Mustang Opinions and Advice
Discussion
Hello all,
It has been a long time since I posted in a PH forum. In fact it has been ten years and in those days I was posting in the TVR forums... I have not had a decent car since selling the Chimaera and have been longing for something to proud of for a few years now.
Well, I have now moved to the USA which means that I in am the fortunate position of being able to choose from many wonderful Mustangs. Good looking as the newer models are, it is the older ones that really appeal to me - first generation cars 1964-1970; fastback for preference, but also really like the coupe and convertibles.
Essentially, I am keen to hear anyone's opinions on which years/models are especially appealing as I am finding it rather daunting deciding what to start looking for. I am intending to run the car in the USA and then ship back to the UK when I come home in three years time. For this reason, I have more-or-less discounted the convertible option due to the constant rain. Although I have no idea if it would leak as much as my TVR did!
On a related issue, I was chatting to the owner of this ('Redback'') Mustang today - a rather splendid example of the marque.

Naturally, I have been through all 50 pages on this forum and picked up some good hints and tips. If I missed one dealing with specifically the issue of deciding which one to go for and what makes each model unique then please accept my apologies.
If I didn't miss it then I really look forward to hearing from you all.
Many thanks,
KH.

Thank you all very much for the advice so far. The book has been ordered and I have been in touch with Pony Works in Albuquerque regarding cars. The garage seems great and the owner (Chris) had a long chat with me about Mustangs. Hopefully either I will find one and he will check it our for me or he will come across one that is to my liking.
