They have been sitting in his back yard (way out in the country) for at least 10 years.

And rusting out, right?

[Hot Tabasco]

we had a ‘74 Javelin AMX.

My brother-in-law had one at that time and I swear, his car was the reason lemon laws were passed........LOL!

[West Texas Chuck]

Bullitt me.

[yarddog]

He may actually be doing something to protect them but I have no idea what as it seems like they haven’t rusted as badly as they should.

I will say they were far from perfect to start with.

[RegulatorCountry]

I recall a few electrical issues behind that massive, swoopy cockpit style dashboard that were nearly impossible to get at without removing the whole thing but that’s all, it was a good car otherwise. Sounded nice, looked great, fast but a little tail-happy, you had to be careful even pulling out of a carwash.

That looks too much like a cut-down Aston Martin than a Mustang. That, and of all things, they brought back the Mustang II via the un-American Eco-Boost option.

If I want a European car, I don’t go to Ford. That is the case even if they have completely removed their American sized/priced models.

[Liberty Valance]

I’d like a ‘67 instead.

[setha]

The Fusion doesn’t have the option that it deserves - the Mustang’s base v6.

Then again, Ford cant help putting in Eco-Boost and lopping off 2 cylinders to please environmentalists.

[Dallas59]

Looks like a Ford on Mitsubishi.

[a fool in paradise]

Does it fart flowers?

[a fool in paradise]

They might want to rethink that slogan.

[rabidralph]

They should have just brought back the full-size late ‘60s body (Boss, fastback, etc.) and let it go at that.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Do they still play the blues in Chicago
When baseball season rolls around?

[henkster]

They don’t play baseball; not good baseball anyway.

[KYGrandma]

Had my ‘71 Mustang stolen in 1981 in Detroit. Husband saw it going down the road. I cried for two weeks.

[MeanWestTexan]

Pretty sure that is a “cat” reference and all, being a Jag.

[Tijeras_Slim]

It’s a line from Steve Goodman’s song “A Dying Cubs Fan’s Last Request”. Fun stuff.

[henkster]

LOL; I believe it. Great Americana has grown up around the futility of being a Cubs fan.

[Tijeras_Slim]

There’s a certain nobility about being the last boy scout troop in Stalingrad. I started rooting for the Cleveland Browns because I lived near Pittsburgh in the 70’s and could have used “Terrible Towel” PTSD as a legal defense.

The first Mustangs had a 260 ci V8 option, before the 289.

The 64 1/2 was featured in a James Bond movie and launched the mustang to the US market.

Whatever some here say, our ‘09 GT/CS was a very cool car. It has now become an F-150 since we moved to the high Rockies and the 15 mile dirt road would have ruined that fine ride.
