The Mustang was launched 60 years ago today ! The original car was $2368.00 and that came with a six-cylinder engine, bucket seats, full carpeting, padded instrument panel, all-vinyl upholstery, and full wheel covers. It had the look of luxury at a low ba...  

My family has had multiple over the decades........ Still, the 60s cars are my favorite overall........

I also love the early cars.

was 49 years ago I think it was a 1968 Mustang; it was a slow ride for a short distance, but memorable. Cazalea ...  

And I’m not referring to the car 😉

The Shelby, any Shelby is the one to have …. Surely an instant classic. Second most ???

It would be wonderful to know what happened to it.

Beautiful shot of a memorable day… and car ride!! Thanks for sharing dear Mike!!

Redwoods shown for scale. ...  

Did you enjoy it ?

I wanted something with a "California" vibe and Hertz had some premium options, including 911's, but the Mustang GT just seemed right for the job. Not sure I'd want to live with a V8 2 door on a regular basis.

Came close to buying one several times, boss302 and gt350 were the most tempting where I live. Sadly they've grown way too big for my taste, width and weight are a bit out of control which is a global disease sadly.

Plenty of scope for tuning 😎

I have been veeeeery close to buy a red (black stripes) one some years ago. No regrets, again. But, still, I like those cars very much!

Definitely a classic… ...

. . . is a rare high-performance 289. I've seen a handful from the '60s thru the '80s, but none recently. Cool stuff, Abel!

… that car had those safety pins installed on its hood. I thought those were aftermarket accessories installed by the owner. Telling by the plate numbers this car was most probably imported from the USA around 2018 taking advantage of certain facilities g... 

… about this beloved American car dear Captain! As you know (and most friends here know as well) I have a long life love affair with this car which originated just in 1964 when the first pony cars were launched. I was a 15 years old lad then and the impac...  

You made the dream a reality, something to be very proud of.

In a few minutes with my post about the local event. Have a nice Sunday dear friend!! Abel
