Even back in '65? I doubt it.
That's what I thought. Boring.
Just what I'd expect from a dimwitted, ignorant, fool from DUmmyland, you excretion.
Holy Toledo!
love the way this car looks...now to convice the wife we need one :)
As the article states, before Iococca, there was no Mustang. He was the man who brought the model to life in the 1960's.
A friend's older brother had just returned from Viet Nam, gotten rid of his Pontiac and bought one of the first 65's. It was a white 289/4 speed with tan interior. Everyone loved it.
by working in the Mustang Industry, www.50resto.com, I can honestly say that this car is generating ALOT of intrest and will be a giant hit.
I'm not a Ford guy at all, but that's a beautifully executed design.
Old Girlfriend had a mid '70s version - Mustang II. Underpowered and overheated a lot. A real POS but better than a Vega which I guess is a good thing.
Bought a '70 Mach 1 for $500.00. Plenty of go fast, I thought...until I replaced it with a '69 GTO.
Drove a friend's '65 3-speed from NYC to New Hampshire. The car was brought back to Showroom-New condition by a noted restorer. The clutch action was like a wall switch - either on or off. The car was one of the worst-handling things I've EVER driven (and I've been behind the wheel of many real "interesting" cars).
The best thing about the '65 was its looks. Too bad it couldn't get out of its own way and behaved like a Bass Boat around corners. I've seen the "new" Mustang and if they have done a good enough job on the performance, I'll pony up and get one - past experiences be damned.
I was riding school buses in 1965. The window was two panes. One lowered the upper pane over the lower pane.
Buying a Ford is like voting for a Democrat.
You are correct.
Worked for Domino's Pizza, had a guy who had a bright orange Mustang, you could hear it two blocks away... He always complained about tips...
I wasn't, hence my unfamiliarity. I didn't know the safety design was that old.
