I'm 32. My father bought a brand new 1968 gt 390w 2+2 the minute it hit the showroom floor back in 67-68. When I was born in 1972, my mother advised
him that a fastback mustang was no longer realistic for a family so he sold it for next to nothing in 1974.
Throughout the years I listened to family and friends tell stories about how fast my dads car was, and how the engine screamed. I have pictures of my dad with his car, and although he never said it, I know he missed her. At the age of 14 I knew my first car would be a 68 fastback
I ended up at 16 with a 79 4 banger.
Anyway, as time went on I held onto my dream that one day I would own my dads car. As years went by things such as university,a new wife, our first home, and children were more important things to enjoy than buying my dream car. In 2000 the release of the BULLIT re-awakened my lust for a pony car. Afterall my dad owned a true bullit long before Steve Mcqueen cast it as his car of choice for the film. Once again the practical realities of economic priority stalled my purchase.
Present day- 6 months ago I showed my father the pics of the 2005 concept. His eyes lit up and he could not hide his excitement. HE thinks its the best looking mustang since then. He knows that its been my desire for a long time to own a top'o'line stang.
Back to the topic of this poll, I'm finally, at 32, ready to buy the mustang I want, and my 2005 gt will be making its first stop at dads for his well deserved test drive
