Tell me more about your Mustang - I love all the fastbacks!
My favorite is the 69, then the 70.
I prefer the 65/66 'smaller' fastbacks' than the 67/68 - but they are all marvellous!!!
I have a buyer interested in my 70 fastback...
If that sells, and our Searay boat (which we dont use any more),,,
...then I want to buy a 2006-2008 Corvette ZO6 in Velocity Yellow (got to love a 427cid thats 505 hp engine in a 3200 lb car). Can you say MID-LIFE CRISIS?? Keep in mind these are NET hp numbers, not the GROSS power ratings of years back with them big sticky tires.
Other options were a Cadillac CTS-V (6.2 liter 500 hp with factory supercharger) but that will be when Im older. Considered a 2008ish GT500 but they are heavy and performance numbers arent impressive - want to be sure its quicker than the Camaro ZL1...
I have decided to go this route rather than an older restoration because I want to offset some of the cost by driving it a fair amount in summer (10000 kms or so to keep miles off the SD)...

I love stang's all years. The older ones had such style, but ya cannot beat the performance of the new ones, and new technology.
Ive actually always loved it when guys took new technology and put it in old sylish rides, to me thats the best!
Warren that will be a hell of a cool car, talk about fast too! When ya get it Id love to go for a ride!
