Awesomness

paying for gas lol (9 mpg driving nice)

Here's To Power — How can you go wrong with a muscle mach 1? People would ask if this thing was for sale on a weekly basis. Motors built to about 430hp. And it just sounds like a beast, the whole car rumbles at idle. Easy to work on too.

Fun, Power, Long, Built To Protect You — Fairly rare as many are more attracted to the 60's model. Feels stronger with more medal in the exterior... I was originally looking for the earlier model but after going to many car shows and seeing no mustangs in this year I was more attracted to it. I like the feeling of space in the car and being able to have someone in the backseat if needed.

Your Bottom-line On This Car — This was a great car, finally got a car with a V8 but was only a car for two. After about 2 years it started to rust around the rear tail lights. I got it all fixed up and got a beautiful paint job and then I started having trouble with the engine so I traded it in on a used station wagon.

I Love This Car And Owned It More Then 30 Years — good performance 351 c 4v it's old but you might not think so ,and it has great lines in the body it's not great on gas but performance in the 70's gas wasn't a issue. while driving this old beast you get plenty of thumbs up.

I Love This Car. — This is a work in progress for me that I have spent the last couple of years building. It started out as a clunker but became reliable once I put some time and money into it. In the near future I will be completing and new custom built motor for this car that will give the car an impressive 700+ hp. This car was a blast to drive before and got decent gas mileage for the type of car it was and now after painting it and a new motor, it will be even better.
