Owning a Classic Mustang.

[docevi1]

Hello,

I've always loved the older Mustang's (late 60's), specifically the fastback. I've always had something for Shelby versions and then Elanor from Gone In Sixty Seconds ().

One day I'd love to own a Mustang, but to be honest I know very little about them. Were any officially imported into the country in RHD? What are they like to own - reliable? What sort of cost are very well sorted examples?

Might just have to be my first hard-top car when I graduate

oh I'm not in the position to get one at the precise moment (still a student and have just bought a Marlin Roadster), but I was wondering if you could drive one as an everyday car?

I'd really prefer RHD, stick with what I know (is it possible to swop it over?) and I like fastback style - I'm not keen on the others for some reason, guess it's the Bullit thing.

Do you run yours as an everyday car? What are they like? Do they rust easy (lets face it, it rains a lot here)? Are they reliable for an older car (i.e. with careful maintaince they will work fine)?


Ancient, that makes you 25 then You're only as old as you feel, a firm belief my dad and I share.

Are you coming to pistonfest, planning on bringing the 'tang?

thanks for the reply

this sounds like a plan Might have to investigate something along these lines.

Dr Pepper, I hadn't thought of that

May I ask why you are paranoid? I know I am with my current car (soft-top), but your tin top may be damaged but is less of a target I would have thought...

These people who own classic 'stangs, you bringing them to PF? Love to see them!
