Damn I was told you had to be a millionaire to drive a Mustang.
They must be more expensive in Canada.

lolololol I wonder who told you that.....????? A sixties mustang is one of the best bargains on the road. Chic and practical especially if you live in a snowless climate.

As the owner of 2 classic Mustangs, I can tell you that you don't need to be a millionaire to own one. I paid $10k for one and spent another $15k on restoration for a rust-free car. I could have gone a cheaper route and spent about $6k with the engine/carb/tranny/rear end rebuild but I also went with virtually all original parts. I didn't paint it, either -- or it would be a show car I'd never drive.

You can pick up a nice California rust-free classic 'Stang for under $15k and if you need financing (I didn't) you can go to JJ Best Banc -- 5% for older cars. Check the Hemmings Motor News website for some awesome deals. (Careful with eBay, tons of cars people don't own are being auctioned).

I get about 22 mph with an inline 6 (stock). It goes into winter storage in another week or two (cry).

I paid under $40k for my goat, which is the price some of the newer cars cost.

You can make that kind of money in porn? I gotta rethink my business model.

I think Dickinbush is ready to unload his SLK hard top convertible. I'm guessing it only has 6000-7000 miles on it knowing him.

I know I overpaid grossly but it was my first classic, I had very poor advice from my ex but it was rust-free so in the end, I don't complain all that much.

Mine goes 0-60 in about 15 seconds, which doesn't make it a Shelby but it's not often I need to go that fast in that amount of time.

Once I get the goat on the road, though, with its V8 and 389 -- watch out!

"Mustangs? Sky? Ragtops?" Whoa, Does your fat ass fit in these little speedy gocards? I can't.
You should try maybe BIG

Good shocks & suspensions

I sold it earlier this year....a widowmaker. Now I have a milder version. I don't need to get to sixty in 4.7 seconds.
