When sales finally slowed, awesome cars like the 67 and 68 GT350 and 500's followed, but only a few lucky folks could own those. Then, after many years the '87's seemed to be the next great Mustang to hit the streets and for the next 6 years the popularity of the car grew and grew. For the time, the Mustang seemed to share the roads only with the Chevy's F bodies.
Today, the Mustang faces much competition, and as a result, the '05 will prove to be the best performer, best equipped, best handling Mustang to ever hit the streets. Only a few of the high-priced after-market stangs can touch it...and many of them still can't. And, oh by the way, the '05 Mustang is the same exact price as an '89 GT I believe when you compare the MSRP with inflation. Yet, the '05 offers soo much more for the same dollar. This is why it would get my vote. But, in the end, only time can be the judge.

I think everybody is entitled to their own opinion. Quite frankly, I'm not a fan of the '05 in almost any way. Adjusted for 3.00% inflation, the 1989 GT would retail at $21,297.00. About 20% less money than a 2005 GT. I think the 05GT is pretty understated looking, with an interior that originally looked basically carried over from the 99+ cars, and a dash that seems form before function. The 05 GT has little versatility, and lacks the personality that I want from a ponycar.
For everything that makes a Mustang a Mustang, I feel the 87-93 years kick the 05s hinder all over the yard.
