Happy Anniversary Mustang. 45 years strong. - Blu-ray Forum

mikejet · 04-17-2009, 02:00 PM

One of the most iconic cars ever made. I drove one last year in Maui for my wedding. Top down on the road to Hana was amazing.

My uncle owns a 67 Fastback that he's currently restoring. Original 289 still in it.

45 years is pretty impressive. Congrats Ford.

I have to say, very classy.

Blu-Benny · 04-17-2009, 02:05 PM

my all time fav!!!

mikejet · 04-17-2009, 02:08 PM

I prefer the real Shelby over the Elanor copy sicne that's just a fiberglass kit. The original Shelby GT-500 and it's sibling the GT-350 are pure monsters on the track.

Same here. Eleanor was/is a great car, but it made the 1967 'stang kind of played out for a while there: everyone and their brother all of a sudden said their favorite car was a 1967 Mustang fastback after they saw Gone in 60 Seconds. I mean, it's cool that it opened their eyes, but kind of a trip that it took a modern movie to do it. That car needs no special treatment to get its due recognition. It stands on its own as a classic.

There was a similar fad in the mid-1990s when for some reason 1968 and 1969 Camaros were all the rage; they just became blasé after that to me for a while because "everyone had to have one." Now the fad has died out and I can enjoy them again.

So did I.

It's certainly a date movie with me and the wife.

While the Eleanor in the new Gone in 60 looked better, I still like the original Gone in 60 Seconds. They drive the hell out of the 73 in that one.

There used to be a Saleen showroom near me and WOW...I was in there for hours. Too bad it closed

Blu-Benny · 04-17-2009, 05:38 PM

pacificvibes · 04-17-2009, 05:40 PM

Hey did any of you guys know that you can rent the Shelby GT500 from Hertz????

I did when it first started, even though I was too young; but holy crap. That was a beast. SOOOOOOOOOO fast. When Im at a red light, the engine purrs like a kitten. But man it was costly to rent it. But oh so worth it.

Yeah, the GT500h. They are actually going to sell them off from what I hear to the highest bidders after they are done.

They had it to rent in Maui when I was out there. Cost more to rent for a week than I spent on my entire trip.

Beautiful car though.

I used to have a '95 GT hardtop and a '96 Cobra convertible.

I know, it was like 200 a day or something crazy like that...but damn, everyone's eyes were on me. I drove it down the 1 and people just stopped and stared
