Chili Ron Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Howdy, No fastback? I'm stunned. Best CR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrus Cassidy #45437 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Hehehe. Colorado's Bureau of Land Management has a program where they round up wild mustangs and burros and allow people to adopt them for a very reasonable price. I've known a few people who had the heart and time to gentle / tame and train them, and they've all been extremely happy with the results. So I opened this thread thinking you were going to have one of these Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixgun Sheridan Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I used to have a '67 Mustang. Just like its namesake I could never tame it... I sank thousands of dollars into it trying to restore it and make it reliable enough to trust driving it more than 50 miles, but I never succeeded. As fast as I fixed one component another broke, and in our soggy NW weather it rusted faster than I could clean it off and re-paint it. Finally sold it off on the cheap... and just a few years later values skyrocketed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I had a "64 1/2" back in the college days. Right primitive it was, with a six cylinder engine and 3-speed floor shift transmission without first gear synchro. Pretty unimpressive. Wish I still had it.

Blackwater 53393 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 All of that ballyhoo about a glorified Falcon with a too small back seat and pitiful handling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Four-Eyed Buck,SASS #14795 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Over the years I've had a '65, '66, 67, '68, and an '05. All of them were 8's except the '05. Old age keeps me from fitting in one comfortably now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tennessee Trapper Tom Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 My Dad used to buy and restore 60s mustangs. Two of my siblings got them for graduation presents. I was a Chevy guy, I got a 69 Camero. Anyway, Hardpan, I’ll bet you wish you had that mustang now. 641/2. Wow, worth big bucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixgun Sheridan Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I sold mine for $4500 15 years ago. It was loaded with every single option under the sun... deluxe hood, center console, tilt steering wheel, 4bbl V8. That same car in the same condition I sold it in would be at least a $25,000 car now. You can literally buy a brand-new 2018 Mustang cheaper than what a fully-restored 1960's original would cost you. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calamity Kris Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Looks like a lot of those video's were filmed in the Victorville area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Whiskers Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I had 3 Mustangs. A 65 (the "better half" totaled it) and a 66, both coupes and a 70 Boss 302 I had to sell that to help buy my 1st house. Toss in a 66 289 AC Cobra. I never had good luck with Chevy's. I had 2 of 5 Chevy's that held up longer than 2 years. One was a 63 Bel Aire with a 327 and the other a 66 1/2 ton with a 250 ci 6 and a 3 on the tree with OD.
