Under ideal (yet realistic logistically and financially) circumstances, what Mustang would you build? What year? What body style? Would you build a restomod, a clone or return a car to concourse correctness? Lastly, would you be willing to invest more in the car to get it the way you want it than it could ever possibly be worth?
<edit> I suppose I should contribute to my own poll huh? So here goes: I love my convertible...but it's one of those cars that is best left alone for the most part. So it's future stablemate will most likely be the following: a '69 sportroof meticulously built to be a borderline street car/race car. A full on trans-am style rig with big wheels and brakes stuffed into the wheel wells and held up by all the best stuff Total Control builds. A nasty 347 stroker with a six speed tranny. The car would have to have all the best period correct pieces of the day though.....shaker hood, side scoops, etc. to keep the look of the original. Did I mention a concourse type interior but with drastically improved seats upholstered to look stock and a tastefully upholstered roll cage? (can you say open track) Lastly, a killer sound system that you can not see, but can definitely hear when the time is right. Yup....I figure about $40K to build it right....in my mind, it money better spent than on a bloated SUV or something else that depreciates (and depresses me) daily. OK, I'm done for now.
