Not a Mustang II fan boy by any means, but I like to play Devil's advocate.
The II DID take the Mustang back to its original roots - a fun little car that most anyone could afford, and that could be optioned in a wide variety of styles. By '71, they turned into hulking gas hogs built on the Torino platform. Not really what Lee had envisioned. My first car was a brown, '75 Pinto with a silly putty tan vinyl interior.

« on: July 31, 2012, 08:23:44 AM »Hey gearhead, I love my 08 GT. it's stock, but I might add a few things over time. Yours look really sweet.
The Avanti, I was in love with those when they came out. I was also very fond of Austin Healey 3000s, but I was too tall and large to fit in one behind the wheel!
Anyone remember the AMC Javelin? It was their answer to the Mustang pony cars.
If you do anything, I recommend lowering. It just looks so much better, besides the handling advantages. It's a subtle, but definitely noticeable change. Guys in stock Stangs look at it like "WHAT is different about that one???"
My friends older bro had a green AMX - the shortened version of the Javelin. Very cool! I loved growing up in the 70s...
(my friends brother was WAY cooler looking than THAT guy...)

Well, I have to say - 4 1/2 years into it, and I'm still not bored with my '08 Mustang GT. I would love to have the new 5.0 motor and newer interior, but I think these looked best before they updated the body in '10.
Considering their weight, these cars are known to handle well right out of the box. I've lowered mine - 1-1/4'' front, 1-3/4'' rear - with shorter, stiffer springs, and also replaced the rear lower control arms with tubular ones. C&L cold air intake, FRPP 3.73 gears, FRPP "Stinger" mufflers (actually Borla), SCT X3 custom tuned by Bama...
Used to have this gear haulin rod. '73 Ford Ranchero
And this was my '67 Mustang GTA.
The under-hood simplicity couldn't be beat!
Dream car??? I guess it will always be a Shelby Mustang of some sort. Preferably a '67 GT350.

« on: July 24, 2012, 07:50:27 AM »selling everything I own only makes me sad that I did...doesn't really solve the finances in the long run...
I've always felt that way and have avoided selling stuff for that reason. It's a very short term solution, and then you're soon in the same position, only without some of the cool stuff you used to own.
Hang in there Baz, you're a smart, talented guy.

Rocked some Highway Star at rehearsal the other night. Our guitarist is like THE guy in Chicago and has an incredible knack for tapping out cool keyboard stuff, including the organ solo on this one. That was nice...

Another odd variation on the theme. Looks like Barts, but it's a dot neck with a toggle switch. And is the s/n stamped AND inked? Regardless, the price is right.
