I have an immaculate 1968 GT Fastback with a 302 V8 and factory highland green pain (re-sprayed), so all in all i'm pretty lucky to own such a beautiful car.
Lately though i've lost my enthusiasm for the car. Its beautiful, and great in a straight line but otherwise I dont find it a particularly engaging ride and it doesnt really handle. I know this is par for the course for classic mustangs but after owning it for a year and a half i have a serious urge to sell it and buy a 1991-92 Porsche 911, 996 model. I drove one the other day and my God does it handle. It also has a serious ammount of power and i found it to be a thrilling ride.
But despite this i have misgivings about letting the Mustang go, its just so beautiful, definitly top 5 most beautiful cars ever made and i've wanted one since i saw Bullit on TV when i was around 15 years of age. That was 18 years ago.
Bottom line though, do i want to look at my car or drive it?
I suppose i've put this post here to see if you fellow Mustang owners can understand my misgivings and my desire for a 911?
