My dad has a 69 Mach 1 so as a kid I quickly fell in love with it. It wasn’t running when I was a kid in the 80’s but I used to go in the car and play with the steering wheel. In the 90’s my dad’s friend used to come over on the weekends in his early 70’s Javelin and help us get the Mustang...
That car was a pile of poop. My friend at work had one and the interior was falling apart, made all sorts of noises, and at one point the driver door wouldn’t close.
I’ll say this about the Mustang II, many cars adopted its front suspension style and use it as a restomod for 50’s-60’s cars/trucks. But the car is ugly.
Congrats. I picked one up in January and I’m in love with mine. Ride quality is much improved compared to older models. The tech is amazing. I highly recommend one.
Yeah when I had my 03 I too had those thoughts of how heavy it was but damn, nothing like now. Sold it in’15 and decided to just keep the classic Mustangs.
The GT350’s from the S550 platform really charge me up. The Performance Package appearance also look nice. That being said I’d really like to see a smaller body Mustang for the next generation. That ain’t happening though.
