never a pony guy....mostly a muscle car guy. Mopar. I had a 67 Plymouth Satellite I bought new in fall off 66. It was my Richard Petty car. I should never have sold it.
for any interested I have a VERY rough 67 Mustang under a tarp in my back yard, with title. $1000 takes her.(did I mention it was ROUGH)
my latest project car is a 71 cutlass supreme 350cuin. it has less than 6000 original miles.(this is the wifes grandfathers car...it is NOT for sale but a trade for a cherry 67 satellite is possible)
and my oldest boy just bought a 77 Dodge aspen 318 that is being seen this year in the show ‘The Americans’. the guy who rents them to the studio decided to sell this one....
My dad bought one in ‘66. My mother was embarrassed. He claimed he bought it after the ‘67’s came out and they gave him a truly great deal. It was white with red interior
I had a colleague that bought a Mustang convertible ‘65 I think....... with A/C that cost extra. It was white with red interior.
I always wondered why would you buy a convertible and air conditioning?
I bought a VW and a used TR 4
I went for the sleeper, 69 Scrambler painted plain white.
“Mr. Glazier traded in his ’54 Corvette...
Mr. Glazier’s Mustang is a Rangoon Red coupe with a 260-cubic-inch V8 and 3-speed manual transmission. He drove it for 15 years, stored it for 26 years and did a complete restoration in 2006.
So was this a smart decision? Given that both had been maintained, which would probably bring a higher price at auction?

Oh! I thought this was a thread about John Edwards.
My bad...
;-)
I’m just happy that this isn’t another “Brony” thread.
Mustangs are very cool! I had an old 69 once and currently own an 02 with a 3.8 V6. I love the Stang, a classic American car!
Thanks, very nice article to read with my morning coffee!
My favorite muscle car. Motor was a 390, balanced and blueprinted by Don Garlits. 465 hp. handled like a dream. Lord I miss that car! I wore out so many back tires...thought this might be a middle-aged Bronies ping...
I do remember the 1964 1/2 Mustang though. A friend bought one of the base models. $2500.00 out the door. In-line 6, three speed transmission with a floor shift, AM push-button radio, no power steering or brakes, no air conditioning, damn little chrome and single stage paint that oxidized badly before he traded in on a Chevelle, if memory serves. That said, I wonder what that little bird disguised as a horse would be worth today.
Had just about everything over the years except a truck.
4 cyl to 8 cyl, autos and sticks. Several cycles.

I always wanted a ‘67 fastback - like Steve McQueen drove in “Bullitt”. I came close once but couldn’t swing the financing. I did have a ‘67 coupe....for three days before it was stolen and stripped.
After that I figured it was some kinda karma thing and stuck to Chevy’s ;’)
My first car was a 68 Mustang coupe, 289four speed. I now have a 2001SVT Cobra. I love the Mustang.
About the time my High School class members and I were getting our drivers licenses, all of the ‘60’s muscle cars were 4 or 5 years old, and affordable! I never had a muscle car (my ‘61 Chevy Belair only had a 6 cylinder), but many of my friends did.
My brother-in-law still has a 1967 Camaro that was a father-son restoration project. Love that car, always liked the ‘60’s Camaros the best.
I still remember “The Easter Egg Mustangs”. I thought the Mach 1 looked futuristic.
My son and I are working on the 66 coupe that he bought for $250.00 in 1980 while he was in H.S. We have put a 4.6 four cam 32 valve aluminum engine from an 03 Mach 1 in the car. We also put in the 5 speed trans from the 03 and the black leather seats. We also designed a fiberglass hood that has the shaker set up. The car is the original gold color and will have a black stripe when completed. All that stops it from being finished is money.
I now drive an 03 Mach 1. Great car except in winter. It hates snow.
