Nice place you have here, and a good idea for a thread. I love classic cars, the 60's were my favorite era with all those muscle car beasts. I had a 1966 Ford Mustang 2 + 2 with a 4-speed 289 V8 back in the 1980's. One summer I had the engine rebuilt after it blew out a piston, and the next summer I got a 4-speed transmission for it after the Chevy one in it (put in by previous owner) locked up and would only go in reverse. Bought the T10 trans at a local junkyard and had that rebuilt too. Luckily I had a good paying summer job both years earning about twice the minimum wage at the time, so I could afford it. My dream car from that time would have been a 1969 Boss 429 Mustang, but they were expensive back then, comparatively. Today they run over $300,000 for a restored one. In the future I hope to acquire a later model Shelby Mustang with all the modern amenities that today's cars can offer, either a GT350 or GT500. I'm so glad American auto manufacturers started building real muscle cars again after decades of going after fuel economy and tamping down on horsepower that started in the 1970's.
