I'd pay $65K in a heartbeat....but I know damned well I couldn't get one for that. (edit) Question Austin...have you ever driven a new Mustang with the "track pack" suspension? Wanna make a small bet that my Bullitt Mustang, 100% stock, wouldn't beat your P-car on it's current street tires on a skid pad?

I think the two latest two mustangs (is the newest one out yet) that are retro look great. I think the camaro is OK visually. I think the new Challenger looks pretty hot. I still wouldn't have any of the three. They are way, way too common. Around here they are second only to trucks which is saying something.

We rented a Mustang for fun a while back and were impressed. I still want to try the Camaro out being an old Chevy fan.

A friend of my dads is building a '67 GT500 fastback. Sadly the motor is not the original but its still a very slick car.

My BF in highschool had a 65/351. Man we had fun in that car. He ended up dying in it though.
:(

pwd72s 06-22-2009 06:32 PM

When did he swap the 351 in?

IIRC, a 265 in '65...289 in '66. But I could be wrong...

targa911S 06-22-2009 07:15 PM

I had a 64.5 , it was a 289.

BeyGon 06-22-2009 07:18 PM

I think they were a six, then 260, then 289

Memory jogged...I believe you're correct.

The very early ones had a 260.

I think you are right on that one. I had a 64.5 with a 289 which I later swapped out for a 289 cobra. The original 289 in that car had a generator and later models had an alternator.

Just started the early steps of restoring my Wife's '65 Mustang. Her parents bought it new and it's what she was driving when we met..
