Hmm. While I wouldn’t have enjoyed riding in the back seat, the 4 seater Vette was better looking than the clunky TBird.

Interesting article. Even if I'm just one of those Boomer "ubiquitous" 64.5-66 Mustang owners.

A logo on the dash is better than nothing, but heck, I'd still like to know who the idiot was that decided to not use a universally recognized logo on the car. Let's face it, the blue ford oval is pretty lame.

Enjoyed reading this one. Can anyone tell me why the Foxes didn't have Mustang Logos anywhere to be seen? It's *supposed to be* a Mustang, after all?

No Surprise there. My parents and I had a 65 Mustang in Germany in the late 60's. It stood out from all the other cars on the road, and the comments and offers to buy it back then, were frequent.

Beautiful car for a '66. I'd love a leather interior in my 64.5.

Nice to know my first gen Mustang is holding steady. 🙂 Of course she isn't going anywhere. 3 owners in 57 years, only two families.

Renaissance man, sweet little car. 🙂

Numberscruncher · ‎10-06-2021

Lovely car. Fascinating history. Enjoyed this one.

Other than the plutonium key fob and the "mishap" at the school, loved the article! More, please!

Numberscruncher · ‎07-06-2021

Beautiful car with a star studded history. If only I had that kind of play around money.

Love Rolls Royces, but 28M? Ouch.

Numberscruncher · ‎01-06-2021

Beautiful Car.

Numberscruncher · ‎01-06-2021

How many people really *need* something like that?

Numberscruncher · ‎14-05-2021

That cougar is cool.

Numberscruncher · ‎10-05-2021

Oh, that Mercedes is beautiful.

Numberscruncher · ‎06-05-2021

Good list. Thanks.

Numberscruncher · ‎06-05-2021

Good suggestions.

Numberscruncher · ‎05-05-2021

That's a lifetime of gathering. Too bad he didn't put all those resources to good use.

Numberscruncher · ‎05-05-2021

A "barn find" is typically a candidate for restoration. A junker is only good for parts, at most.

Numberscruncher · ‎04-05-2021

Very true. Once upon a time, cars had personality and character, now 90% of them are interchangeable.

Numberscruncher · ‎03-05-2021

KIA Telluride is a classic collectable? NOT.

Numberscruncher · ‎29-04-2021

Beautiful cars.

Numberscruncher · ‎29-04-2021

2021 is collectible, how, exactly?

Numberscruncher · ‎29-04-2021

That V16 is beautiful!

Numberscruncher · ‎28-04-2021

Sounds like fun. The SA Mustang club is a cliquish flop.

Numberscruncher · ‎28-04-2021

New = Boooooring!

Numberscruncher · ‎20-04-2021

Hot DANG! As an owner of a 64 1/2, Thank You! Only question I have, is, why wasn't this the lead article? I almost didn't see this, with the AMC article leading.

Numberscruncher · ‎15-04-2021

MMM... I'm a Mustang enthusiast. That generally means I know what I want, and if I can't get it today, I will find it elsewhere, or order it. I take umbrage to your claim that enthusiasts make bad customers. The kid in your story was NO enthusiast. He was a kid, swayed by the "influencers" out there, who demonstrated his impulsiveness and fickleness by buying a different color and transmission, after ordering what he thought he wanted.

Numberscruncher · ‎03-04-2021

Living in SA, there are only a couple of weeks out of the year when driving my baby isn’t advisable, so she never goes into storage, but Spring is a good time to check things out. Thanks for the tips.

Numberscruncher · ‎02-04-2021

Now, those are classic cars! Thank you.

Numberscruncher · ‎31-03-2021

How wonderful that such a beauty gets to see the light of day again. So sad, when a piece of art is locked away in a box.

Numberscruncher · ‎20-03-2021

Restomod Classic is an oxyMORON.

Numberscruncher · ‎19-03-2021

I appreciate the suggestion, but that wouldn't really be fair, as one lives 800 miles away and another lives 1100 miles away. The third lives locally.

Numberscruncher · ‎19-03-2021

Thanks for a neat story. It put a big smile on my face. I got my 64.5 Mustang (86K orig miles) from my dad, and my kids are already squabbling over who gets it next. 🙂

Numberscruncher · ‎01-03-2021

Beautiful Car. Too bad they ruined it with those clearly aftermarket wheels/tires. Ruins the aesthetic.

Numberscruncher · ‎27-02-2021

Modern “classic” is an oxymoron.

Numberscruncher · ‎17-12-2020

Preach it!

Numberscruncher · ‎17-12-2020

I, too, wish it was an early April Fool's joke. But, no, the Folks at Ford are THAT Craven and Soulless.

Numberscruncher · ‎17-12-2020

Nah, Minivans are passé. They will offer an extended wheelbase SUV first. You know, the station wagon on steroids motif?

Numberscruncher · ‎17-12-2020

Exactly.

Numberscruncher · ‎17-12-2020

WADR, it has nothing to do with whether it's electric or gas. In the early years, there were mockups made of both a 4 door Mustang sedan, and a 5 door Mustang station wagon. Both concepts were scrapped, because that wasn't what the Mustang was intended to be. I *might* consider buying an e- CAR (I.e. 2 door coupe) Mustang at some point in the future, when they have useable ranges and we have the power grid to support it, but an e-SUV is not, and will never be, a Mustang.

Numberscruncher · ‎17-12-2020

Not a "dichotomy" its an "oxyMORON."

Numberscruncher · ‎17-12-2020

Agreed!

Numberscruncher · ‎17-12-2020

Exactly! It *may* or*may not* compete with a Tesla SUV, frankly, I could care less. I don't want or need a SUV, If I ever go electric, it's gonna be a golf cart to run to the grocery store or for puttering around town. It reminds me of those kits they made back in the 70s, that you could put on a VW Beetle, that made the front end look (with eyes squinted way shut) like the front end of a Rolls Royce. That converted beetle was never a Rolls. This E-contraption may be great for people wanting an e-SUV, but it will *NEVER* be a Mustang. All Ford did was shoot the Mustang Legacy in the foot with this piece of work. Your author should be ASHAMED to claim it is a Mustang.

Numberscruncher · ‎17-12-2020

Now there's a useful article. Thanks.

Numberscruncher · ‎16-12-2020

That piece of **bleep** is NOT a Mustang and never will be. It’s a four door SUV with an electric power plant. The fact that it has four wheels is about all it has in common with a Mustang. - Proud original owner of a 1964.5 MUSTANG.

Numberscruncher · ‎23-11-2020

They are all equally disgusting and irrelevant to a classic car collector.

Numberscruncher · ‎03-11-2020

With batteries that size, it'll never be practical.

Numberscruncher · ‎29-10-2020

Thank you for an article about classic cars. That's why I use Hagerty. I could care less about some stupid 2020 vehicle, especially the trucks and suv's you've been prattling on about.
