RE: ANYONE WANT A '65 MUSTANG?

Wasn't intended to rain on your parade. "Supging it up" is not the only way to appreciate antique cars. Restoring them to absolute stock condition and showing how cars were made during a particular period in the history of automobiles is valuable.
The Mustang still retains ( I think), the record as the most sucessful new car introduction of all time. It replaced the previous holder of that title, the Ford falcon which had replaced the Model A Ford in that distinction.
While young guys lusted after the various V8 Mustangs, over one third of all Mustangs in 1965 had the SIX cylinder. A properly restored SIX has a charm all its own, and is quite capable of keeping up with traffic; all in all a very desirable car. Not to mention that they are probably the easiest car to restore; absolutely EVERY part is available, and when complete all models are quite saleable.
