Park it next to the other guy’s 63 GTO.

The first Boss Mustangs were ‘69. Boss 302 and 429. Boss 351 was 71.

The big oversized Mustangs were the 71-73. My least favorite of the original generation. Never liked the appearance of the hood going all the way up to the windshield. They did away with the vented cowl in 71. It just looks cheap to me.

If I could pick one car for my dream it would be a ‘68 Shelby GT500KR convertible. Red with tan interior and the 4 speed.

That’s, in my mind, a pony car, not a muscle car. For a muscle car I’d take a ‘66 Fairlane HT with a big block FE and the 4 Speed.

My younger brother has a 66 Fairlane with an original 70 Boss 302 with top loader 4 speed.

I heard they are bringing back that GT500KR design.

I’m sorry, it’s been a good while since I knew all my car details.

Let’s say along the GT350 line.

‘69 is when they started elongating the car and “smoothing” it out. Which I don’t like, generally.

Anyway, it’s hard to choose whether muscle or pony or race, or anything.

Dream car? No. The question was only “fav muscle car”.

My dream is any Model J Duesenberg. At least I’ve been up close to them and heard 1 roar.
