Oh man... Mustangs are cool. I had a red '65 Mustang Fastback a few years ago (2004). Totally original, not even a single screw hole on the dash. Even the original radio was working perfectly. It was my daily driver (only car) for over six months, and only the water pump broke once. Cost 85 euros to get a new one. It was great. Quite a handful, the handling was appalling if I'm honest. It didn't want to go straight at all, and the steering was hmmm... interesting. Brakes were quite bad. As was the acceleration and the chassis. But it didn't matter. Awesome V8 burble and it had some serious attitude and it also was easily the coolest car on the road. Roll down the windows, cruise at 50km/h and enjoy
Bought it for 10500 euros is April, sold it for 12000 euros in October. Now they are worth over 20k in euros in here. I think that was the only car I've ever made any profit with
Shouldn't have sold it, but that's the way it goes. I was 22 at the time, and had always wanted one. It was a great experience. After that I got myself a '90 Corvette, because I had always wanted to drive that one too. Then a '94 Trans Am. Now I'm back to normal cars again
Gas is over $9/gallon in here after all.
Those cars were great. I had wanted to experience them from when I was a little boy, and so I did. And I'm pretty happy that I did. Don't have to regret that later on.... "what if". If you want something, get it
Life is short and you can't take your money with you when you die.
I still occasionally regret that I sold the Fastback though. Maybe I'll get one again later on. They are extremely rare in here, haven't seen any for sale in almost five years.
P.S. Sorry about my english, this is my 3rd language
And sorry about the offtopic rant, but old Mustangs have a special place in my heart
