I bought a '65 Mustang... ordered it from the factory. It was a Red Convertible,, rally pack, Pony Interior,, the works,,, except the electric retractable roof. Those darned electric roof thingys only worked the first 6 months, anyway.
I paid $26,000 for that car. When I got married in 1967, my husband, the farmer, talked me into selling the car. To this day, my heart sinks when I see one on the road or parked at the Mall.
I was going to try to find another one. But someone reminded me that there was no Factory Air Conditioning in convertibles back in 1965. Times have changed,, and so have I.
Today I have a replica sitting on my desk to remind me of my wild and crazy youth.

My first car, back in 1974 was a 1967 Mustang. It cost me $800 then. It did have A/C which is de rigeur in Texas. I drove that little car to death.

Just got back from lunch - went in honor of the 40th birthday in Mr. hb's 1965 red Mustang. Top down, of course, because it is a glorious spring day in Southern California.
Long live the Mustang.
