All I know is that everywhere I go I see Mustangs, Mustangs, Mustangs, old ones, new ones, restored ones, beat up ones, py , nice, you name it Mustangs are all over but you rarely see T-birds and when I do I smile, because they are far and few. I find Mustangs are over rated. I only like the old 60's ones myself

Good work!  Most people just don't "get" these cars.  They just see them as old '80s cars with no value.  It takes someone with real passion to stick to their guns and see the project through when your not working on something mainstream like a muscle car, etc.


+1 (as I'm currently working on an 83 and 84!) :hick:

I've got a mix of TBirds and Mustangs and would probably own some other models if I had unlimited space.  Took a 2000+ mile roadtrip in my '09 GT and not sure I'd want to do that in an old 60's Mustang. :)

We also have a mix of Ponys & Tbirds, & like them all.
At times it is nice to just sit back in one of the Tbirds & cruise along the highway. At other times we like to go cruising in the SVO, or in the GT with the top down. Personally, I can't say that I prefer one or the other between birds & ponys.
We recently did a 1650 mile trip back to AZ. in the 86 GT vert and while obviously not as comfortable as the Birds, it was a fun trip for us.
