Anyways, he has a 65 poontang 'vert, with the total pony package. Full off retro fix up with 4 wheel discs and all the 'fixes'......still handle like a truck.
Mustangs from the 60s don't handle worth a damn, they were built off the Fairlane platform IIRC.
Does good in a straight line, sloppy syrup in the corners.
He also owns a 928.

Yeah I'd agree even the best in the bunch mustangs from Maier Racing are pretty sloppy and slow compared to well setup Porsches. For life of me never understood why someone would want old hunk of junk other than for nostalgia? But hey plenty folks still willing to put a crater in their wallets to buy these things so there must be something to it. I missed out on whole muscle car thing growing up in 60s and 70s being in a Porsche household. We sort of had a disdain for overweight ugly Mercian crap and I still feel that way. Best of luck to those who think solid axles and a big iron block over front wheels is cool. Nothing like signing up for something that is sure to disappoint even after thousands invested in suspension. Best off just leaving them stock and driving them in parades.
