We had a gym teacher in high school (late 70's early 80's) who had a brand new black/gold Trans Am. It fit his personality perfectly :-)
I'm getting ready to sell this 65 convertible which has been in my son in law's family since new. I'm simply the guy who retrieved the car after Grandpa died and got it running and ready to sell after sitting for several years. I thought about maybe buying it from the family but not after driving it. Handles like a tractor compared to my 356. I've had Mustangs in the past and didn't think twice about how they drove at the time.
What is it with these cars and overheating? The car was restored 20+ years ago including an engine rebuild of the stock 289 2bbl. After several visits back to the shop, they installed an aftermarket electric fan set up. The thing kicks on almost immediately and is loud. I drove my 356 in 90 degree weather to the West Coast Holiday a few years back. Stock cooling with a built 1750cc Super 90 motor. No heat issues at all.
I love the look of the car but it would just sit if I owned it.
