Aesthetics – The 1970 George Follmer Ford Mustang

For any race, half of the joy stems from wandering the paddocks. There is, of course, something to be said about the magic of cars screaming their way around the race track, but I also find a special sort of enjoyment in seeing the cars up close. At the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion, much of the field stays the same, although year in and year out, a handful of new cars make the rounds. This year, one of my personal favorites was George Follmer's past 1970 Ford Mustang race car, participating in the always-incredible Trans Am class. I spent a few moments with the car, capturing the details just before the sun fell behind the mountains and raceday came to a close. For me, it's the 1970 model year that reigns supreme when it come's to the iconic line of pony cars, and in Grabber Orange, it's hard to get any better.
