Happy 57th Birthday

[Darren390]

It's my Mustangs 57th birthday today, being built in Detroit on 12 December 1966. Its hard to believe I've owned it nearly 20 years, so 1/3 of its life. Its given me some fantastic memories and taken me on some amazing European trips. Here's to another 20 years!

I always love seeing long term ownership cars like this too.

That's lovely. What version is it? Did you import it yourself?

Must have been a lot cheaper back in 2003!

Happy Birthday to the Pony car.

Mine was born 16 February 1966, so coming up to it's 58th. I haven't looked after it for as long as you though ...

Yes, I imported it myself. I purchased it off ebay from a farmer in Ohio. Cost $13,700 when it was nearly $2 to £1! Was definitely a wise investment, I certainly couldn't afford to buy it now.

It's a 390 GTA. I sometimes wish I'd gone for a manual, but the auto just makes it more of a cruiser. Just use the huge amount of torque from 6.4 litres!
