If you didn't have your Mustang what classic would you have?

A couple of years before I bought my FB I almost bought an Edsel. It was pretty cool. Otherwise, I would have a 68 Firebird Sprint (I 230 6 cyl. with 4bbl).

A Cougar......oh wait. It would be a falcon, comet or fairlane.

A '66 Fairlane

Almost bought a '55 Chevy but the owner wouldn't sell it.
My dad had talked me into a '56 Crown Victoria, but we couldn't find one.
Found a '66 GT 350H that had been rolled - really messed up, but it was all there - couldn't find another fastback for parts - plus nobody wanted the black and gold Shelbys back then.
Ended up with a '71 Mach 1.

67 GTA convertible. I almost bought this car. If I would have an additional 2K it would have been mine.

1967 ALFA GTV

Next on my list
Series 1 Jaguar XKE Coupe

'69 Camaro period. I had two favorite cars when I was young that I wanted. Luckily, the fastback came along.

My first mustang was a '66 coupe that I bought about 20 years ago. When I went looking for something to replace it I almost bought a '69 GTO. I have a feeling had I bought it instead of my '69 Mustang coupe I never would have become the mustang fan I am today. Since the purchase of my '69 I've had another '69 coupe, grande and my '01 Bullitt. Thank goodness the GTO cost more than my coupe.

I was once driving thought a TINY town in Louisiana and saw a 67 Firebird Sprint convertible pulling into a post office. I stopped to talk to the guy (my dad had a 326). It was a Firebird Sprint, vert, four speed, LOADED. AC, disc brakes, everything from the factory. He was the original owner and had restored it 3 times! It was his daily driver his entire life, and he would just drive it until it needed a complete tear down.

A 65 ford truck with a 6 cyl.

autoxsteve · 11-17-2009, 08:58 AM

Probably a 1965 Corvair Corsa or Monza.... 180 HP Turbocharged or 140 HP (4 one barrels)....

Javelin or AMX. Never owned one, but I've always liked the looks.

That's third on my list and more likely to be the next.
