Mustangs Yet Again

So, yesterday I drove an 0ld '65 Mustang on country roads. It struck me again (I'd probably never buy one, but who knows -- maybe in my last year) what a very fine basic car this is, but how tragically marred it is by the cheap, cheap interior and the clumsy styling. (The solid rear axle is also bizarre—but I honestly didn't notice it while driving hard, but only b/c I didn't try to corner on any bumps.) It didn't seem all that fast either.

Nope, I've still got my '72 and '76 - it appears that the 'signature' doesn't show up in posts when you post from a phone.

We've had at least one Mustang since '00.

Had this one for about a year.

Really a wretched POS car. Never again looked at a Mustang with serious desire.

Who needs an interior? It just adds weight?
