Default Re: Why a Mustang?

I own 3 late models. I am partial to 94-98's. My 97 GT Vert is a somewhat rare car, it is the only one just like it in this area because of the Autumn Orange color. My son's 98 GT is awesome, it is his dream car, the envy of half the school. My wife drives a 2002 V6 Coupe, and she will probably get a 2005 soon. We love our late models.

But the classic Mustang is my first love, I have loved Mustangs since I was in elementary school and walked home past the local Junior College parking lot which was full of Mustangs. In those days, if you couldn't afford Cragar S/S mags they ran without hubcaps, and that was cool. I grew up loving the early Mustangs. I have been involved in several restoration projects, owned 3, but never have had one finished. It is my dream to finish this one because I actually drove it for 2 years before I started body work. It had a bent front end when I bought it, but it still drew attention. It is so much fun to drive a classic, something the late models can't do for you, you just have to experience it.
