An amazing run (per NBC national news)! ;D :D ;) :)
https://jalopnik.com/ford-just-made-its-10-millionth-mustang-1828196854
I've had (or still have) 4.
How about you?
-
I have four, two 68s and two 69s. If I had room I'd have more ;D
-
Two here. Although one is an '09 GT, it's still part of that 10 million.
-
Have had,
66 289 3 speed,
69 fast back 390 top loader
72 mach 1 428 CJ slush box
86 6 banger
Have now,
69 fast back race car.
The 69 390 4 speed was by far my fave street car.
-
Have or had:
1965 coupe
1966 fastback
1967 coupe 6 cyl
1967 coupe v8 green
1967 coupe v8 red
1967 fastback
1969 fastback

1976 coupe
1985 coupe
2007 fastback
An even dozen unless I keep remembering more.

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.

I have had , I want , want ,want

I did my part for Ford. Still have the Shelby, the LX, gave the '86 and '89 to my youngest son. Joe-JDC
-
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.

Yeah! That would be fun!

Hate to say it but in Michigan in the early 70's I parted out and scrapped (also buried on my farm) 5 64-65 Mustang converts and a notch back. Parted out a 65 notchback and sold a 78 302 Mustang II in 1985. But I did weld a new quarter panel in "Henrysnephew's" 67 car that became "Medium duty" in Michigan so I did actually save one.
Cant remember and don't want to remember others. Those were my Model A hotrod days.

Not counting a few 4 & 6 cylinder beaters/drivers, I have had 6 Mustangs. First was a Grabber Orange 70 Sportsroof, 351C 4V with Shaker, auto, later converted to a 4 speed. Bought it in 1976 for $2100. at a used car lot. The Grabber Green 70 Sportsroof is also a 351C 4V Shaker auto my buddy bought new, and still owns. Next came aGrabber Green 70 Mach1, also 351C auto. Paid $2500. in 1980.
Shortly after that, came a Gulfstream Auqa 69 R code 4 speed Mach 1. I bought it for $750.less the 428, but it did come with the big spline Toploader, N case 31 spline and was a manual steering car, but came with all new PS parts in the trunk, all in Ford boxes. No pic of that one. In late 1980, I picked up my 70 R code 4 speed Mach 1, Pastel Blue with blue interior. Had a fresh 428CJ with a fresh CJ C6 for $2000., but had a damaged LR 1/4 panel when the previous owner had a N50-15 tire & mag snap of the wheel studs. By 1980, NOS Ford 1/4 panels were already obsolete, but lucked out finding one on a 70 fastback in a local wrecking yard. Sold the 70 in 1986 for HUGE MONEY! (at the time!, $9100.), soon after bought a black 69 R code auto Mach 1, that was originally the same color as Jays (Silver Jade). This one did have the VIN stamped engine and trans. Sold that 69 twice, first in late 86, after it was confirmed a new track in Ashcroft BC was going to be in operation by 87. Sold the Mach 1 to help build my 78 Fairmont I bought in late 87. When it became obvious the Fairmont would not be ready for the new tracks opening, I bought the 69 back, and raced it thru 1987, always driving it the 4 hours each way to the new dragstrip. The Mustang stayed in the garage in pieces from 88 until I sold it to a buddy in 1992, after it became obvious the planned restoration would take a lot more money & time that I could afford anytime soon. When I decided to try racing in NHRA Stock Eliminator, the plans to build a 68-70 428 Mustang were dashed by the now sky high prices decent Mustang fastbacks were going for, so I picked up abadly neglected 85 4 cyl Mustang LX hatchback for 200 bucks. After a couple of years of digging up the bits & pieces, I had my 5.0 4 barrel M/Stocker ready.
