"MUSTANG" Vanity Plate Fetches Top $$$

by **MrMustang1965** » Fri Jan 14, 2011 4:50 pm

ARLINGTON â€” Nearly $140,000 was bid out at the Great Plate Auction at Cowboys Stadium Thursday night, where attendees ponied up thousands for one-of-a-kind Texas license plates.

In the world of college sports, the University of Texas prevailed. RAIDERS went for $2,000; AGGIES1 went for $2,750; SOONERS went for $5,000; MUSTANG snagged an impressive $7,000; and GO HORNS took the cake for $10,500. (And similarly, DRAGONS â€” as in, yes, the Southlake-Carroll Dragons â€” went for $7,750. That's a pretty big testament to the high school football powerhouse.)

like i said on the other thread about this on the football board (btw, thank you for appropriately categorizing your post unlike some people who put everything under football), i bet it was a fan of Ford Mustangs as in the car, not Gerald J. Ford Mustangs.

Nope. I bought it.

@Dutch: you're welcome. Sorry I didn't see the other thread on the Football forum.
@Eddie P: can I get a loan?

Of course, yours truly is STILL the proud owner of the only Texas vanity plates currently in use that say "S.M.U."

But after I bought them, I gave them away to a Ford Mustang aficianado. So I cannot prove my purchase of said vanity plates. : )

I gave Phil B and the team the "S.M.U." plate from 1982.
