Yeah they look nice. I hope you’re not talking about that '87 Mustang. That car is a pile of horse dung. Worse car I have ever owned. Built poorly, overpriced, and not as fast as some people think it was.
My girlfriend back in 1985, she was a bit older than me. She tried to buy a Mustang GT. It was 8600 base price, 14.7 fully loaded. They were so popular that they marked them up 3k. You couldn’t buy it unless you paid 17.7. Several years later you could buy one for sticker price.
Worse car I ever bought. Ended up selling it at half price and buying a 1987 Grand National in 1988. That was nice car for the low price. Not the GNX, just the regular version.
I took in on trade a 1968 Chevrolet Corvette 427 tri-power a few years ago. I drove it when I appraised it and concluded…what…a…turd…compared to today’s Corvettes. The newer ones will outrun, out handle, stop quicker, all while you’re jamming out to a Bose sound system, on a hot day with your airconditioned seat on and getting over 30 mpg.
My first car was a used 1968 390 GT Mustang fastback with a stick. It was identical to Steve McQueen’s from the movie Bullit except it was white, not dark green. I then replaced the engine with a 428 Cobra Jet and replaced the intake, carb and exhaust from a totaled Michigan State Police 428 police interceptor. She was baaaaaaaaaad to the bone. Bababababa baaad. Bad to the bone.
First car I ever “owned” was a 1970 AMC Hornet when I was 16. I lived in a roach motel in Springfield MO and traded a couple of video game systems and a few dozens games for it. Had some random Nebraska plates on it, never registered or insured it, and didn’t have a license at the time. I got pulled over in Texas and it was promptly towed away from my possession.
Mine was the same color, but not nearly as nice looking. It had this handy little Flinstones hole in the floor board that made littering really easy and stealthy.
