A new model.


myLot reputation of 82/100. gandor (337)  4 years ago

I believe the choice is for comfort, reliability, dependability and style, right?

Any mustang...new or old. I have a 92 and a 95 mustang. Love them all!


myLot reputation of 82/100. gandor (337)  4 years ago

Mustang. That's a good brand. How do i classify your rides, a 14yr old and an 11 yr old? Surely i couldn't tag them as classics. Would you be interested in a 67'? What do you think? Old or New?

if for regular use i will go for new model but as usuall i love to have a wintage model. it really have there own class


myLot reputation of 82/100. gandor (337)  4 years ago

Same here bro. When restoring a classic, be sure to have an extra car. Do not force your project for daily use. Caution, riding a classic is very addictive. Thanks for the response man.

classic with model cars performance


myLot reputation of 82/100. gandor (337)  4 years ago

I like the idea. But maybe I'll base my stand whether the car needs to be on the purist side or the transplant side. depending on the availability of parts and beneficial performance. Thanks man.

I like classic cars


myLot reputation of 82/100. gandor (337)  4 years ago

Me too. I've always been facinated with old cars, brought back to life. A head turner. On the other hand, a new model would be beneficial in terms of performance and comfort. But merely give it a few years and it's style is yesterdays news, just like that. I think I'll go for the TIMELESS choice. Thanks man.

In my youth (until I was about 40), I collected 1960s Mustangs and 1960s
muscle cars. I had every model from 1964 1/2 to 1969, fastback, sedan and
convertible. The red 1966 convertible with the white top and interior were
my favorites.

Today, my favorite car is my 1963 Cadillac convertible, which recently won
the "best restoration" trophy at the Guadalajara car show. I also have a
new Ford F350 and a new Jeep. In the past I have owned new and classic
luxury cars, British and American. Rolls/Bentley is nice, of course, but
too conspicuous in a way that I do not like. Jaguar and other sports cars
such as Ferrari, Maserati, Lotus, and Lamborghini are also wonderful, but
they also generate the wrong kind of attention; especially from traffic cops.

As far as a modern luxury car that is not too over the top, Mercedes
sedans are nice; but my simple old Cadillac creates a lot of good
conversation without undue attention. It also helps that I live in
Mexico, and the local traffic cops know that if they demand a bribe from
me that I will not lend them my classic Cadillac convertible when their
daughter needs it for her wedding or other special event.

What you just said my friend is beyond my wildest imagination. Not many people have this kind of priviledge you have right now. It's not a joke to learn how to restore a classic, not to mention the deep deep pockets it requires. Anyways, I once planned to restore too a 64 1/2 mustang, unfortunately i got transfered to another location (work), so i ended up selling it to a pitiful price. You have endured cars far better than i met personally. It's really nice to hear from people who are in your caliber, and still find some time to talk to us people down here. Thanks for responding and sharing.
