Your TOP Ten Picks (Granted Mike!!)
 

Originally quoted by The Deuce:

I wonder what would happen if we started a mustang works top 10 thread? That would be interesting..........

Well, how about it? What would your top ten Mustang picks of all time be? You can find mine at the following web site:

http://www.mustangmonthly.com/

Got to cars & events in the menu bar, featured cars, then 10 baddest ever.

I want to here what you guys would pick and why!! :D


Shelby

Thanks Shelby!
I was actually working on my list when this came up. A couple of them(well all of them) are for personal reasons. Hey, chicks dig Mustangs, right?;) So here is my list, with short explanations:

10. 1988 GT convertible. First Mustang I ever drove. You mean I can spin the tires on DRY asphalt?
9. 1998 Cobra - First Cobra I ever drove. I went looking for street races, with a salesman in the car!
8. 1968 GT/High country special - Same as the California Special, but have only ever heard of one still around.
7. 1966 Shelby 350H - "Rent a Racer" Oh to be 25 in 66. I'd have been a Hertz junkie!
6. 1995 Cobra R - Antithesis of number 7, Ford only sold these to people with competition liscenes. How cool is that?
5. 1965 K-code. - "Hey man, your car ticks, add some oil." "Moron, I got solid lifters"
4. 1970 Mach 1 (351C - 4V) One of the rarer Mach 1's, a motor that just about everybody wants.
3. 1969 BOSS 429 - Ford needed to put the NASCAR motor in something, and Shinoda thought the outline on the fender would be enough warning.
2. 1965 Shelby GT350 - Made a legend out of a rebodied Falcon.
1. 1969 BOSS 302 - Enough said! :D

Great list Mike, you want my job? I'm having problems tonight!! Writers block, BIG TIME!!!:(

Thanks and yes, I would love to have your job. Well, I would hate to have them drop you to make room for me.:D But to work there too would be awesome. After I get my CPA license, I'm going to try again to get an automotive job.

Sorry about the writers block. I'd try and help, but I don't know a lot of words.:( What are you writing about, not that I would actually be helpful.:D

A frickin 1968 Gulfstream Aqua convertible we found in Las Vegas last year!! I think I will sleep on it, and finish tomorrow!!

Shelby

Wouldn't it be more comfortable to sleep on your bed? Or is that some kind of writers trick I don't know about, sleeping on your subject.:rolleyes:

I'm really sorry. That was pretty lame, but just begging to be said.

Now where are people's lists??

Well guys, I hate to rock the boat, but if I'm going to come up with a list of my top 10 favorite Mustangs, half of them are going to be something else. There are 5 Mustangs that I would really like to have, but there are 5 other cars that I would really like to have, as well. Staying within the same general parameters of each other, these are my Top Ten:

1) 1969 BOSS 429 (hemi)
2) 1970 BOSS 302 (w/ a '69 crank)
3) 1965 Shelby GT350
4) 1965 K
5) 1970 Mach 1 (351C 4V)

6) 1969 GTO Judge RA IV 400
7) 1969 L72 Malibu 427
8) 1970 'Cuda 426 Hemi (dual quad)
9) 1962 Dodge Max Wedge 426 (dual quad crossram)
10) 1969 Hurst/Olds 455

Forgive me? ;)

Take care,
-Chris

Leave it up to Chris to go outside the main stream!! :) How did I know you were going to do that?:rolleyes: Great list!! I especially like the Judge and the Cuda on there. Two of my favorite non Mustangs.

Take care,

This... thing, this "ex-wife" of yours, she's dead now, yes?

I'm sorry, but that description is so close to perfect for me (I prefer the 70 Duster to the 73), she needs to be shot. Twice.

My condolences over the loss of your ride.

:(

Take care,
-Chris

She sold it in 1991 while I was oversea's. Put a lot of effort in the combo. Esp. the carb tuning, and the power to weight ratio and GETTING THE HP TO THE PAVEMENT. Swore I would never get that involved in performance cars again. That was until MAR 2002 when I bought the '91 LX on a whim. Nice, fast little car, but wont get crazy with it. Havent confirmed the internal engine mods the guy said it had.
The stang has got the blood boiling again. A another mopar is in the works. A 70-73 duster this time with a 440. Mopar Performance is coming out with a lot of good stuff.

Shes still alive, but maybe she'll get hit by a bus or something.

BTW my bible's while working on that Duster were written by a Ford guy. " Carrol Shelby's Engine and Chassis Book" written for direct connection. Still got them.

PKRWUD i'll e-mail the mods this guys said were done to the engine. If you dont mind. Dont know much about fords. So u can tell me if he was full of crap. It does pull and hook-up extremely well.

No problem! May take me a day or two to get back to you, but I will.
