2. 1995 Saturn SL2 5-speed, 126,500 miles. 5,000 miles in two and a half months. That works out to 24,000 miles per year if I can keep up the pace.

I don't care about all that shit.  I'll be going to college to get an education at a cost to my parents.  I'm not going to fool around.

I like 67-68 better than 64 or 69

There's not that big of a difference between them is there? (67',68',69?)

Classic 64 for me!

Chevyguy, you dog! :lol: I got on here to post this very thread...you beat me to it.

But, anyway, I voted '05.

'87!

I've never been that big of a fan of the 79' or the 87' bodystyles, but those 2 I posted look really nice.

Depending on price, that could be a good deal.

Whoever voted for the 74' needs their eyes checked :P

'66 Fastback for me.

2004 Chrysler Intrepid R/T Clone - Titanium Graphite [3.5L V6 - 250hp]
1996 BMW 325i Convertible - Brilliant Black [2.5L I6 - 189hp]

Nethead

There are four classic Mustangs:
The '65 fastback (these were officially named the "Mustang 2+2")
The '67 fastback
The '69 fastback
The '05 fastback

The '05 fastback is the Nethead here's pick because:
It returned the Mustang to its true DNA after wandering in the styling wilderness for thirty-seven years.
It has a chassis torsional rigidity of 6000 pounds per inch of deflection (I dunno how many degrees that would be, but probably no more than one degree of deflection).  Lessons learned from the twenty-eight GT500 test mules resulted in improvements to every '06 and later Mustang to increase the chassis rigidity to nearly 7500 pounds per inch of deflection.
Every car engine Ford has ever built will fit in the engine compartment without fender bashin' or firewall Sawzallin'--and that includes the GT500's DOHC 5.4; the 427 pushrodder of NASCAR, Cobra, and Ford GT fame; the SOHC 427; the Boss 429; the SOHC 3-valve 6.8 V10; and even the Aston Martin Vanquish 6.0 V12.
It has the roomiest interior of any Mustang ever built, and it's even roomier with the rear seat folded down,
It offers 500-watt and 1000-watt audio.
It offers 5-speed automatics or 5-speed manuals.
It has 4-wheel disc brakes with optional ABS.
It is the basis for the GT500, the GT500 KR, and the GT500 Super Snake--each with more horsepower and torque than was ever available in any previous Shelby versions of the early Mustangs.
It has a 5-star frontal crash rating.
It is tied with the Mazda RX-8 for third place as the most rollover-resistant vehicle sold in the US--behind the Mazda MX-5 and the BMW Z4--according to the NHTSA.
The GT comes standard with an all-aluminum, fuel-injected, variable-intake-timing, SOHC, 3-valve V8 that cranks out 300 HP on regular unleaded.
Twenty-five (maybe more by now) different companies offer tuner Mustangs with horsepower ranging from a little more than stock to 900 horsepower.
Ford, Steeda, Kenny Brown, and Miller Motorsports Park offer complete, fully-assembled roadracing versions.
It's still The One :ohyeah:

Actually my 74 was a very decent car.  It got me through 7 years of college and a year of career.  Traded it in with 247,000 miles on the clock.

It may be a good car, but IMO it's very ugly.

It's funny that I voted '69 here, but '90 with my dollars when I bought this, built the engine, got a careless and reckless in it, had a lot of fun, had a lot fo heartache and sold it after two years.

2006 Lexus IS350 - bone stock wouldn't change a thing
2006 MINI Cooper S - For Sale!
2002 Toyota Tacoma - A man and his truck, it's a beautiful thing!

GoCougs

'69 for me. It also has the my favorite interior (especially the dash) of any Mustang.

They look better in the flesh than in pictures.? Also, you are looking at a Cobra, which was an ugly decal and paint option.  Ford must have done something right, they sold about 400,000 the first year.
