As he was progressing, he replaced the wrecked 302ci for a 351ci Cleveland and fitted another C4 tranny as well.


The car was finished two weeks before the wedding date. Francesca was of help too. She searched the net looking for suitable parts for the car in order their wedding photos to be top notch. Dennis was proud of the work he did. He is sorry that his loving father didn’t witnessed this, but he is sure that wherever his father is, he is looking after him and smiling.
