SO what, it's just another "barn find" that will be all over the news/media to generate huge publicity and EXTREMELY high cost for Auction house.

I love muscle cars and all but the hype/prices are just ridicules. I will pass when they come down to earth......

....to you

see my sig.

honestly, Ive always liked the '69. Though I also wouldnt want to own it because I would be scared to drive it and wouldnt give it the love it needs.

I'd drive the crap out of a 2014 V6 though. so, ya. Id also prefer to own a 2014.

Haters gonna hate. Where's that one Honda Civic ricer that comments on his 2.0 offering up the same HP as this GT500 ?? C'mon, I know you are lurking around here !!!

I owned a 65 mustang at one time. Sure it was kinda neat driving a piece of history and wondering where it has been and who had been in it. But if you're asking me which I'd rather drive give me the new car with all the creature comforts I've become accustomed to.

This girl I went to high school with lived out in the country, her dad restored cars. She used to drive around in a white 64 or 65 I think. Miss that girl. Brother drove around in a Mach 1 that looked almost identical to this

My Dad had a '73 Mach 1.

Holy crap that thing was a rust bucket though...
