Thanks. I'm very excited!! Can't wait for the car to get here ;D

I'll be the 2nd to offer congrats - thats one nice looking car! Besides looking great, what are the features on it (tranny type, rear-end gears, etc.)?

That's a great looking car! You might as well get an extra set of rear tires. I sold my 69 mach1 428 CJ last year, you can't help but smoke the tires with all that torque!!!

...My addiction began with the aviation and love of the reknown P-51 Mustang. The name synonamous w/ speed, beauty and free spirit caused me to aquire seven of them over the years including 2 GT/CS', 2 Mach I's, 2 '66 coupes and a '69 302 (std.) fastback. One of the Mach's is a "3-51" Mustang, the closest I could hope to get to the "P" 51... It is indeed an addiction with only one cure: 8 cylinders + 4-speed = the only 12-step program...

Did you know, according to automotive lore the Ford Mustang was *originally* named for the airplane not the horsey....

...and here's one that's for sale...

Sold

...Indeed, but I'm sure the pony emblem was more universal for marketing than a P-51...

Finally got all 3 cars together for some pics.

Very nice Joe. Which one do you like to drive the most?

For pure adrenilin, I like the convertible the most. But for cruising, the GT/CS is best. My least favorite is the Mach 1.

Really? Wow, thats hard to believe, but then again I`m kinda partial to Mach 1`s since my mom had one. To tell you the truth though, I think the Mach 1 looks the fastest.:grin:
