I may get some flack for this next one, but it’s the 4th of July and I’ve still got all my fingers, so I’ll just out with it. The Mustang is the most ‘Mericanus car ever built. Period. Some people will say the Corvette is more patriotic, but Americans have families of kids that need […]
Ten thousand smackers doesn’t get you much in a classic 60s pony car these days and a sub $10k Mustang is usually a complete pile of steaming horse pooh. Today’s Mustang might not be a fancy fastback, but it does have a V8 and a 4-speed top loader manual gearbox. If rust hasn’t turned it […]
The SN-95 generation Mustang was released for the 1994 model year, but it got a major upgrade in 1996 when Ford retired the aging 5.0 V8 and replaced it with a fire-breathing DOHC 4.6 liter modular V8 known internally as “the Romeo” engine. Finally Ford had a hot Mustang that could compete with the previous […]
The haters are going to say that this next car is from the time when Mustangs didn’t have much power, styling or handling…but I’m strangely attracted to it. I think it is because a convertible Mustang is such an iconic representation of youthful summer fun, that you can’t hate it. Find this 1986 Ford Mustang […]
The fifth generation S197 Mustang was launched in 2005 with well executed retro-styled platform that added a sprinkle of nostalgia to the late model refined Mustang. Despite newer versions having more power and beef to their designs, I think the S197 is the cleanest looking of the post 2005 Mustangs (and I’m not even going […]
I’m old enough to remember when you could buy a cheap used 60s Mustang coupe, and drive it home. A version with a fancy engine option or Shelby heritage was expensive, but a low spec coupe was one of millions built and nothing special. The classic car market is different today and sellers ask crazy […]
You know that I’m a sucker for classic Mustangs, but I’m also a sucker for a good deal. What happens when those two combine into a single vehicle…ohhh yeah. This next car isn’t’ a fastback, but it does have disc brakes all the way around plus $15k in parts and labor to make it a […]
A few years ago I would have ranted that this is an INSANE amount of money to pay for a used Mustang, but with the average sales price of a new car exceeding $45k and the average listing price of a used car pushing $25k, I can’t say that this next car is that expensive. […]
If you ask the average person in New Mexico what a “California Special” package might add to a Mustang, they would probably suggest that the package adds a homeless man in the rear seat and charges you an extra 50 cents a gallon at the pump for the no reason, but that isn’t quite true. […]
Larry Shinoda was the legendary automobile designer who was credited with the development of the original 69 Boss 302 Ford Mustang (and the Sting Ray Corvette when he was at GM). This next car is the final project that Shinoda worked on with Ford before he passed away in 1997 — you can read more […]
