Mine is a 66 Shelby GT350. Don’t own it now and like you, probably out of reach for me now with prices being what they are.

Hell I’d be willing to part with my 66 fastback and my 3 other vintage muscle cars to get a real one.

 

'66 Shelby. Hertz w/ 4 speed would be really cool.

 

1967 Fastback, 390-4V, TopLoader, 3.25 Equalok, Lime Gold, Parchment Comfortweave (Luxury), Upper/Lower consoles, sport-deck, Convenience group, Tilt-Away.

 

Now that's specific. Good choice.

 

I'd like to have a 69 Sportsroof with a built 351C and a 4 speed. But I wouldn't give up my 65 for it because I've owned it for so long and my family would kill me if I did. Too many good, bad, and indifferent memories with this one.

 

My username says it all.

 

Mine would be 1969 Convertible with R code 428 and 4 speed manual transmission. Candy Apple Red w/ dark red/white interior. This is pretty much what I am building my current project to, except for the eng/trans of course

 

1970 Hertz /mach /boss / 429 Cleveland boss HO Shelby special order that I had when I was young.
(as per last car show I endured)

 

Interesting question as we all have preferences. A 65/66 GT350 would be at the top of my list, but now they are all but unobtanium.
My second choice is also my work in progress. A 70 Mustang Boss 302 would take my top spot. The closest I could afford after moving to AZ was a 70 Mach 1 that was in need of a lot of help. The first owner painted over the original Calypso Coral orange twice, why?. The original engine was gone and again the original owner had banged up the front of the car.
As the third owner, my turn to fix up the car and get it running again. I decided I wanted a Boss 302 tribute and that is the route I have taken. Not just a tribute, but a full pro touring Coyote swapped restomod. I am now in the last couple years of the build with the final body work and paint. I should have the car on the road in late 2023, hopefully it will live up to my vision.

 

I feel very fortunate to own a 1970 Mach 1 with a 351 Cleveland a 5-speed manual. But my dream Mustang is a 1968 GT-500 KR. Convertible or fastback would be fine.

 

I'm with the last few posts... I'm lucky to be building my favorite mustang, a 1968 Fastback. But if I had to pick another, it would be the 1969 Boss 302. I have the below picture of my favorite color combo, and this car belongs to someone here on the forum. That said, all the cars listed by everyone above are pretty awesome!

 

1969 Mach 1 in Indian Fire. Since we’re dreaming, 428/Shaker and a 4 speed, with rear window louvers and a front and rear spoiler.

 

Mine forty years ago...

 

Mine would be the 68 GT- KR 500

 

Had a job interview when I was wet behind the ears, they asked if you could work for any company who would it be. I gave the wrong answer and they said, well why don’t you go work from them instead of interviewing here…

I have my dream car. : )

 

Love this question.

I already own mine (my 66 fastback) as I've built it. Expensive, rare stuff certainly has its appeal, but I built mine the way I want it, and I'd feel guilty doing the same stuff to a Shelby or whatever.

As an addendum to the question, I've discovered over the years that beyond the one I've had for decades and love, I need other Mustangs for different reasons. A small stable of 2 or 3 with different purposes is better than something pricey that I feel like I couldn't really enjoy.

 

Great answer...if you cant really drive em why have em?

 

any mustang that comes with a free giant garage.

 

It’s sitting out in the garage hibernating.

 

The “Anvil” 69 Mustang, by Pure Vision design.

It’s one of those high dollar builds that in my mind has tasteful and timeless modifications to it. And with a 520ci Kaase Boss9, an engine that is equally timeless.

I love my car, and will keep it for as long as I reasonably can, but cant say it’s my dream car. But it’s the closest I could get given the time, money, and talent (or lack thereof) that I possess.

Close second would be a 67 Shelby GT350. The nose, the hood scoop, the side scoops, all just look perfect.

All in all, just thankful I am in a position to own a classic.


Sent from the interwebs... where else?

 

ELEANOR!!!!!! ROFLMAO..... Calm down, just getting your guys blood pressure up.

Mine would be 66 GT 350R, 66 GT 350H (Why I bought my 380R Roush in black with gold stripes and how I got my screen name) and of course a 69/70 Boss 429.

All of these came out before I was old enough to drive. By the time I earned enough money to buy something they have become so expensive they are just pipe dreams for me.

However, I'm VERY content with my 65 Coupe in its current build state. I'm building the car with everything I've always wanted in it (427 stroker, 5 speed TKO, Borla 8 stack EFI, Ford 9 inch and other items I think are cool like 4 wheel disc brakes, electronic emergency brake, back up camera, center console and custom gauges).

After investing all this time and money building it myself and making the car the way I want it I don't think I would ever get rid of it for something else.

It's current condition. A work in progress....

 

One that I don't have go through the motor every year with 315's on all 4 without flares.

 

1969 Boss 429 in red

 

Well if i can ever finish the dream I have in my head it'll be my 70 Mach1 I currently have. Other stablemates I can only dream of having would be: 1. 69 Mach1 M code, 4 speed shaker car triple black with F/R spoilers and rear window louvers. Basically my first car finished the way I had planned it. 2. 69/70 Shelby FB in any of the Grabber Blue/Green/Orange. 3. 69/70 Boss 302 any of the Grabber colors or Black. 4. 71 Boss 351.

 

69 Mach1 M code, 4 speed shaker

Ya, me too. Oh wait, I have it.

 

A real 68 Fastback 427 4 speed. They are quite common in dream land car shows. Everybody's uncle's cousin had one. Back in the day.

 

My backups are a 1970 Boss 302 or a 1971 Boss 351. The Shelby is out of my price range. If I scraped every nickel I had together, I could buy a real Boss 302 or Boss 351. But the truth is I'd be scared to drive it and would be afraid to change anything on it for fear of killing the value. That's why I'm building my car as a Boss 302 tribute car. Not my car below. Just the look I'm shooting for.

 

Some of y'all might find it strange, but my '65 hardtop is about as close as it could get for me. I appreciate the rare and collectible stuff, but it's just not for me; I'd be too worried about wrecking it and depriving the world of something historically significant. I'd rather put the money into some serious mods and make the car my own, doing it my way--which I've done pretty successfully, for the most part.

I can appreciate that. I don't want any car that's too nice or rare to drive without giving me anxiety.
