Two here. Although one is an '09 GT, it's still part of that 10 million.

Only had two. A '73 Mach 1 & a '90 5.0 LX. I would have thought it would be way more than 10 meg. I can remember when Chev came out with the millionth Vega edition. A million Vegas in three years? Who would have thought. The Pinto never came close, although it was a far superior car except for the gas tank used for the trunk floor calamity. Which by the way was used in the early Mustangs & Comets without fears. Good for Ford, I hope they make 10 million more. And yes, I wish I still had them both.

Don’t know if I can remember them all.
Although I haven’t had a 67/68 or 69/70.
Should prolly take care of that.

Joe, I've seen you mention that Shelby many times. Is that an original paint car? If so, that is one CLEAN Shelby!

Yes, original paint.  I need to get it down off the lift and back on the road.  It has been too long since I have driven it.  Check out the tires,  they're from 1972.  Still look new.  LOL.  Will change upper control arm bushings, shocks, tires, belts, hoses, new battery, etc., before driving it anywhere.  Just dreading going to the DMV to register it after 34 years in my garage.  Joe-JDC

I've owned a '90 LX 5.0 and an '02 GT.  An '68 S-code coupe is on my bucket list.

I'd like to have an '85 GT.  Last carbureted year.  And 210 net hp in a 3000 lb vehicle was amazing in 1985!

That, sir, is a true survivor! I saw the Polyglas tires and wondered just how original the car was. That's one car I would be careful with deciding where to drive it. Thanks for showing some details of it.

My 85 was an LX coupe with T5 trans. It was a blast to drive.
