When I went to get my first car, I actually looked at a Mustang II first, but it was in very very rough shape. I saw a Capri listed at a local dealership, so I went to take a look. It had a ton of things wrong with it, but it was love at first sight for me. The salesguy was trying to talk me into a "nice 4 door reliable Cavalier" I told him to get bent.
Thus started my fox-body love affair, and I eventually ended up with my 88.
By the way Unit...I am very glad you ended up a Mustang guy, or I never would have met you
